Notes for ST. ARNULF


Arnoul=Arnulf, Bishop De Metz (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 129, Line 171-46.) (Paul, Nouveau Larousse Universel.). Note -: Arnoul was the 29th. Bishop of Metz, in 612. He was canonized by the Church, Saint Arnoul. He became the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, and tutor of Dagobert. In the year 614, when Clotaire II had had Brunehaut killed, he remained the only descendant of the sons of Clovis alive. But he is only a toy in the hands of the Franc aristocracy both lay and ecclesiastic. At the head of each of the three ancient kingdoms, Austrasia, Neustria and Burgundy, the Major Domus [Mayor of the
Palace] gains progressively greater importance. On 18 October 614, Clotaire II signed the Edict of Paris which in 27 articles, essentially formed the basic power structure for the Council of Bishops and the Assembly of the Greats [nobles] . In 623, Clotaire II was pushed by the Bishop of Metz and also Pepin [Le Vieux De Landen] , the Mayor of the Palace to give Austrasia its own King. Thus, Clotaire II's son Dagobert became King of Austrasia and under the tutelage of Arnoul. Born: on 13 Aug 582, son of Bodegisel, Dux d'Aquitaine (5010) and Oda De Saxe. Married circa 596: Dode=Doda=Clothilde De Saxe (3582). Died: on 16 Aug 641 at age 59.--Michael J Raffin
Arnulf, born of noble parents and educated in learning and piety, was called to the court of King Theodebert II of Austrasia, in which he was equally admired for prudence in council and valour in the field: he joined the virtues of a Christian with the duties of a statesman. Having married a noble lady called Doda, he had by her two sons, Clodulf and Ansegisel; by the latter's marriage with a daughter of Bd Pepin (called "of Landen") the Carlovingian kings of France descended from St. Arnoul. Fearing the danger of entangling his soul in the many affairs which passed through his hands, he wanted to retire to the monastery of Lerins, but was stopped by the clergy and people of Metz demanding him for their bishop. He was therefore consecreated about the year 610, and while fulfilling his new duties with exactness, he continued to take a prominent part in public affairs: as, for example, on the death of Theodebert and his brother Theirry, when with other nobles he called Clotaire of Neustria to the throne of Austrasia. Ten years later Clotaire divided his dominions, and giving charge of Austrasia to his son Dagobert, appointed St. Arnoul his chief counsellor. The holy bishop did not for long continue to guide this prince; he asked and received permission to quit the court, which he had long wished to do (Dagobert at first threatened to cut Arnoul's son's head off if he went away). He then resigned his bishopric, and retired with a friend, St. Romaricus, to a hermitage in the Vosges mountains, later the monastery of Remiremont. Here he died. ---GENMaineD

St. Arnulf
d. 640 Feastday: July 18


Bishop and member of the court of the Frankish king Theodebert II of Austrasia, sometimes called Arnuiph or Arnulf of Metz. A noble, Arnulf married Doda, and their son was Ansegisel. Ansegisel married Beggia, the daughter of Pepin of Landen, starting the Carolingian dynasty of France. Doda became a nun, and Arnulf made plans to enter a monastery but was named the bishop of Nletz around 616. He continued his court services, making Clotaire of Neustria the king of Austrasia. He also served as counselor to Dagobert, King Clotaire's son. In 626, Arnulf retired to a hermitage at Remiremont, France.[JamesLinage.GED]

[familyties.ged]

Arnulf's wife (and mother of Duke Ansgise) was Dode (Clothilde); she became a nun at Treves in 612, the same year that Arnulf became Bishop of Metz. Arnulf and Dode were married about 596.from Frederick L. Weis, "Ancestral Roots..."(1950); there are several
at Hadendum an der Mozel, and later at St. Arnulf's Church at Metz. He died at Horenberg Monastery, Wasenwald. The birth
date shown here is approximate. Arnulf was Mayor of the Palace and tutor of Dagobert, hence a courtier of high standing in the Austrasian palace. He decided to become a monk at Lerins; his wife took the vow and he was about to retire to the monastery when he wa made bishop, about 616. A few years before his death he resigned and retired to the monastery. His feast-day is July 18. (source: Albert E. Meyers database, aem@ezonline.com, http://www.ezonline.com/aem/aem.html)
