At the palace school he was tutor to Gisla, the sister, and Rodtruda, the daughter of Charlemagne. When Alcuin went to Tours 796 , Candidus was his successor as master of the palace school.

Ecgfrith died December 796 was a List of monarchs of Mercia King of Mercia who briefly ruled in the year 796. He was the son and heir of King Offa of Mercia and his wife Cynethryth . In 787, Offa had Ecgfrith crowned as co ruler. He succeeded his father in July 796, but despite Offa s efforts to secure his son s succession, it is recorded that Ecgfrith ruled for only 141 days. Since Offa died either on July 26 or July 29, this would mean that Ecgfrith died either on December 14 or December 17. Offa thus appears to have moved to eliminate dynastic rivals to the succession of his son.

Fridugisus , also known as Fredegisus or Fredegis of Tours born in England towards the end of the eighth century died in Tours around 834 , was a monk, teacher, and writer. An Anglo Saxon , he was a pupil of Alcuin , first at York and afterwards at the court of Charlemagne . The proximate date of his birth is determined by a reference to him as a boy puer in a letter of Alcuin dated 798. He was a favourite pupil of Alcuin and was one of the group of distinguished scholars who formed the Schola palatina in Aachen , in which he was known by the name Nathaniel. At that time he was a deacon . When, in 796, Alcuin became Abbot of Tours Fridugisus seems to have remained at the court. According to some authorities he was Alcuin s successor as Master of the Palace School. This is, however, improbable. In 804 he succeeded his teacher as Abbot of Tours, retaining at the same time his relations with the emperor. Among his contemporaries he enjoyed a reputation for great learning. He composed several poems and a short treatise in epistolary form, which deals with the nature of nothing and darkness, De nihilo et tenebris ref http www.pvspade.com Logic docs fridugis.pdf PDF here ref . The epistle was written probably during the author s residence at Tours. It is addressed to all the faithful and to those who dwell in the sacred Palace of the most serene prince Charles . It dealt with the question, are nothing and darkness real things? Some suggest that this was inspired by the Biblical use of the words in the first chapter of the Book of Genesis . If the Bible uses the words nothing and darkness, it seemed that there must be things corresponding to those words. Fridugisus accepts this answer and defends it both by arguments from authority and by arguments from reason. That his solution, however, was not generally accepted is clear from the opening words of the treatise, in which he refers to the long prevailing divergence of opinion in the matter. The treatise makes use of the di ... more details

Osbald was a king of Northumbria during 796. He was a friend of Alcuin , a monk from York who often sent him letters of advice. Osbald was a violent man and most likely a murderer as modern records suggest. On 9 January AD 780, he killed Bearn, the son of King lfwald I of Northumbria lfwald by burning him to death at Selectune possibly Silton, North Yorkshire . ref CathEncy wstitle Osbald ref In 793 Alcuin wrote two letters to Osbald urging him to give up his extravagant way of life. He criticised his greedy behaviour, luxurious dress and his pagan hair style. He warned him to devote himself to God because Luxury in princes means poverty for the people . Osbald became king of Northumbria in 796 at a time when it was dissolving into anarchy. He ruled for 27 days before being abandoned by the royal household and deserted by the people. He went into exile in Lindisfarne . Here Alcuin wrote Osbald a letter urging him to become a monk. After Osbald s refusal Alcuin sent another letter. It read My dear friend Osbald I am disappointed in you for not taking my advice. I urged you in my letter that you should give up this way of life. Do not add sin to sin by ruining your country and shedding blood. Think how much blood of kings, princes, and people has been shed through you and your family.

He held the two abbacies and the bishopric concurrently until his death. He was the first archbishop of Trier. Richbod was a pupil of Alcuin at the court of Charlemagne . In that inner court circle, where the learned assumed ancient names associated with wise men, he was Macarius. He was regarded as a man wise before God and popular with men. According to Alcuin, he was a great admirer of Vergil , whose Aeneid he was reputed to know better than the Gospels . In 798, he drew up a response to the adoptionist heresy of Felix of Urgel . Other than this, his actions as archbishop are obscure. In Lorsch, however, he transferred the dormitory from the north to the south and surrounded it with a wall. Furthermore, he surrounded the tomb of Nazarius and Celsus Saint Nazarius with a gold and silver lattice and a colourful new marble floor. He died in Trier and was buried in the abbey at Lorsch.
