CHRODGANG [Hruotgang] (-7 Mar [766], bur Monastery of Gorze). Bishop. The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensis names "Chrodegangus antistes ex pago Hasbaniensi oriundus, patre Sigramno, matre Landrada, Francorum ex genere primæ nobilitatis progenitus" as Bishop of Metz, specifying that he was referendarius in the palace of maior domus Charles "Martel"[191]. A list of bishops of Metz records "Chrodegangus archiepiscopus" as 37th bishop, holding the position for 23 years, 5 months and 5 days, his death "pridie Non Mar" and his burial in the monastery of Gorze[192]. "Grodegangus archiepiscopus" donated property "in pago Wormacensi [et] in villa Dagosbesher in Hostoven, Burdus, in villa Flamersheim ecclesiam" to Gorze, with the consent of "Pipini Francorum regis, avunculi mei", by charter dated 25 May 765, witnessed by "Grifonis majoris domus fratris domini Pipini regis, Carli filii regis, Hildradi ducis, Rodingi comitis, Hamedei advocati "[193]. Other sources name Archbishop Chrodgang as brother of Heimrich Graf im Wormsgau (see the document FRANCONIA NOBILITY): "Heimericus" names "germano suo domino Ruodgango archiepiscopo" in an undated charter relating to a donation to Kloster Lorsch[194]; "Karolus rex Francorum", in an undated charter (placed in the compilation with charters dated 772) related to Kloster Lorsch, names "avia Heimerici Williswinda vel genitor suus Cancor, germano suo domino Ruodgango archiepiscopo"[195]. It appears beyond coincidence that two archbishops named Chrodgang existed at the same time. It is possible therefore that all the sources refer to the same person and that "germanus" in the Lorsch sources should be interpreted more broadly than "brother".]
