Matfrid

Matfrid (died 836) was the Frankish count of Orléans in the reign of Emperor Louis the Pious.

Restored to favour, he led a Frankish army on the Marca Hispanica, the Spanish frontier, in 827, jointly with his sister's husband Hugh, Count of Tours and Louis's son Pippin, King of Aquitaine.

Thereafter, although Matfrid supported the rebellions of Emperor Louis's sons on every occasion, he was repeatedly restored to his lands, title, and imperial favour.

Jonas of Orléans addressed his "mirror of princes" work De Institutione laicali to Matfrid.

[1] Later cognatic members of the Matfriding clan included Godfrey I, Duke of Lower Lorraine.
