Aribo or Arbo (circa 850 – 909) was the margrave (comes terminalis, "frontier count") of the March of Pannonia, from 871 until his death. The March of Pannonia was a frontier march of the Carolingian Empire erected in the mid-ninth century against the threat of Great Moravia and lasting only In his day, the march orientalis corresponded to a front along the Danube from the Traungau to the Szombathely and Raba rivers and including the Vienna basin. The Danube (In Donau from earlier Danuvius, Celtic *dānu, meaning "to flow run" Slovak and Polish Dunaj Traun is a city in the state ( Bundesland) of Upper Austria, Austria. Szombathely, (pronounced sombɒthɛj known by alternative names) is a city in Hungary. Vienna ( in Wien; see also other names) is the Capital of Austria, and is also one of the nine States of Austria.
Aribo was originally appointed to succeed the brothers William and Engelschalk I after they died on campaign against Moravia. William (II was the margrave ( comes terminalis, "frontier count" of the March of Pannonia in the mid ninth century until his death on campaign against Engelschalk I was the margrave ( comes terminalis, "frontier count" of the March of Pannonia in the mid ninth century until his death on campaign against Moravia (Morava; Morawy Moravie Moravia is a historical region in central Europe in the east of the Czech Republic, one of the former Czech lands. [1] This has been used to support the hypothesis that he was a brother-in-law of the two margraves. Aribo maintained peace with Svatopluk of Moravia and it paid off when, in 882, the son of the late margrave Engelschalk, Engelschalk II, rebelled against him, claiming the rights to the march. Svatopluk I (around 830 - 894 from the House of Mojmír was the prince of the Principality of Nitra (850s - 871 and then the king of Great Moravia (871 Engelschalk II was the margrave ( comes terminalis, "frontier count" of the March of Pannonia in the late Ninth century in opposition to The emperor Charles the Fat confirmed Aribo's position and Engelshcalk turned to Arnulf of Carinthia, Aribo's southern neighbour, for support. Charles the Fat (Carolus Pinguis 13 June 839 – 13 January 888) was the King of Alemannia from 876 King of Italy from Arnulf of Carinthia (Arnulf von Kärnten Arnulf Koroški 850 &ndash December 8 899) was the Carolingian King of East Francia from 887 Svatopluk, however, entered the so-called Wilhelminer War on the side of Aribo and the emperor. Wilhelminer War was a minor war fought in the March of Pannonia (later Austria) from 882 to 884. In 884, peace returned to the marcha.
A signe of Aribo's strength after this was that he was unable to be unseated by Arnulf when the latter succeeded to the German throne in 887. This article lists the German monarchs, ruling over the territory of Germany from the creation of a separate Eastern Frankish Kingdom in 843 until the end of monarchy In 893, Arnulf appointed Engelschalk II to a portion of the Pannonian march over Aribo's head. [2] Aribo never reconciled with Arnulf after the Wilhelimner War and his contacts with the Moravians were kept secure. After his falling out, his son Isanrich got Moravian support against Arnulf. Aribo's descendants formed the Aribonid family. The Aribonids were a noble family of probably Bavarian origin who rose to preeminence in the March of Pannonia (later Austria) in the late ninth and early They held the Archbishopric of Salzburg in the 10th century, but were pushed out of power in the Duchy of Bavaria by the Liutpoldings.
