  • Ageltrude was the Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Italy as wife and mother respectively of Guy (reigned 891 – 894) and Lambert (reigned 894 – 898). She was the regent for her son and actively encouraged him in opposing her archenemies, the Carolingians, and in influencing papal elections in their favour. She was the daughter of Prince Adelchis of Benevento and Adeltrude. She married Guy in the early 880s, when he was still just the duke and margrave of Spoleto and Camerino. In 894, she accompanied her young son to Rome to be confirmed as emperor by Pope Formosus, who supported the Carolingian claimant Arnulf of Carinthia. In 896, she and her son were holed up in Spoleto when Arnulf marched into Rome and was crowned in opposition to Lambert. Arnulf was soon paralysed by a stroke and Formosus died. Ageltrude quickly interfered to assert her authority in Rome and have elected her candidate as Pope Stephen VI. At her and Lambert's request, the body of Formosus was disinterred and tried, convicted and hurled into the Tiber in the Cadaver Synod.
  • Fu lei a volere fortemente, insieme a suo figlio, il processo al defunto papa Formoso, passato alla storia come il "sinodo del cadavere". Quando però il figlio Lamberto morì durante una battuta di caccia, si ritirò in un monastero.
  • Ageltrude was een dochter Adelchis van Benevento en van Adeltrude. Zij was gehuwd met keizer Guido van Spoleto. In 894 trok zij met haar zoon Lambert van Spoleto om hem te laten bevestigen als keizer door paus Formosus, die evenwel een aanhanger was van Arnulf van Karinthië. Toen Arnulf in 896 Rome binnentrok, dienden zij zich te verschuilen. Maar Arnulf kreeg kort daarop een beroerte en paus Formosus overleed. Daarop gebruikte Ageltrude haar invloed om paus Stefanus VI (VII) te laten verkiezen. Het lichaam van paus Formosus werd daarop opgegraven en berecht en veroordeeld en in de Tiber geworpen tijdens de Kadaversynode.
