Count Gerold can be grasped by the documentary tradition of the monastery of Lorsch as a significant landowner especially in the Middle Rhine region. On July 1, 784, Geroldus et coniux mea Imma of the Reichsabtei donated large estates in Wormsgau, Lobdengau, Anglachgau, Kraichgau, and Uffgau (CL II, No. 1, 880) (see GENSICKE, Worms-, Speyer- und Nabegau 474f., SCHAAB, Lobdengau 565.567, DENS, Kraichgau 597, DENS, Rheinebene 586). Kraichgauer's possession had already brought Geroldus comes and his wife Imma to the Nazi convent earlier, on June 30, 779 (CL III No. 2310, cf. SCHAAB, Kraichgau, 594); From the following day, July 1, 779, a document dated Count Gerold alone as Schenker in the Anglachgau (CL III No. 2503). The Lorsch traditionnotices nos. 3617 and 3289 lead into the field of view of this work. The first of them, Of the years 779 to 783, states that Isenhart gave in ducatu Alemannorum in uilla Giselstede, quidquid Geroldus comes ibidem habere uisus est. It is probably partly the execution of the donation by Geroldus (...) in pago Alemannorum in Reistodinger marca and Giselsteder marca (see SEILER, Northern Wurttemberg 628,633 A. 25). The carta Gerolds bears the date of May 27, 777, and may therefore be safely referred to Count Gerold, who is also 779.
By the Lorsch documents 3617 and 3289 Gerold is by no means designated as a magistrate's magistrate in Alemannia; Nevertheless, one can not exclude the right of censorship in the area of ??Gültstein (map near BORGOLTE, comment: M 5) and in the Mark of Reistingen near Herrenberg (this M 5, cf. GOCKEL 289). A further Lorscher document seems to be a steward of a comitate, however, to Gerold, the lordly landlord in Alemannia. According to CL III, No. 3637, Wanfrit gave goods in Glatten (Map in BORGOLTE, commentary 17) and Dornstetten (16), which are explicitly located in Waltgouue in comitatu Geroldi (on the formula: DIETRICH, Traditionsnotiz, especially 289f.). The document was issued in the years 779-83 (18 April) and refers to properties south-east of Gültstein. With the Count in Waldgau Gerold could be meant. It is true that in the same region, at least 786, another GEROLD (II) has been employed for the purposes of identification (see JÄNICHEN, Baar, and Huntari, 97, SCHOOL 204, 194, to the Gerold document, 107 s. Art. GEROLD II).
The Dornstetten, which was called Glattten as a forest gentry, was found in other documents from the same period also in the Dorn-, Nagold-, Westergau and Bertolds-Baar (BORGOLTE, History of the Counties of Alemannia 129). A separate (Gau) county can not be opened up - contrary to the assumption of older research (BAUMANN, Gaugrafschaften, 136ff., Cf. JÄNICHEN, Baar, and Huntari, 97, SCHULZE 106, 116f. Of the Comitat Gerolds, in the Glatten and Dornstetten, as well as in the Waldgau, can not be exactly described, since only a few counts are left in the sources of the north of the Bertoldsborg (BORGOLTE, History of the Counties of Alemannia, chapter v ).
Before the end of the eighth century, the younger GEROLD (II) was a property of the Bodensee abbeies of Reichenau and St. Gallen, some of which was situated at the Neckarbogen near Horb, near Glatten and Dornstetten. A document issued by Gerold (II) signed Imma genetrix. For this reason, Gerold is rightly the father of the Reichenauer and St. Gallen beneficiaries (first LEICHTLEN, see STÄLIN, then KNAPP and - for the more recent research fundamental - GLÖCKNER). The mother of Queen Hildegard, the daughter of NEBI, who is mentioned at Thegan (Vita Hludowici 590 f. Cap. Since Hildegard was probably born in 757 (ABEL-SIMSON, former Charlemagne I, 449, with A. 3), the estuary of Immas with the middle-class magnate must fall into the fifties. As other children of the Imma are Count UDALRICH (I) and Voto secured. A brother Immas was Count RUADBERT (I).
Apart from Hildegard, Gerold (II), Udalrich (I) and Volo, several other children Gerolds and Immas have been tried repeatedly. Between 784 and 795, perhaps on the 25th of October, 770 (as GOCKEL 243 with A. 183), Megingoz gave to the Nazi convent Giinite in Malsch near Wiesloch and in Rohrbach near Heidelberg, the genitor meus Geroldus in the morning dereliquit (CL II No. 791); Megingoz could have been identical with Meingoz, who transferred his share of the Lambert basilica in Mainz to Lorsch, which he inherited from his brother Gerholt (CL II No. 1974). As a landowner in the Rhine-Main region and as the son of an older and brother of a younger Gerold, Megingoz would fit into the generation of GEROLD (II) (see GOCKEL 243f, MITTERAUER 16, SCHMID 10). If the assignment of the Megingoz is true, one wins for death
