    Hunold van Aquitanië (ook bekend als Hunald of Hunoald) was van 735 tot en met 748 hertog van Aquitanië.

    In 735 volgde hij zijn vader Odo de Grote op. In 748 moest hij zich onder Frankische druk gedwongen terugtrekken in een klooster en werd hij opgevolgd door zijn zoon Waifar.

    Hunald (also known as Hunoald, Hunuald, Chunoald, Chunold, Hunold, or Hunaud), Duke of Aquitaine (735-744 or 748), succeeded his father Odo the Great in 735.

    He refused to recognize the high authority of the Frankish mayor of the palace, Charles Martel, whereupon Charles marched south of the Loire, seized Bordeaux, and Blaye, but eventually allowed Hunald to retain Aquitaine on condition that he should pledge fealty.[1]

    From 736 to 741, the relations between Charles and Hunald seem to have remained amicable, but upon Charles's death in 741, Hunald declared war against the Franks. Pepin and Carloman in turn crossed the Loire, ransacked the region of Berry and the outskirts of Bourges and, later, destroyed the castle of Loches and took prisoners all its inhabitants. Hunald seems to have retaliated by rampaging and burning Chartres. However, Hunald begged for peace in 745 and retired to a monastery, probably on the Île de Ré.[2]

    We find him later in Italy, where he allied himself with the Lombards and was stoned to death.[3] He had left the duchy of Aquitaine to Waifer, who was probably his son, and who struggled for eight years in defending his independence.

    At the death of Pepin and at the beginning of the reign of Charlemagne, there was a last rising of the Aquitanians. This revolt was directed by a certain Hunald and was repressed in 769 by Charlemagne and his brother Carloman. A certain Hunald sought refuge with the duke of the Gascons, Lupus, who handed him over to his enemies. In spite of the opinion of certain historians, this Hunald seems to have been a different person (Hunald II) from the old duke of Aquitaine

    Hunald1 ou Hunaud, né vers 705 et mort en 774, est duc d’Aquitaine de 735 à 769.
    Présentation

    Fils du duc Eudes d'Aquitaine, il succède à son père en 735 avec son frère Hatton, puis devient seul duc la même année, après avoir prêté serment de fidélité à Charles Martel2.

    Contestant le partage du royaume franc à la mort de Charles Martel, en 741, en soutenant la révolte du duc Odilon de Bavière et de Griffon (fils de Martel). Les fils de ce dernier, Pépin et Carloman, envahissent l’Aquitaine et occupent Bourges, Loches et s’arrêtent au Vieux-Poitiers. En représailles, il réussit à s'emparer de Chartres qu'il détruit par le feu (743). En 745 les deux frères obligent Hunald à abdiquer en faveur de son fils Waïfre.

    Contraint de se retirer au monastère de l’île de Ré, le duc s'exécute après avoir châtié cruellement, en lui crevant les yeux, son frère Hatton coupable d’être resté fidèle à Carloman et Pépin3.

    Il est difficile de savoir si c’est le même Hunald que l'on retrouve à la tête de l'insurrection des Aquitains en 769 au début du règne de Charlemagne, ou son petit-fils Hunald II. Toujours est-il que celui-ci fut livré à Charlemagne par Lupus, duc des Gascons, chez qui il s'était réfugié. Il réussit cependant à s'enfuir en Italie chez Didier, roi des Lombards. Charlemagne étant venu attaquer le roi des Lombards, Hunald défendit longtemps Pavie avant d'être lapidé par les habitants qui voulaient se rendre.
  • He died in the year 774, he was 69 years old.
  • A child of Eudes i Odo and Waltrude van Orléans
