• He was born in the year 830.
• (Geschiedenis) .Source 1

  Udo (graaf van Lahngouw) (ca. 830 - na 879) was de zoon van graaf Gebhard van de Lahngouw.
  
  Udo nam in 861 samen met zijn broers deel aan de mislukte opstand van Karloman van Beieren tegen diens vader Lodewijk de Duitser. Daarna vluchtten ze naar hun familielid Adalhard de Seneschalk aan het hof van Lotharius II. Met hem vluchtten ze later naar Karel de Kale. Karel gaf ze verantwoordelijkheden in de verdediging van Neustrië tegen de Vikingen. Dit bracht ze echter ook in conflict met de lokale adel. Uiteindelijk verloren Udo en zijn verwanten in 865 de gunst van Karel, de graafschappen van Udo werden aan Gauzlin van Maine gegeven.
  
  In 876 overleed Lodewijk de Duitser en konden Udo en zijn broers terugkeren naar huis. Ze verplaatsten samen met hun vader in 879 het klooster van St Severus naar Gemünden, waar hun vader intrad als monnik en kort later stierf.

  Udo was a 9th-century nobleman of East Francia, a son of Gebhard, Count of Lahngau, and older brother of Berengar I of Neustria. He and his brother were afforded their position in the March of Neustria both by kinship to Adalard the Seneschal and the favour of Charles the Bald.
  
  With his brothers, Berengar and Waldo the Abbot, he took part in the 861 revolt of Carloman of Bavaria, possible his cousin-in-law, against Louis the German. The revolt was crushed and the three brothers fled with their relative Adalard to the court of the West Frankish king, Charles the Bald, who granted them wardship of the march against the Vikings while the march against the Bretons was granted to Robert the Strong.
  
  Charles' patronage of the family provoked the jealousy of the Rorgonids, the most powerful family local to Neustria and then controlling the ducatus Cenomannicus (Maine). In 865, they allied with Saloman of Brittany and attacked the brothers. Charles, to attain peace, took the march back and gave it to Gauzfrid, a Rorgonid.
  
  A charter of 879 mentions Udo and his brothers taking part in the foundation of the college of Gemünden. Evidently, the death of Louis the German in 876 had allowed them to return to the court of Carloman.
  
  He left a son, Conrad, Duke of Thuringia, who was the founder of the Conradine dynasty and father of Conrad I of Germany. A younger son, Rudolf, became Bishop of Würzburg.

• He died after 879.
• A child of Gebhard I von Lahngau and NN van de Nordgau
