Seal of Conrad I of Luxembourg. The Latin inscription on the border of the seal reads: CONRARDVS COMES DE LVCELEMBVRCH
Conrad I (c. 1040 8 August 1086), Count of Luxembourg, was the first count of Luxembourg (1059 1086), succeeding his father Giselbert of Luxembourg.[1]
He was embroiled in an argument with the archbishop of Trier as to the abbaye Saint-Maximin in Trier which he had avowed.[2] The archbishop excommunicated him and Conrad had to make honourable amends and set out on pilgrimage for Jerusalem to have his excommunication lifted.[2] He died in Italy on the return journey.[3]
He founded many abbeys:
the abbaye d'Orval in 1070, with Arnold I, Count of Chiny
the abbaye d'Altmünster in 1083.[4]
