  === Life Sketch ===
  Count Wido is the descendant and successor of the property of Warnharius, who founded the Hornbach monastery in the Palatinate around 742; Also descendants of Warnharius are Willigart (828 donor from Wilgartswiesen (Palatinate)) and her Nepos Warnharius; Werner, the progenitor of the Salier family, is also one of the successors of the property and probably also one of the descendants of Warnharius ’.
  
  Wido appears for the first time together with the abbot Fulrad of Saint-Denis - still in the service of King Pippin the Younger († 768) - in Alsace and in Ortenau. In 782, under pressure from Charlemagne, he had to give up his claims that he had raised against the Mettlach monastery that his father had brought into his possession. In 796 he and his brother Warnharius appear as the owners of the Hornbach monastery.
  
  He received rule over Nantes and the Breton Mark before 799, at the same time his brother Frodoald (Hrodolt) was subordinate to him as Count of Vannes; in the period after that he seems to have largely subjugated Brittany - at least for a short time.
  
  A member of the noble family of the WIDONEN, was apparently in the service of King Pippin, initially with Abbot Fulrad von St-Denis in Alsace and in the Ortenau. Installed in 799 by KARL THE GREAT as prefect of the Breton Mark, he subjugated Brittany to the Frankish Empire. He was in close contact with Alcuin, who praised him in CHARLES THE GREAT as "vir perfectus et iudex incorruptus" and dedicated his "Liber de virtutibus et vitiis" to him. In the Breton Mark, his son Lambert has been a count since 806 and a prefect from 818.

  Before and after 800 a particularly capable Wido appears, like the famous Hruodland as comes ac praefectus Britanni limitis, that is, Margrave of Brittany. The fact that a SALIER was entrusted with the responsible, influential office of a margrave speaks for the great importance of his family. His position was extremely difficult. In 799 Wido completely defeated the Bretons and brought the arms of the Celtic chiefs with their names engraved to the Emperor KARL to Worms as a sign of victory. After his victory, Wido took his seat in Vannes, which had been the focal point of the battle. The document book of the Redon Monastery has the significant date "regnante Jarnhitin et Wido comite" in a document from 814, thus trying to combine the pseudo-rule of the Breton chief with the official activity of Wido.
  This Margrave Wido was, which shows the warlike high aristocrats from the intellectual side, in close contact with the greatest scholar of his time, Alkuin, whose lectures in the "court school" he might have heard. At Wido's "honorable" request, Alcuin wrote a treatise on the main vices and virtues for the warrior, intended as a comforting manual for the count, ready at any time, to show him the way to the "summit of perfection". This font was initially only intended for Wido, the Alcuin in the dedication letter as "dearly beloved son" and Ew. Liebden ", but was copied a lot and is still preserved in quite a few manuscripts from the 9th and 10th centuries. Alcuin's very favorable judgment of Wido, whom he praised as a" perfect man, incorruptible judge and loyal messenger ", illuminates Alcuin's letter to KARL DEN GROSSEN from 801/02.
  With the Hornbach abbot and convent, Wido, who remained in the closest relationship with the Hornbach family monastery, turned to Archbishop Riculf of Mainz with a church request in the years 803 to 813. As early as 796 he had given gifts to the monastery. He died in 814.
  This capable Margrave Wido, so highly valued by Alcuin, is the earliest great, versatile, warlike and intellectually outstanding personality among the SALIERN, who at the same time proves her personal and at the same time the general connection between West and East Franconia.
  
  Guy, also called Guido, (died before 819) was appointed to replace the late Roland as Warden of the Breton March after his death at the Battle of Roncesvalles in 778. Guy no more effectively exercised control over Brittany than his predecessor, but was the chief contact by which the Bretons knew French policy. His actual territory of control was the County of Nantes. Carolingian infighting distracted Guy and prevented him from exhibiting any real authority. It was to be Norman pressure on the Bretons which would open a portal to a French dynasty in Brittany under Berengar of Rennes. Guy was the son of Lambert and Teutberga of the Austrasian family of the Widonids. Guy received his charge in Neustria and Nantes about 799, at the same time that his brother Frodoald received the county of Vannes. Royal annals note in the year 799 that "Guy, prefect of the marches of Brittany, who in the same year traversed the whole province with the counts his colleagues, came to present [to Charlemagne] at Aachen, the arms of the Breton chiefs who had been rendered to him, and on each trophy was inscribed the name of the chief to whom the weapon belonged." It was specified at the same time that "Brittany appeared then to be entirely subject." Guy's name subsequently appears, notably in 814, in the many acts recorded in the cartulary of the abbey of Saint-Sauveur de Redon, where it is found beside that of Jarnhitin, machtiern or princeps plebis (prince of the people). The cartulary says "Jarnhitin rules, Guy is count." Guy died before 819, leaving his son Lambert as count of Nantes and prefect of the march.
