Conrad I, Count of Luxembourg

Conrad I (c. 1040 – 8 August 1086) was count of Luxembourg (1059–1086), succeeding his father, Giselbert.[1]

Seal of Conrad I of Luxembourg. The Latin inscription on the border of the seal reads: CONRARDVS COMES DE LVCELEMBVRCH

Conrad 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]

Conrad founded the Orval Abbey in 1070 with Count Arnold I of Chiny and the Altmünster Abbey in 1083.[4]

His nephew was Hézelon de Liège, canon and architect of the church of Cluny Abbey (Cluny III [fr]).[5]
