Was Humbert ever abbot?

I've seen Humbert called: "of Silva Candida," "of Marmoutiers," "of Moyenmoutiers."

The article claims that Humbert was abbot of the monastery in Moyenmoutier. However, the French Wikipedia article contradicts this. Here is the list of abbots of the Abbey of St. Hydulph of Moyenmoutier during Humbert's lifetime:

985-1011 : Almann
1011-1026 : Nardulphe (& Ensibold)
1026-1028 : Guillaume de Volpiano
1028-1029 : Guidric
1029-1039 : Norbert
1039-1062 : Lambert
1062-1076 : Benoît

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Saint-Hydulphe_de_Moyenmoutier

There was also an abbey in the region in Martmoutiers, founded by St. Martin of Tours. I originally learned Humbert's name as coming from this place: "Humbert of Marmoutiers." But, Humbert is not listed as having been an abbot there, either.

1000-1007 : Garisbert
1007-10?? : Sicbard
10??-1015 : Richard
1015-1032 : Évrard
1032-1063 : Albert

So, was Humbert ever an abbot of anyplace?Mwidunn (talk) 14:27, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
