Anscar I (died March 902) was the margrave of Ivrea from 888[1] to his death. From 
877 or 879, he was the count of Oscheret in Burgundy. He supported Guy III of 
Spoleto for the throne of France after the deposition of Charles the Fat in 887, but 
after Guy's failed attempt and the coronation of Odo, Count of Paris, he returned with 
Guy across the Alps, where the duke was elected King of Italy. In gratitude, he 
created the March of Ivrea in the northeast and invested his Burgundian supporter. He 
was a son of the count Amadeus of Oscheret of possible Bavarian origin with 
landholdings also in Tegernsee. Anscar was a counsellor of Boso of Provence and 
brother of Fulk, Archbishop of Rheims, who strongly supported the Carolingian dynasty 
in France. With Fulk, he probably invited Guy to France. Anscar fought on behalf of 
Guy's kingship in Italy. He battled Arnulf of Carinthia during the latter's invasion of 894 
and he supported Guy's son Lambert after Guy's death that year. In 896, he was one 
of the few in the north to oppose Arnulf second invasion. After Lambert's death, he 
supported Berengar of Friuli as king and became his chief counsellor.

Anscar's wife was unknown, but he had only one son, Adalbert, through whom he was 
the progenitor of a dynasty, the Anscarids.
