Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adalbert_I,_Margrave_of_Tuscany
Adalbert I (c. 820 – 886[1]) was the margrave of Tuscany from about 847 and the 
guardian of the island of Corsica (tutor Corsicae insulae).

He was the son of Boniface II, Margrave of Tuscany, who had been despoiled of his 
fiefs by the Emperor Lothair I, and successor of his elder brother Aganus. The reign of 
Adalbert was long and successful.

He took the side of Carloman, King of Bavaria, against Charles the Bald, King of 
France, in the struggle for the Kingdom of Italy. This even though the latter was 
supported by the pope. When the Roman court persisted in this "interference", 
Adalbert marched on the eternal city, forced John VIII to take refuge in the St Peter's 
Basilica, and forced the Roman citizens to swear fealty to Carloman. Excommunication 
by Pope John had little effect on him.[2]

He died in 884 or, more probably 886, and was succeeded by his son Adalbert II.
