Angelbert was a Frankish soldier and poet, possibly from Aquitaine. His "Verses on the Battle that was Fought at Fontenoy" are a first-hand description of the Battle of Fontenoy of 25 June 841, in which he participated with the army of Lothair I. They are an important piece of battle literature from the twilight of the Carolingian Renaissance. Historian Bernard Bachrach has examined them as a source for the emotional effects of battle during the ninth century. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/

Angilbert (Saint Angilbert) ou Angilberk (du francique Agil « lame » et Berht « brillant »), en latin Angilbertus Centulensis, né vers 740 et mort le 18 février 814 à l’abbaye de Saint-Riquier (nommée à l'origine Centula), en Picardie, est un proche conseiller de Charlemagne, l’un de ses diplomates et un poète reconnu. Duc des Terres maritimes, avoué et septième abbé de Saint-Riquier, il vit pendant deux ans en concubinage avec Berthe, troisième fille de Charlemagne. Angilbert, qui finit sa vie comme simple moine à Saint-Riquier, est vénéré comme un saint, le jour de sa mort, le 18 février.
