Adalbert I (c. 820 – 886[1]) was the margrave of Tuscany from about 847.
He was the son of Margrave Aganus I, the dragon, the warrior or theconqueror, and the nephew of Margrave Boniface II, who had been despoiledof his fiefs by the Emperor Lothair I, and successor of his elder brotherAganus. 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 eventhough the latter was supported by the pope. When the Roman courtpersisted in this "interference", Adalbert marched on the eternal city,forced John VIII to take refuge in the St Peter''s Basilica, and forcedthe Roman citizens to swear fealty to Carloman. Excommunication by PopeJohn had little effect on him.[2]
He died in 884 or, more probably 886, and was succeeded by his sonAdalbert II.
