{{short description|Carolingian era Frankish nobleman}} '''Ingerman (Ingram, Enguerrand)''' (c. 750-818), was a Frankish noble — a [[Counts of Hesbaye|count in the Hesbaye region]], and son of a brother of [[Chrodegang|Saint Chrodegang]], the [[Bishop of Metz]]. He was therefore grandson of [[Sigramnus, Count of Hesbaye|Sigramnus]], another count in the [[Hesbaye]].
==Life== Ingram came from a high noble family from Haspengouw near Liège. He was a nephew of [[Chrodegang]], Bishop of Metz. Ingerman married Rotrude, of unknown parentage. Ingerman and Rotrude had one daughter: * [[Ermengarde of Hesbaye|Ermengarde]].{{sfn|Riché|1993|p=371}} She married into the Frankish royal family, the [[Carolingian Dynasty|Carolingians]] and was the first wife of King [[Louis the Pious]], Son of Charlemagne.
==Primary sources mentioning Ingoram==
There seems to be only one primary source directly mentioning Ingoram.
In a medieval life story of Emperor [[Louis the Pious]], by [[Thegan of Trier]], Louis's wife Ermengarde is said to be a daughter of the noble duke Ingorammus, who was son of a brother of Hruotgangi "sancti pontificis",<ref>MGH SS II [https://www.dmgh.de/mgh_ss_2/index.htm#page/591/mode/1up p.591]</ref> or in other words Saint Chrodegang.
Chrodegang in turn was named in one medieval record as having parents who were nobles from Hasbania (Hesbaye).<ref>''Gesta Episcoporum Mettensis'' MGH SS II, [https://www.dmgh.de/mgh_ss_2/index.htm#page/267/mode/1up p.267].</ref> [[Paul the Deacon]] identified the parents of Chrodegang as Sigram and Landrada.
