Ingobert

Ingobert was a bishop of Urgell. and coPrince of Andorra.

Teodard from Narbonne, the prior nominee, was unable to take up the cathedra due to a serious illness. Taking advantage of the opportunity, a Spanish clergyman named Esclua usurped the title of bishop of Urgell. Pope Stephen VI and the successive councils of Sant Genís de Fontanes, in Porto and Urgell in 892, condemed Esclua who was degraded by breaking his mitre and stripped of his garments and rings. Ingobert was elected bishop between 883 and 885, the latter; 885, was the first date where it is mentioned. It is not known when he died and therefore it is not known when he ceased to be bishop, but it was between 893 and 899, as the year 893 was the date when Ingobert consecrated his last church and 899 was the date when Nantigís consecrated his first church. On January 9, 890, Ingobert consecrated the church of Sant Climent in the town of Ardocale (Ardòvol?); and on October 29 of that same year he signed the deed of dedication of the church of Sant Andreu de Baltarga. In 893 he also consecrated the church of Santa Maria de Merlès in the County of Berga.
