Adalric of Alsace

Adalric of Alsace (also called Eticho or Etichon-⁠Adalric) was duke of Alsace from 662 until his death on 20 February 690 at the castle of Hohenbourg. He was born around 635 in the region around Dijon, founded the dynasty of the Etichonids, and is the father of Saint Odile, patroness of Alsace. Our sources present him as a major political figure of late-7th-⁠century Austrasia, not as a saint, and mention no veneration, feast day or miracles; so we cannot say that he is venerated as a saint. He is believed to be an ancestor of the houses of Habsburg, Baden and Lorraine.
