Conrad Kurzbold

Conrad (* ca. 885–890; † probably June 30, 948), called Conrad Kurzbold (literally "short-bold") in order to distinguish him from other members of the Conradine dynasty, was Count of Lower Lahngau (Limburg Basin and surrounding areas) and a retainer of East Francian kings Louis the Child, Henry the Fowler, and Holy Roman Emperor Otto the Great. He was a cousin of King Conrad the Younger and founded the Stift of St George in Limburg, around which the city of Limburg an der Lahn developed.
