The Abbey of Echternach is a Benedictine monastery. The abbey was founded in the VII century by St Willibrord, the patron saint of Luxembourg.
The earliest and most reliable information about Irmina is contained in 5 charters, which were issued by the abbess in favor of the Abbey of Echternach (at this moment Luxembourg) and date back to 697/98-704.
The life of Irmina was created shortly before 1081 by the monk Thiofrid, later abbot of the monastery of Echternach. Together with other works by Thiofrid, the life of Irmina was included in the chronicle of Theodoric of Echternach (Theodoric Scholastic).
At the same time, information about Irmina, including legendary ones, appeared in the “History of the Trier'es” (De rebus Treverensibus libellus. 12 // MGH. SS. T. 14. P.104) and in the “Deeds of the Trier'es” (Gesta Treverorum // Ibid. T. 8. P. 160, 195), kept in the National Library of Luxembourg. In these works, Irmina is represented as the daughter of a member of the Merovingian dynasty of the Frankish king Dagobert I (623-638/9) and his wife Matilda, which is still the subject of historical and theological discussions.
Other children sometimes attributed by genealogists to Hugobert and Irmina include:
Chrodelinda, who was likely the daughter of Irmina and Chiriveus. She married Wido, Abbot of Saint Wandrile. Their son Warnhar was Count of Horbach and was the patriarch of the Widonids
In the so-called Frankish Table of Nations (c. 520), probably a Byzantine creation, the son of Mannus, who was the ancestor of the Irminones, is named Ermunaz (or Armen, Ermenius, Ermenus, Armenon, Ermeno, as it appears in various manuscripts).
Pliny'sNatural History (4.100) claimed that the Irminones included the Suebi, Hermunduri, Chatti, and Cherusci.
He is said to have fathered the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals, Gepids, and Saxons. In a variation on the table that appears in the Historia Brittonum, the Vandals and Saxons have been replaced by the Burgundians and Langobards.
They may have differentiated into the tribes Alamanni, Hermunduri, Marcomanni, Quadi, and Suebi by the first century AD. By that time the Suebi, Marcomanni, and Quadi had moved southwest into the area of modern-day Bavaria and Swabia. In 8 BC, the Marcomanni and Quadi drove the Boii out of Bohemia.
The term Suebi is usually applied to all the groups who moved into this area, although later in history (around 200 AD) the term Alamanni (meaning "all-men") became more commonly applied to the group.
Jǫrmunr, the Viking Age Norse form of the name Irmin, can be found in a number of places in the Poetic Edda as a by-name for Odin. Some aspects of the Irminones culture and beliefs may be inferred from their relationships with the Roman Empire, from Widukind's confusion over whether Irmin was comparable to Mars or Hermes, and from Snorri Sturluson's allusions, at the beginning of the Prose Edda, to Odin's cult having appeared first in Germany before spreading up into the Ingvaeonic North.
According to possible sources of Byzantine and Frankish ambassadors, starting from the era of the Byzantine emperor from the Macedonian dynasty Leo VI, and above all, the conversation of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus with Liutprand of Cremona, the ambassador of the Italian King in 949, the most fair version seems to be about thatf fact, with the beginning of the Romanization of Spain, in accordance with the earlier historical tradition of fixing a personal name for a person by the place of his origin, especially for those born in a noble family, the name D'Armignon or D'Armiñon, later Arminho - is a prenomen, that is, the first name given by the parents of own son born in the province of Armiñón - is mentioned in the Sanctuary of San Millan of the eleventh century under the denomination of Aramingon.
Another probable source is the stories of Constantine VIII's paternal sister Anna of Constantinople (she was for some time the wife of Louis III the Blind, King of Provence and Lower Burgundy) and possibly the accounts of the younger daughter of the Provençal King Hugh of Arles, the illegitimate Bertha, who changed her name to Eudocia after her marriage to Constantine VII's son Romanos II. The use of oral sources is evidenced by the historical and geographical treatise "On the Administration of the Empire" with a description of the peoples and neighbors of the Byzantine Empire, compiled between 948 and 952 by Constantine VII for the instruction of his successor Romanos.
Both versions require detailed clarification with the help of additional archival sources, since the estimated founding year of the province of Armiñón is 1140.
"Dynasties of Europe. Complete Genealogy of Sovereign Houses". (In Russian).
Maps of migration of the mtDNA haplogroup U2e1h3'4 according according to the company's version FamilyTreeDNA indicate the genealogical predetermination of Arminho and of Sancha of Castile.
Information from some encyclopedic sources suggests also testifies that one of Berold's closest direct male descendants is Humbert I, the founder of the powerful Savoy dynasty, therefore, Arminho is supposed to be Humbert I's grandfather or great-grandfather in age.
At the same time, the onomastic etymology of the LatinnameArminius is unknown, and confusion is further created by recent scholars who alternately referred to him as Armenus.
The name Arminius appears to be of Etruscan origin, appearing as armne and armni on inscriptions found at Volaterrae.
Another version is also being considered which says, that name was given to Arminius for his service in Arminiya, also known as the Ostikanate of Arminiya (Armenian: Հայաստանի Օստիկանություն, Hayastani ostikanut'yun) or the Emirate of Armenia (Arabic: إمارة أرمينية, imārat armīniya).
The name Arminius was identified in the 16th century, possibly by Martin Luther, as a Latinized form of the name Hermann or German. Derived from the ancient Old High German proto-language, the name Hermann or German also means “Man of War”, where heri(army) and man (man) or from the Ancient Greek ἥρως (hērōs), "hero" (literally protector or defender). This has also led to his English nickname "Hermann the German".
The common ancestor of Arminius and, consequently, of Arminho, according to the, according to Y-DNA Time Tree, is most likely the carrier of haplogroup G-Z17886, who lived 5132 BC. Among his modern descendants is an influential noble family Aminoff of Swedish-Finnish origin, whose roots go back to the Holy Roman Empire and ancient Russia.
Arminho is one of the earliest ancestors of the representatives of the French nobility Famille Arminjon from Savoy, the first mention of whose nobility refers, in particular, to the Act of Recognition dated June 1, 1343.
According to the results confirmed by the world's largest genetic database Family Tree DNA, obtained in the course of molecular genetic analysis conducted by the medical and genetic center of Genotech Holding and the interpretation by Genotech-IT LLC on the basis of the Skolkovo IT cluster of common DNA segments, i.e. those chromosome segments that coincide with the chromosome segments of historical relatives, including data from paleogenetic studies published in GenBank® with the support of the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), one of the many most likely modern descendants of the chromosomal family of the Arminho family tree is assumed to be the carrier of the haplogroup Y-DNA N1c1-Z1936-CTS9925, mtDNA U2e1h, a researcher of creative industries in the field of performing arts Sergey Bondartsev(Nee Sergey Adolfovich) from Kazakhstan, also known in the international community of creative industries as Serge (Aries) Adolf Arminho.
