ADALBERO I, Bishop of Metz. - He was elected bishop of Metz in 929, and promoted and carried out the restoration of many abbeys, among them those of Gorze (933), Saint-Arnoul (942), Sainte-Glossilde (944-948), Saint-Clément (c. 946), etc., whence he was called "pater monachorum". When Louis IV occupied Lorraine (940), A. defended Metz against Otto I, but when this region came once again under Germany, he served the emperor faithfully. He died, it is not known for certain whether on 23 February or 26 April 987.
