    Eric (also Heirichus or Ehericus; died 799) was the Duke of Friuli (dux Foroiulensis) from 789 to his death. He was the eldest son of Gerold of Vinzgouw and by the marriage of his sister Hildegard the brother-in-law of Charlemagne.

  3.   See GEROLD [II] (-killed in battle 1 Sep 799, bur Augia) in Medieval Lands for information on the epitaph.
  4. ↑ Wikipedia indicates that his father was Gerold of Vinzgouw and his sister was Hildegard, wife of Charlemagne. This would make him the son of Gerold of Vinzgouw (Count in Kraichgau) and Imma, daughter of Nebe. However, the same article in Wikipedia indicates that his father Gerold died on the eve of battle with the Avars in 799 - this Gerold was the son of the first Gerold and Imma (and the brother of Hildegard).

    While several sources are listed in the Wikipedia article, none are specifically cited for Eric's parentage, and Cawley<ref></ref> indicates that his parentage is unknown. It is possible that an epitaph referring to Gerold, saying that Queen Hildegard was his sister, was misinterpreted as applying to Eric<ref></ref>.
