Gilbert (Giselbert), Count of Maasgau was a Frankish noble in what would become Lotharingia, during his lifetime in the 9th century. The Carolingian dynasty created this "middle kingdom" and fought over it, and he was is mentioned as playing a role on both sides.

After the death of Louis the Pious in 840, Gilbert was a vassal of Charles the Bald in the western kingdom which later became France, but he switched sides to join Charles' brother Lothar I, who would become first king of the future Lotharingia. Gilbert later offered to switch sides again.

Various proposals have been made about his family connections and exact titles, though most of these are considered uncertain.

  • Based upon a contemporary description of him as "comes Mansuariorum", it is proposed that he held the on the lower Meuse.
  • He is sometimes seen as a count who held the Pagus Lomacensis, which included the pagus of Darnau.
  • He is believed to be a likely ancestor or close relative of Reginar I and the Reginarid dynasty.

    Giselbert († nach 14. Juni 877, vielleicht auch nach 6. September 885) ist 841 als Graf im Maasgau und 866 als Graf im Lommegau bezeugt [1]. Seine Herkunft ist unbekannt. In der Forschung wird als sein Vater ein weiterer Giselbert, Nachkomme fränkischer Herzöge, genannt[2], aber auch vermutet, dass er normannischer Herkunft sei: Der Name Reginhar seines Sohnes erinnere an den nordische Namen Ragnar, und die Zeit seines Auftretens falle mit den 825/830 zunehmenden Wikingerüberfällen und der Abtretung von Gebieten in Nordwesteuropa an ihre Anführer zusammen
