Who was Conrad I, Count of Luxembourg?
Conrad I, Count of Luxembourg was count of Luxembourg, succeeding his father Giselbert of Luxembourg.
He was embroiled in an argument with the archbishop of Trier as to the abbaye Saint-Maximin in Trier which he had avowed. The archbishop excommunicated him and Conrad had to make honourable amends and set out on pilgrimage for Jerusalem. He died in Italy on the return journey.
He founded many abbeys:
the abbaye d'Orval in 1070, with Arnoul I, count of Chiny.
a Benedictine convent in Münster in 1083
