BIOGRAPHY
Ebalus Mancer (also known as Manzer, Manser and Manzeras) was born about 870, an illegitimate son of Ramnulf II, comte de Poitou. The meaning of Mancer is disputed. Mancer is a Germanic habitational name, but also a Germanic personal name formed from 'magin', meaning 'strength' or 'might' (magnus). It may also be a corruption of the Hebrew 'mamzer', meaning 'bastard', hence the appellation sometimes seen, Ebalus 'the Bastard', and his supposed Jewish mother. The same name was used by another prince from Occitania. Arnaud Manzer, count of Angoulême (born 952 - died 988/92) who was also a bastard. This fact makes problematic the speculation about the Germanic origin of the name.

Ebalus was count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine on two occasions: from 890 to 892 and from 902 (Poitou) and 927 (Aquitaine) to his death. He succeeded his father Ramnulf in 890, but was driven out in 892 by Aymar, who was supported by Eudes of France. Ebalus gained the backing of Guillaume I 'le Pieux', count of Auvergne, who placed Aquitaine under his own authority in 893.

About 892 Ebalus married Aremburgis and they had two sons: Ebalus who became bishop of Limoges, and Guillaume who would have progeny.

In 902 Ebalus launched the reconquest of his county with an army lent by his distant relative Guillaume I 'le Pieux'. He took Poitiers while Aymar was away and established control of the county. He was invested as count by Charles III, with whom Ebalus had been raised. The comital title was the only one to which he ever had legitimate investiture. Ebalus allotted the abbey of Saint-Maixent to Savary, viscount of Thouars, who had been his constant supporter. He restructured Poitou by creating new viscounties in Aulnay and Melle, and he dissolved the title and position of viscount of Poitou upon the death of its holder Maingaud in 925.

In 904 Ebalus conquered the Limousin. In 911 he was in Chartres with an army to oppose Rollo, the Viking leader to whom King Charles 'the Simple' gave Normandy the same year. Guillaume, the son of Ebalus, would marry Gerloc of Normandy, daughter of Rollo, in 935.

In 927, Guillaume II, successor of Guillaume I 'le Pieux', and then his Guillaume II's successor, his brother Acfred, died within a year. Acfred had made Ebalus his heir; Ebalus thus found himself duke of Aquitaine, and count of Berry, Auvergne, and Velay.

In 929 Raoul, king of France, started to reduce the power of Ebalus. He withdrew from him access to Berry, then in 932 he transferred the titles of Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Auvergne to Raymond Pons, comte de Toulouse. Moreover, the territory of La Marche, which was under the control of the lord of Charroux, a vassal of Ebalus, was transformed into an independent county.

Ebalus died in 934, and was succeeded by his son Guillaume.
