Alberic van Stavelot was the thirteenth abbot of the double abbey of Stavelot-Malmedy, serving during the eighth century. While details regarding his early life and education remain unknown, he held his leadership position between 750 and 770. During his tenure, he acted as an ally to King Pepin the Short, whom he referred to as his senior. He significantly expanded the abbey's holdings by acquiring the Wandelaicus mansus estate from the king.
Life and leadership
As an influential leader, Alberic worked closely with the Carolingian monarchy to strengthen his monastery. He obtained the territory of Wandelaicus mansus, which corresponds to the modern area of Baillamont, from King Pepin the Short. This strategic acquisition helped increase the abbey's wealth and influence within the region.
Veneration
Alberic is recognized as a blessed figure within the church tradition. His memory is honored annually on October 28, a date on which he is commemorated alongside four other former abbots of the Stavelot-Malmedy abbey.
