Teutsind Knowpia

Teutsind (fl. 735–742) was a Frankish cleric, abbot of St Martin, Tours, and of Fontenelle Abbey.^[1]^[2]

Charles Martel appointed him to these offices,^[1] during his tenure of which Teutsind distinguished himself by conveying abbey properties to members of the local nobility in order to ensure their support for the king.^[3]

He is generally considered a poor abbot,^[3]^[4] in that he pursued the king's political agenda to the detriment of the abbeys in his charge, running down their finances and offending benefactors and his fellow clerics.^[3]^[4]
