Dieser Artikel handelt von Herzog Zwentibold, König von Lotharingien.
Zwentibold war der erstgeborene, aber illegitime Sohn von Arnulf von Kärnten und zunächst als dessen Nachfolger vorgesehen.
In zeitgenössischen Quellen wird Zwentibold als unbegabt und hemmungslos geschildert, förderte allerdings den Bau von Kirchen und Klöstern und gilt besonders als Förderer der Abtei Susteren, in der seine Töchter Benedikta und Cäcilia Äbtissinnen waren.

Zwentibold quickly became embroiled with the nobles and the bishops, and especially with Bishop Radbod of Trier.
Among the lay lords the most important was Regnier (incorrectly called Long-neck), count of Hesbaye and Hainault, who is styled duke by the Lotharingian chronicler Reginon, though he does not appear ever to have borne the title.
After the death of Arnulf in 899, the Lotharingians appealed to his successor, Louis the Child, to replace Zwentibold, who, on the 13th of August 900, was killed in battle.
