Abbot and Benedictine builder, born in Luxembourg. Of noble blood, Ansbald entered the Benedictine Order. He served as a monk until named the abbot of St. Hubert. In 860, Ansbald became the abbot of Prum, which he rebuilt in 882. The Normans had ravaged the abbey, and Ansbald petitioned Holy Roman Emperor Charles the Fat for royal aid in the endeavor, receiving the necessary patronage.
