Erenfried II

Erenfried II (died c. 970) was a Lotharingian nobleman, from the area of Rhineland area in what is now Germany.

According to one proposal, he was a son of Eberhard I, Count of Bonngau, near Bonn, and Zülpichgau. He could otherwise be the same as Ehrenfrid, son of Ricfrid, from the northern Rhineland.

He was Count in the Keldachgau, Count in the Zülpichgau (942), in the Bonngau (945), and in Hubbelrath (950).

Possibly he was also the count of this name in the Hattuariergau (947) and in the neighbouring Tubalgau (Duffelgau) (948), further north.

In this period there was also count of this name in the Belgian county of Huy, who was possibly also Vogt of Stavelot Abbey.

It is proposed that he married Richwara (died 10 July 963) and had issue:
 * Hermann I, Count Palatine of Lotharingia. Although there is record of Hermann's mother being Richwara, the proposal concerning who his father was is likely but not certain.
 * Erenfried, Abbot of Gorze (same as Poppo II Bishop of Würzburg (961-983)?) (fl. 999).
