Anscar av Ivrea, född 835
i Ivrea, Torino, Piemonte, Italien, död 902
i Ivrea, Torino, Piemonte, Italien. Markgreve av Ivrea 888-902.
Anscar was the margrave of Ivrea from 888 to his death. From 877 or 879, he was the count of Oscheret in Burgundy. He
supported Guy III of Spoleto for the throne of France after the deposition of Charles the Fat in 887, but after Guy's failed attempt
and the coronation of Odo, Count of Paris, he returned with Guy across the Alps, where the duke was elected King of Italy. In
gratitude, he created the March of Ivrea in the northeast and invested his Burgundian supporter. He was a son of the count
Amadeus of Oscheret of possible Bavarian origin with landholdings also in Tegernsee. Anscar was a counsellor of Boso of
Provence and brother of Fulk, Archbishop of Rheims, who strongly supported the Carolingian dynasty in France. With Fulk, he
probably invited Guy to France. Anscar fought on behalf of Guy's kingship in Italy. He battled Arnulf of Carinthia during the
latter's invasion of 894 and he supported Guy's son Lambert after Guy's death that year. In 896, he was one of the few in the north
to oppose Arnulf second invasion. After Lambert's death, he supported Berengar of Friuli as king and became his chief counsellor.
