Herbert I, Count of Maine, was a nobleman in the early medieval period, known for his role in the region of Maine in present-day France. He was part of the Carolingian dynasty and served as a count during the late 9th century. His leadership contributed to the consolidation of power in the area, which was significant during a time of political fragmentation. Herbert I was the son of Hugh the Great and the grandson of Robert the Strong, linking him to influential noble families. His reign marked a period of relative stability in Maine, and he played a role in the broader political landscape of West Francia.
