Theodo's daughter Uta had become pregnant by her lover. Fearing her father's wrath, she confided to Emmeram and the saint promised to bear the blame, as he was about to travel to Rome. Soon after his departure, Uta's predicament became known and in keeping with the agreement she named Emmeram as the father. Her brother [[Lantpert]] went after Emmeram and greeted him as "bishop and brother-in-law," i.e., ''episcope et gener noster''! Then he had Emmeram cut and torn into pieces. Theodo had the remains of the saint moved to Regensburg.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=nB8sEAAAQBAJ&dq=Theodo+of+Bavaria&pg=PA41 Geary, Patrick J., ''Phantoms of Remembrance: Memory and Oblivion at the End of the First Millennium'', Princeton University Press, 2021, p. 41] {{ISBN\|9781400843541}}</ref> Nothing more is known of Lantpert and Uta.
