Herman Munster Herman Munster Herman Munster is a fictional character in the CBS sitcom "The Munsters", originally played by Fred Gwynne. The patriarch of the Munster household, Herman is an entity much like Frankenstein's monster, comparable to Lurch on the show's competitor, "The Addams Family". In the context of the series, Herman was created in 1815 at the University of Heidelberg by Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Work on him was finally completed around 1850 (neither Lily nor Grandpa is quite sure when) along with his twin brother Charlie. Leaving (Germany) for Great Britain at a young age, Herman was adopted by the Munsters
Herman, Count of Verdun Herman, Count of Verdun Herman of Ename (d. 28 May 1029), Count of Verdun (1022-1024) and Count of Brabant, was part of the Ardennes-Verdun dynasty. He was the third son of Godfrey I the Prisoner, Count of Verdun, and Matilda, daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony, of the Billung family, a widow of Baldwin III of Flanders. He succeeded his brother Frederick as Count of Verdun in 1022. Little is known about Herman other than he fought valiantly at his father’s side when Lothair of France attacked Verdun in 985, resulting in the capture of his father and brother Frederick.
