Adalbert II (c. 875–915<ref name=wickham>Template:Cite book</ref>), called the Rich, son and successor of Adalbert I of Tuscany, and grandson of Boniface I, was much concerned in the troubles of Lombardy, at a time when so many princes were contending for the wrecks of the Carolingian Empire.<ref name=ngb>Template:Newgenbio</ref> Before his father died in 884 or 886, he is accredited the title of "count". He inherited from his father the titles of count and duke of Lucca and margrave of Tuscany.

Between 895 and 898, he married Bertha (c.863–8 March 925), the daughter of the Lothair II of Lotharingia and widow of the Count Theobald of Arles. Adalbert and Bertha had at least three children:

Guy, successor as count and duke of Lucca and margrave of Tuscany
Lambert, successor of his brother as count and duke of Lucca and margrave of Tuscany
Ermengard (died 29 February 932), married 915 Adalbert I of Ivrea

Adalbert II died on 10 or 15 September 915 and was buried in the cathedral of Lucca. His widow Bertha took over the regency for their young son Guy.
