Einhard records that "Karolum filium suum [Karoli imperatoris]" invaded "terram Sclavorum…Sorabi" in 806 as far as "super Albium fluvium" and that "Miliduoch Sclavorum dux" was killed during the campaign[97]. At the partition agreed at Thionville in 806, Charles was designated sovereign of Francia (Austrasia and Neustria), northern Burgundy, northern Alemannia, Thuringia, Saxony, Frisia and the Bavarian Nordgau[98]. The Gesta Francorum records the death "811 II Non Dec" of "Karolus filius imperatoris qui maior natu erat"[99]. Einhard's Annales also record the death "811 II Non Dec" of "Karlus filius imperatoris qui maior natu erat"[100].

The betrothal of "Hruodrudem…quæ filiarum eius primogenita" with "Constantino, Græcorum imperatore" is recorded by Einhard[109]. Theophanes records that Empress Eirene sent ambassadors to "Carolum Francorum rege" to negotiate the betrothal of "filiæ eius Erythrus" and "filio suo Constantino", dated to 781, in a later passage recording that the empress terminating the treaty "cum Francis" (dated to 787)[110]. The Annales Fuldenses record the betrothal of "Hruodtrudis filia regis" and "Constantino imperator" in 787[111]. She was given the name ERYTHRO in Greek[112]. Her father kept her and her sisters at court refusing them permission to marry[113]. Her relationship with Rorico [I] is proved by the Annales Bertiniani which record the death "867 V Id Ian" of "Hludowicus abbas monasterii et nepos Karoli imperatoris ex filia maiori natu Rohtrude"[114], read together with an earlier part of the same source in which her son Louis is named "Ludowicum abbatem monasterii Sancti Dyonisii cum fratre ipsius Gauzleno"[115].

      I have not yet read Settipani (it is on order!). The above descent seems to
      follow in steps 2-5 (excluding Chlodosindis dau. of Sigebert) a
      reconstruction by K A Eckhardt [1]. Eckhardt (p.105) has Chrodoald
      (d.624/25) m. about 610 a name unknown dau. of Gisulf duke of the Lombards.
      He is tentative (and well he may be) in making Theodo II (d.716) the son of
      Fara (d.641). E Zoellner's very influential paper [2] addresses many of the
      central problems of his subject particularly the question of the origins of
      the Agilolfings and he has Eckhardt's hypothesis on this question in his
      sights. Zoellner (or Stoermer) may have done the article on the Agilolfinger
      in the rather more generally accessible *Lexikon des Mittelalters*.

      M Werner [3] discusses Regintrud at some length (pp.221-236 see also his
      chart at the end of the book). He considers the siblinghood of Adela of
      Pfalzel and Regintrud to be firm. He is more tentative in adopting the rest
      of Hlawitschka's well known articulation of the structure of the
      Hugobert/Irmina family [4] - in particular the claim that Hugobert and
      Irmina were parents of the two sisters Adela and Regintrud. He follows and
      develops (again tentatively) Jarnut's hypothesis that Regintrud married
      twice. Her first marriage was to a man unknown and by whom she had a
      daughter Piltrud (Bilitrud/Beletrud/Plektrud) who in turn married
      successively the brothers Theodold and Grimoald dukes of Bavaria. These two
      men are known sons of Theodo II. Another son of Theodo II (and his immediate
      successor) was Theodebert (d. by 717/18) duke of Bavaria. Theodebert was
      Regintrud's second husband by whom she had Hucbert and Guntrud and possibly
      a second son who is identified as Tassilo II. So Piltrud married her
      step-uncles. This hypothesis originally proposed by Jarnut [5] set out to
      explain the claim in the sources that Swanahild second wife of Charles
      Martel was the niece of Piltrud and of Odilo duke of Bavaria. According to
      the Jarnut/Werner hypothesis Swanahild was the daughter of Piltrud's
      half-brother (possibly Tassilo II) by a sister (possibly named 'Imma')
      sister of duke Odilo.

      While the Jarnut/Werner hypothesis rules out certain options when attempting
      to solve the problem of the origin of duke Odilo (and of his putative sister
      Imma), the hypothesis as such does not commit one to a particular answer.
      Jarnut (p.351) does think it probable that Odilo (and his unnamed sister)
      was son of duke Gotfrid of Alemannia. In this he agrees with Eckhardt. But B
      Behr [6] disagrees with them both.

      The last of the Agilolfing dukes of Bavaria, Tassilo III, was the son of
      duke Odilo by Hiltrud daughter of Charles Martel. This is not in dispute.

      The onomastic argument for the Jarnut/Werner genealogical hypothesis is
      interesting. Hucbert (d.735) has a variant of the name of Regintrud's
      probable father, Hugobert; and Guntrud (who married a Lombard king) has a
      variant of Regintrud's name (guntrud -> gerentrud -> regentrud). 'Piltrud'
      is a variant of 'plektrud' which was name of another of Regintrud's probable
      sisters (first wife of Pippin II).

      How is it that Odilo (d.about 748), if he was son of duke Gotfrid (d.709) of
      Alemannia (following Eckhardt and others), became duke of Bavaria? Eckhardt
      explains this by having a daughter of Theodo II (d.716) marry duke Gotfrid.
      This is not really plausible on chronological grounds. His onomastic
      argument is interesting but I think his onomastic points points may well
      invite an explanation of the relationship between Odilo and the previous
      dukes that did not rely on Odilo's mother being a daughter of Theodo II. On
      several reconstructions of the early Agilolfings, the succession of the
      duchy was shared by collateral branches of the family group (eg Eckhardt
      himself on p.105). An onomastic case could be made for the Alemannic family
      being a collateral branch of the (in the male/female line of the
      Agilolfings). Behr does not think there is any solid evidence that Odilo was
      son of Gotfrid (i.e. a member of the Alemannic ducal family). Zoellner
      (pp.103-106) canvasses the evidence and possible hypotheses regarding
      Odilo's origins.

      Now to Hildegard. What is known for certain is that she was the daughter of
      count Gerold by his wife Imma sister of Ruadpert and daughter of Nebi/Hnabi.
      In Thegan's "Vita" of Louis the Pious Nebi is made a son of Huoching son of
      Gotfrid. Behr accepts this as probable but not certain. There is some
      difficulty (noted by Eckhardt [7] p.62-64) with the name 'Huoching'.
      Strictly speaking, so goes his argument, 'Huoching' is not a personal name
      but a clan name like 'Agilolfing'. The personal name would be 'Hoc/Huoch'.
      Thegan or his source misread/misheard the original source and the line
      should have been reported thus: duke Gotfrid begat Nebi/Hnabi, Nebi
      Huoching begat Imma. On this account 'Huoching' properly refers to the clan
      name of the Alemannic ducal family. Thus according to Eckhardt Gotfrid would
      be g-grandfather of Hildegard instead of her g-g-grandfather.

      ES [8] XII:24 gives the certain information on Hildegard and relies heavily
      on Borgolte [9]. The latter points out (p.185) that The Nebi in question had
      interests in the middle Rhine region not in Alemannia (Swabia) and Borgolte
      follows T Mayer in rejecting a connection with the Alemannic ducal family,
      or at least considers it not proven. There was a Nebi who may have been
      connected with the ducal family and whose interests lay in Alemannia.
      Thegan's genealogy of Hildegard most likely confused the two.

      The claim that Hildegard has a descent from the Merovingians through the
      Agilolfings seems very weak. The claim that Hildegard descended from duke
      Gotfrid is is weak. It is almost certain that Regintrud was not a daughter
      of a Merovingian king but the daughter of Hugobert count of the palace and
      his wife Irmina of Oehren. It is also likely that she was not the wife of
      Theodo II but of his son Theodebert. The best chance for an Agilolfing
      descent rests on Alda/Aldana being the daughter of Charles Martel by the
      Agilolfing, Swanahild. For reasons recent postings to this group that chance
      is slim (following Hlawitschka I am agnostic on this filiation for
      Alda/Aldana). One should also note that K F Werner ([10] pp.161-166) thinks
      that an Agilolfing connection for Hildegard comes through her father,
      Gerold, but his argument has to do with name groups and not with precise
      filiations.

      Charlemagne, "when he was a young man, pledged himself in marriage to a girl of a most noble Swabian family, by the name of Hildegard, who was related to Godfrey, duke of the Alemanni. After the emperor married her, he fathered upon her three sons, of whom one was called by his father's name, Charles, the second, Pépin, who was king over Italy, the third was called Louis, who was king of Aquitaine."

      I "Genealogische Tabellen" av Johann Hübner kalles hun datter til hertug Childebrand i Schwaben og Brandenburg og barnebarn til den alemanniske hertug Gotfred. Det siste sier von Dunkern er feil i "Aus dem Blute Widukinds".

Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names her "Hildigardam quæ erat de cognatione Gotefridi ducis Alamannorum" and specifies that she was the daughter of Imma[67]. The Annales Laurissenses record the death "783 pridie Kal Mai" of "Hildegardis regina" and her burial "iuxta urbem Mettensem in basilica apostolorum et beati Arnulfi"[68]. She died from the after effects of childbirth, according to the epitaph of her daughter Hildegard[69]. Paulus Diaconus wrote an epitaph to "Hildegardis regina"[70].

He is named, and his parentage recorded, in the Gesta Mettensium, which specifies that he was his parents' first son[92]. The Chronicon Fontanellense records that Charles I King of the Franks proposed a marriage between “Offæ Rege Anglorum sive Merciorum…filiam” and “Carolus iunior”, but that King Offa refused unless “Berta filia Caroli Magni” was also married to his son which was unacceptable to the Frankish king[93]. King Charles ordered an embargo on trade imports from England as a result[94]. His father associated Charles in the government of Francia and Saxony in 790[95]. The Annales Laurissenses record that "rex Carolus" installed "primogenitum filium suum Carolum" in "ultra Sequaname…ducatum Cenomannicum" but that this reverted to his father in the summer of the same year[96]. From this time Charles used the title king, and was crowned King of the Franks at Rome 25 Dec 800. Einhard records that "Karolum filium suum [Karoli imperatoris]" invaded "terram Sclavorum…Sorabi" in 806 as far as "super Albium fluvium" and that "Miliduoch Sclavorum dux" was killed during the campaign[97]. At the partition agreed at Thionville in 806, Charles was designated sovereign of Francia (Austrasia and Neustria), northern Burgundy, northern Alemannia, Thuringia, Saxony, Frisia and the Bavarian Nordgau[98]. The Gesta Francorum records the death "811 II Non Dec" of "Karolus filius imperatoris qui maior natu erat"[99].

This is nowhere near Serbia. My guess is that the original note taker mistook Swabia for Serbia. Anglachgau was located within the historic region of Swabia.)

    • Hildegarde a 13 ans lorsque Charlemagne la remarque. Née en 757, elle est la fille de Gérold Ier comte de Vintzgau et d’Emma d’Alémanie. Parmi ses ancêtres, elle compte un roi Mérovingien : Thierry III. En 772, Charlemagne épouse la jolie Hildegarde à Aix-la-Chapelle. Aimée par son époux et très féconde, Hildegarde met au monde de nombreux enfants dont des jumeaux :
      - Charles (772-811)
      - Adélaïde (773-774)
      - Rotrude (775-810)
      - Pépin (777-810)
      - Louis Ier (778-840) et Lothaire (778-779)
      - Berthe (779-823)
      - Gisèle (781-814)
      - Hildegarde (782-783)

      Epuisée par ses grossesses –surtout par celle des jumeaux Louis et Lothaire suite à laquelle elle a failli mourir durant l'accouchement- la reine ne se remet pas de son dernier accouchement et décède prématurément à Thionville le 26 avril 783 à l’âge de 26 ans. Charlemagne pleurera sincèrement cette épouse ainsi que le peuple car Hildegarde passe pour être une bonne reine.

    • Hildegard, wife of Charlemagne
      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      [edit] Marriage and issue
      Hildegard was the second wife of Charlemagne[1], who married her about 771. They had the following children:

      Charles, (772 or 773-811), Count of Maine from 781, joint King of the Franks with Charlemagne from 800
      Adelaide (773-773 or 774-774)
      Pippin (773 or 777-810), born Carloman and later renamed at baptism, king of Italy from 781
      Rotrude (or Hruodrud) (777-810)
      Louis the Pious, king of Aquitaine from 781, emperor from 813 (sole Emperor from 814) until 840
      Lothair, twin brother of Louis, died young in 780
      Bertha (779-823?)
      Gisela (781-808?)

      Preceded by
      Desiderata and Gerberge Queen of the Franks
      c. 771–774 Succeeded by
      Fastrada

      ^ As described by historians such as Pierre Riché (The Carolingians, p.86.), Lewis Thorpe (Two Lives of Charlemagne, p.216) and others. Other historians list Himiltrude, described by Einhard as a concubine, as Charlemagne's first wife, and reorder his subsequent wives; accordingly Hildegard is sometimes numbered as his third wife.

      Himiltrude was born on 742 in Aachen, Rhineland, Germany. Himiltrude was Charlemagne's first wife. She bore him one son, Pippin the Hunchback. The nature of their marriage was hardly the same sort of relationship as we would today define a marital union. Pope Stephen recognized their "marriage" and their son was considered the legitimate and first heir to the Frankish kingdom. Not long after his son's birth however, political reasons convinced Charles to "divorce" Himiltrude and replace her with an unnamed Lombard princess. Afterwards Himiltrude receded into the dark pages of history and is no longer mentioned, probably dying early. As the church tightened its grasp on Europeans' social lives and the rules of morality began to change the marriage between Charlemagne and Himiltrude became null and void. Outside pressures from the papacy and his third wife eventually persuaded Charles to replace his first born with children from another marriage and Pippin the Hunchback was superseded by his younger half-brothers. Himiltrude died in Rome, Italy.
