Does anyone know anything about this Mellobaude descent?

To me it looks quite dubious, especially

Cloderic of Cologne (477 -509) married Parricide

The thing is tht Cloderic murdered his father and hence can be surnamed "Parricida" (Father-killer). It doubt it very much, that he had married a woman of that name, even if a woman of such a name would have existed (which is more than doubtful).

I agree. One presumes that Parricide's father would have stepped in at some point during the naming process. When you add the unlikelihood that a woman with such an unfortunate name should marry a man who had killed his father (the irony would be a bit too great, I think), it makes the assertion unbelievable. Unless some pretty fine substantiating evidence appears in the next few days, I think removing the list is a reasonable response. Jwrosenzweig 08:27, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Before his consecration?

I believe he was married while bishop. That was then legal, I think. Can anybody confirm this? If so, when were the children born? Srnec 02:58, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
