Bertrada of Prüm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bertrada (b. ca. 670 -- d. after 721) is known to be the mother of Caribert of Laon, with whom she is co-founder and benefactor of the Prüm Abbey. They founded the abbey in 721.
Through Charibert's daughter Bertrada of Laon, wife of Pippin the Younger, Bertrada is the grandmother of Charlemagne.
There is some dispute as to her husband and parents. The following scenarios appear in the Wikipedia:
- She was daughter of the seneschal and Pfalzgraf Hugobert and Irmina of Oeren. Her husband is unknown.
- She was daughter of Theuderic III, king of Neustria and Austrasia, and Clotilda of Heristal. She married Martin of Laon.
