CHARLES “Martel”, son of PEPIN [II] "le Gros" or "d'Herstal" & his second [wife] Chalpais [Alpais] ([690]-Quierzy-sur-Oise, Aisne 16 or 22 Oct 741, bur église de l'abbaye royale de Saint Denis).
The Chronicon Moissiacense names "Karolum" as son of "Pippinus præfatus princeps…ex alia uxore nomine Alpaigde"[151].
He was imprisoned by his father's first wife after his father died[152]. However, the Neustrians revolted against Plectrudis, Charles escaped, was at first defeated by the Neustrians, but won the battle of Amblève, near Liège, in 716. He was victorious at Vinchy, near Cambrai, 28 May 717 after which Chilperic II King of Neustria fled with his maior domus, leaving Charles unchallenged to succeed as maior domus in Austrasia.
"Karolus" donated his part in "villa Bollane" to "monasterium Efternacum" by charter dated dated 23 Feb 717, which names "genitore meo Pippino"[153].
He conquered the Saxons in 718 and the Frisians in 719 when he captured Utrecht. He conquered the Neustrians, together with their ally Eudes Duke of Aquitaine, in 719.
He released and recognised King Chilperic II, becoming maior domus in Neustria.
"Theudericus rex Francorum" confirmed a donation to the abbey of St Denis on the request of "Carlo maiorem domus nostro" by charter dated 1 Mar 723[154].
He defeated the Muslim invaders, under Abd-al-Rahman bin Abd Allah al-Ghafiqi [Governor of Andalucía], at Moussais near Poitiers 25 Oct 732. The dating of the various Muslim incursions in southern France in the 720s/730s is discussed in the Histoire Générale de Languedoc[155].
He extended his authority to other French provinces: Hunald Duke of the Aquitanians swore allegiance to him in 736, he subjugated Burgundy and Provence in 736-738. In 737, he omitted to nominate a successor on the death of King Theoderic IV, signalling the effective end of the Merovingian monarchy.
The Annales Sancti Amandi record the death "741 Id Oct" of "Karolus dux Francorum"[156]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XVII Kal Nov" of "Karolus princeps"[157]. The Continuator of Fredegar records the same date for his death and his burial place[158].
m firstly CHROTHRUDIS, daughter of --- ([690]-[724/25]).
The Annales Laureshamenses record the death in 724 of "Hortrudis"[159]. The Annales Mosellani record the death in 725 of "Chrothrud"[160].
Settipani quotes a name list in the Liber confraternitatum augiensis which reads in part "Karolus maior domus, Pippin rex…Karolus imperator…Ruadtrud, Ruadheid, Svanahild regina, Bertha regina, Hiltikart regina, Fastrat regina, Liutkart regina…"[161]. He makes the obvious links between "Karolus maior domus…Svanahild regina", "Pippin rex…Bertha regina" and "Karolus imperator…Hiltikart regina, Fastrat regina, Liutkart regina", deducing that "Ruadtrud, Ruadheid" must also be linked logically to "Karolus maior domus" because of the order in which the names are listed. The primary source which specifically names the first wife of Charles "Martel" has not been identified.
m secondly (725) SUANACHILDIS [Suanhilde], niece of ODILO Duke of Bavaria, daughter of --- (-after 17 Sep 741).
The precise parentage of Suanachildis is not known. The Continuator of Fredegar records that "matrona quondam…Beletrude et nepta sua Sunnichilde" were captured and taken to Austrasia by Charles "Martel" in [724/25][162]. Einhard names "Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum" as the mother of Grifo[163]. The precise relationship between Suanhilde and Pilitrude, who was the wife in turn of the brothers Grimoald and Theodoald, has not been identified.
She instigated the marriage of her stepdaughter to Odilo Duke of Bavaria according to the Continuator of Fredegar[164].
After the death of her husband, she incited her son to rebel against her stepsons. She was defeated and sent to the monastery of Chelles, Seine-et-Marne. "Karlus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "villa Clippiacum in pago Parisiaco" to the abbey of St Denis by charter dated 17 Sep 741, subscribed by "Radberti comitis, Raygaubaldi comitis, Salaconis comitis, matrone Sonechildis, Grifonis filii sui"[165].
---
Mistress (1): CHROTHAIS, daughter of ---.
Settipani quotes a name list in the Liber confraternitatum augiensis, quoted above under Chrothrudis first wife of Charles "Martel", concluding that "Ruadtrud, Ruadheid" must be linked logically to "Karolus maior domus" because of the order in which the names are listed[166].
---
Mistress (2): ---.
The name of the second mistress of Charles "Martel" is not known.
Charles "Martel" & his first wife had three children:
1. CARLOMAN ([705/10]-4 Dec 754, bur Vienne, Isère).
Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death[167]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[168]. "Karlomanni filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 1 Jan 722 under which "Karolus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "castrum…Fethna sitam in pago Nifterlaco" to the monastery "infra muros Traiecto castro"[169].
He succeeded his father as maior domus, jointly with his brother Pepin. They deprived their half-brother Grifo of his inheritance, and defeated him after he rebelled against them. In the division of territories agreed with his brother, Carloman governed Austrasia, Alemannia, Thuringia and northern Alsace. The brothers were faced with revolts in Frisia, Bavaria, Alemannia and Aquitaine.
As a symbolic assertion of their authority, they nominated Childeric III as [Merovingian] king in 743. Einhard records that "Karlomannus" was in Saxony at "castrum Hohseoburg" and there accepted the surrender of "Theodericum Saxonem illius loci primarium" in 743[170]. "Childerichus rex Francorum" with "Karolomanno maiores domus, rectori palatio nostro" confirmed donations to the monastery of Stablo and Malmedy by charter dated Jul 744[171].
In 745, Carloman's brother Pepin appropriated the province of Alemannia for himself. Carloman reasserted his authority with an expedition against the Alemans in 746, massacring the leaders who had betrayed him to his brother. This triggered the defection of his other supporters, and Carloman relinquished power.
The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records that “Carlomannus frater Pippini junioris” became a monk in 745 and that “Pippinus junior parvus frater eius” obtained the whole of “Principatum Francorum”[172].
The Royal Frankish Annals record that, after 15 Aug 747, he left for Rome, where he built the monastery of St Sylvester on Monte Soracte before moving to the monastery of St Benedict at Monte Cassino where he became a monk[173]. He returned to France in 753 to oppose the request by Pope Stephen III (II) for Frankish help against the Lombards[174].
The Annales Moselleni record the death in 754 of "Karlamannus"[175].
m ---. The name of Carloman's wife is not known.
Carloman & his wife had [three or more] children (including Drogo 730/35 - after 753).
2. PEPIN [III] (715-Saint-Denis 24 Sep 768, bur église de l'abbaye royale de Saint Denis).
Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death[178]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[179].
He succeeded his father as maior domus jointly with his brother Carloman. He succeeded in 751 as PEPIN “le Bref” King of the Franks.
3. CHILTRUDIS [Hiltrude] (-754, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach).
The Continuator of Fredegar names "Chiltrudis" as daughter of Charles "Martel", stating that her "wicked stepmother" incited her to joined Odilo of Bavaria whom she married without the permission of her brothers[180].
After the death of her husband, she was regent in Bavaria for her son Duke Tassilo III. The Annales Moselleni record the death in 754 of "Hildtrud"[181].
m (741) ODILO Duke of Bavaria [Agilolfinger], son of --- (-18 Jan 748, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach). His brother-in-law Carloman invaded Bavaria, and Odilo was forced to recognise Frankish suzerainty in 744.
Charles "Martel" & his [first/second wife/mistress] had two possible children:
4. [LANDRADA .
Settipani quotes an Aquitaine necrology which lists "Willelmus…pater eius Theodericus, mater Aldana soror Hiltrudis et Landradæ"[182]. He suggests that "Hiltrudis" was the wife of Odilo Duke of Bavaria, and therefore that all three sisters were daughters of Charles "Martel". The theory is attractive but not conclusive, as its validity depends on there being no other contemporary Hiltrudis, which is not provable. If it is correct, there is no indication about the mother of Landrada and Aldana.
Hlawitschka highlights the case against the affiliation[183]. However, the evidence of the 25 May 765 charter, quoted below, suggests that Settipani´s hypothesis may be correct.]
same person as …? LANDRADA . The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensis names "Chrodegangus antistes…ex pago Hasbaniensi oriundus, patre Sigramno, matre Landrada, Francorum ex genere primæ nobilitatis progenitus" as Bishop of Metz[184]. The co-identity between Landrada, wife of Sigramnus, and Landrada, supposed daughter of Charles "Martel" is suggested by the charter dated 25 May 765 under which "Grodegangus…archiepiscopus" [son of Sigramnus and Landrada] donated property "in pago Wormacensi…[et] in villa Dagosbesher…in Hostoven, Burdus, in villa Flamersheim ecclesiam" to Gorze, with the consent of "Pipini…Francorum regis, avunculi mei"[185].
m SIGRAMNUS, son of ---.
5. [ALDANA .
Settipani quotes an Aquitaine necrology which lists "Willelmus…pater eius Theodericus, mater Aldana soror Hiltrudis et Landradæ"[186]. He suggests that "Hiltrudis" was the wife of Odilo Duke of Bavaria, and therefore that all three sisters were daughters of Charles "Martel". The theory is attractive but not conclusive, as its validity depends on there being no other contemporary Hiltrudis, which is not provable. If it is correct, there is no indication about the mother of Landrada and Aldana.
Hlawitschka highlights the case against the affiliation[187]. However, the evidence of the 25 May 765 charter, quoted above under Aldana´s supposed sister Landrada, suggests that Settipani´s hypothesis may be correct.
In addition, Einhard indicates that Theoderic [I] was related to Charles I King of the Franks when he records that in 782 King Charles sent his three missi "Adalgiso camerario et Geilone comite stabuli et Worado comite palati" to meet "in…Saxonis…Theodericus comes, propinquus regis"[188]. One possible relationship being between the king and Theoderic [I] would have been through his wife, if she had been the king's paternal aunt.
"Willelmus…comes" names "genitore meo Theuderico et genitrice mea Aldana" in his charter dated 14 Dec 804 (version two: dated 15 Dec 804) for the foundation of the monastery of Gellone[189].
m THEODERIC [I] Comte d'Autun, son of --- (-before 804).]
Charles "Martel" & his second wife had one child:
6. GRIFO ([726]-killed in battle Saint Jean de Maurienne 753).
Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death, specifying that "Grifo…minor natu…matrem habuit Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum"[190]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[191]. "Karlus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "villa Clippiacum in pago Parisiaco" to the abbey of Saint-Denis by charter dated 17 Sep 741, subscribed by "Radberti comitis, Raygaubaldi comitis, Salaconis comitis, matrone Sonechildis, Grifonis filii sui"[192].
His father bequeathed to Grifo the central part of his territory, but his stepbrothers Carloman and Pepin deprived him of this inheritance and split the land between themselves. Grifo rebelled, incited by his mother, but was defeated at Laon and imprisoned by Carloman at Neufchâteau in the Ardennes[193].
He was released in 747 by his brother Pepin and fled to Saxony, where he raised an army although armed conflict was avoided[194]. He invaded Bavaria where he was recognised as Duke in 748 in succession to Duke Odilo, but was deposed by Pepin who installed their nephew Tassilo III as duke.
According to the Royal Frankish Annals, in 748 Pepin granted Grifo the duchy of Mans and 12 counties in Neustria, although the source does not identify these counties more precisely[195]. The Continuator of Fredegar records that in 748 "germanus ipsius rege…Gripho" fled once more and allied himself with Waifar Duke of the Aquitanians[196]. Grifo rebelled yet again, in alliance with the Bretons.
He fled to Lombardy to join Aistulf King of the Lombards but was caught and killed while he was passing the Alps by "Theudoeno comite Viennense…et Frederico Ultraiurano comite"[197], two of Pepin's supporters. His escape to Italy, capture and death at the hands of "Theodoino comite in valle Maurienna" is also recorded in the Annales Laurissenses[198].
m ---. The name of Grifo's wife is not known.
Grifo & his wife had [two possible] children: Grifo and Charles.
Charles "Martel" had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1):
---
7. BERNARD (before 732-787).
The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" as sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[201].
Comte.

Charles "Martel" had two illegitimate sons by Mistress (2):
8. HIERONYMUS (-after [782]).
The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Remigium et Geronimum" as sons of "Karolus senior…ex concubina"[202]. Comte. Abbé de Saint-Quentin.
9. REMIGIUS (-787).
The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Remigium et Geronimum" as sons of "Karolus senior…ex concubina"[203]. Bishop of Rouen 755-771. The Annales Moselleni record the death in 787 of "Remigius et Bernehardus"[204].

BERNARD, illegitimate son of CHARLES "Martel" & his mistress Chrothais (before 732-787).
The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" as sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[10]. Bernard's relationship to the Carolingian kings is confirmed by Einhard's Annales which name "Walanem filium Bernhardi patruelis sui" when recording that he was sent to Italy in 812 as guardian for "Bernhardum filium Pippin nepotem suum [Karoli imperatoris]"[11].
Charles I King of the Franks sent Bernard as head of part of his army to Italy, through the Great St Bernard Pass, in response to the Pope's call for help against the Lombards in 773[12]. The Chronicon Moissiacensis records that “Bernardum avunculum suum” (referring to King Charles) led part of the army “per Jovis-montem in Italia”, in 770 but dated to 773[13].
The Annales Moselleni record the death in 787 of "Remigius et Bernehardus"[14].
m firstly ---. Settipani states that the first wife of Bernard was of Frankish origin but does not cite the source on which this is based[15].
m secondly ---. Settipani states that the second wife of Bernard was of Saxon origin but does not cite the source on which this is based[16].
Bernard & his first wife had one child:
1. ADALHARD [I] ([752]-2 Jan 826).
The Vita Adalhardi refers to "quinque…viri propagati…maior natu senex noster sanctissimus", referring to Adalhard, recording in an earlier passage that he entered holy orders at the age of 20[17]. Although the passage does not name Adalhard's father, it names his younger brother "Wala" whose father is named in Einhard's Annales which record "Walach comes filius Bernhardi"[18].
The Annales Laurissenses record that King Charles came to "Corbonaeum villam" in 771 with "Wilcharius archiepiscopus et Folradus capellanus…Warinus et Adalhardus comites"[19]. Although it is not certain that this "Adalhardus" was the son of Bernard or a different person, no reference to another contemporary of the same name has so far been found.
Abbé de Corbie 781.
A Capitulum of Charles I King of the Franks dated Jun 800 names "Adalardo comiti palatio nostri"[20]. "Comiti Hadalhardus, Fulradus, Unrocus seu Hrocculfus" are named as imperial missi in a document of Emperor Charlemagne dated 806[21].
Adalhard was tutor of Pepin King of Italy, son of Charlemagne, and was appointed regent for Pepin's son Bernard King of Italy in 813[22].
He was exiled to Noirmoutier after the death of Charlemagne in 814, but returned to favour in 821.
Einhard's Annales record that "Adalhardum quoque de Aquitania" was appointed "Corbeiæ monasterio abbatem" in 821[23]. The primary source which records the date of death of Adalhard has not so far been identified.
Bernard & his second wife had [five] children:
2. WALO [Walacho] ([772/73]-Bobbio 31 Aug 836).
Einhard's Annales record "Walach comes filius Bernhardi" as one of the signatories of peace with the Vikings in 811[24]. The Vita Adalhardi refers to "quinque…viri propagati…maior natu senex noster sanctissimus…", referring to Adalhard, "…deinde Wala…"[25].
There does not appear to be any direct proof that Walo was born from his father's second marriage, other than the indirect indication from the 20 year difference between the estimated birth dates of Walo and Adalhard [I].
A list of Saxons in Ostphalia dated Jan/Feb 802 records that "Fredegarium filium Wicharii habuit Walah", presumably indicating that the last named had responsibility for the allegiance sworn to the emperor by the first-named[26]. Assuming that this refers to Walo son of Bernard, it shows that he bore the title count only after this date, as the source specifies the titles in the case of many other individuals named. The Translatio Sancti Viti names "Walonem" as "frater prioris Adalhardi"[27].
Governor of Saxony.
Einhard names "Walacho comes" as one of the 15 witnesses of the testament of Emperor Charlemagne dated 811[28]. Einhard's Annales record that "Walanem filium Bernhardi patruelis sui" was sent to Italy in 812 as guardian for "Bernhardum filium Pippin nepotem suum [Karoli imperatoris]"[29]. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Walam et Warnarium, necnon et Lambertum sed et Ingobertum" as missi [in 813], recording that "Warnarius comes…accito nepote Lantberto" acted without the knowledge of "Wala et Ingelberto"[30].
Walo became a monk in [814/15] following the death of Emperor Charlemagne. Einhard's Annales record that Emperor Louis I sent "Walahum monachum propinquum suum [imperatoris] fratrem…Adalhardi abbatis" to Italy in 822 with "Hlotharius…filium suum"[31].
Abbé de Corbie 826-836, in succession to his brother.
He became Abbot of Bobbio in Italy in 836. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Wala Corbeiensis abbas, Matfridus, Hugo, Lantbertus, Godefridus, itemque filius eius Godefridus, Agimbertus comes Pertensis…sed et Richardus" died between "Kal Sep usque ad missam sancti Martini" [in 836][32].
m ---. No explicit reference to the wife of Walo has so far been found in primary sources. However, the Vita Wala names "sceleratus Naso…Amisarius" when recording Walo's exploits in Spain, states that Walo married "sororem ipsius, filiam nobilissimi viri…", and that her brother was blinded[33].
Settipani cites sources which, from these references, identify Walo's wife as the sister of Bernard Marquis de Septimanie and Heribert (who was blinded), and therefore daughter of St Guillaume Comte de Toulouse. Assuming that this identification is correct, of the possible candidates Settipani eliminates Helmburgis from the known daughters of Guillaume, suggesting that she died young, as well as Gerberga, who was murdered in 834 at Chalon by allies of Walo, which leaves Chrodlindis [Rothlindis], daughter of [St] Guillaume Comte de Toulouse, as the only possibility[34]. The link is credible but is not without doubt, particularly because of the uncertainties about the parentage of Heribert which are discussed below.
Walo & his wife had one child, Bertrudis.
3. GUNDRADA .
The Vita Adalhardi names "quibus…soror [eius] Gundrada", this text following the paragraph which records "quinque…viri propagati…"[36].
According to Settipani, Gundrada became a nun in 814 but he does not cite the primary source on which this is based[37].
4. BERNHAR ([776]-after 821).
Bernhar is named as brother of Adalhard in the Royal Frankish Annals[38]. The Vita Adalhardi refers to "reliqui…duo…Bernarius noster…et Theodrada soror eius", this text following the paragraph which records "quinque…viri propagati…"[39].
Monk at Corbie 801.
He lived in exile with his brother Walo in 821, but was recalled and restored to Corbie[40]. Einhard's Annales record that "Adalhardum quoque de Aquitania" was appointed "Corbeiæ monasterio abbatem" in 821 and that "Bernharium frater eius" returned to the monastery at the same time[41].
5. THEODERADA .
The De Sancto Ratberto Abbate Corbeiensi names "Thedradam apud Sanctam Mariam Suessionis abbatissam…Adalardi et Wale sororem"[42]. The Vita Adalhardi names "Bernarius…et Theodrada soror eius", this text following the paragraph which records "quinque…viri propagate…"[43].
According to Settipani, Theodrada became a nun in 814 but he does not cite the primary source on which this is based[44].
Abbess of Sainte-Marie de Soissons.
m ---. The name of Theodrada's husband is not known.
6. [IDA .
The Vita Sancti Idæ names Ida as only daughter of an unnamed count[46], the Introduction to the MGH SS edition citing "annalibus Corbeiensibus in bibliotheca Regia" which name Ida as "Adalhard et Walæ soror, uxor Egberti quem Brunonis Angrariorum principis filium fuisse", commenting that she died aged 100[47].
She is not named as the sister of Adalhard in the Vita Adalhardi.

From the Wikipedia page of Bernard, son of Charles Martel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard,_son_of_Charles_Martel
Bernard or Bernhard (born c. 720) was a son of Charles Martel by his mistress Ruodhaid. He is an obscure figure, rising out of the mists only to lead half of the Frankish army in his nephew Charlemagne's Lombard campaign. While Charlemagne led his contingent through the pass of Moncenisio, Bernard led his through the Great St. Bernard Pass.
He is known to have had two sons of both disgrace and prominence in the reign of Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious:
1. Adalard, disgraced and then became a steward of Louis the Pious
2. Wala (d. 835), disgraced and then became the chief advisor of Lothair I in his rebellions
3. Ingeltrude, a daughter who was the mistress of King Pippin of Italy and by whom she had King Bernard of Italy.
From the French Wikipedia page on Bernard:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_(fils_de_Charles_Martel)
Bernard ou Bernhard († 787) est un comte carolingien (Comte de Saint-Quentin), fils de Charles Martel, maire du palais d'Austrasie, de Neustrie et de Bourgogne, et de Chrotais.
En 774, à la demande du pape Adrien Ier, il est envoyé par Charlemagne à la tête d'une armée pour combattre les Lombards. Selon les Annales Mosellani, il meurt en 787 [1].
Avec une première épouse d'origine franque dont on ne connait pas le nom, il a un fils [2] :
1. Adalard (v. 752 † 2 janvier 826), missus dominicus, comte du palais de Charlemagne et abbé de Corbie.
Avec une seconde épouse d'origine saxonne, il a quatre enfants [2] :
1. Wala (v. 772 † 31 août 836), abbé de Corbie
2. Gundrade († ap.814), vierge et religieuse
3. Bernard (v. 776 † ap.821), moine à l'abbaye de Corbie en 801.
4. Théodrada, abbesse de Saint-Marie de Soissons après avoir été mariée et mère d'une fille, Imme, qui lui a ensuite succédé comme abbesse.

1. Adalard (c.752 - 2 January 826), Dominicus Missus, Comte of the Palace of Charlemagne and Abbot of Corbie.
With his second wife, of Saxon origin, he had four children [2]:
1. Wala (c.772 - 31 August 836), Abbot of Corbie
2. Gundrade (d. 814), a "virgin nun"
3. Bernard (c.776-821), a monk at the Corbie Monastery as of 801.
4. Theodrada, married unknown and with a daughter, Imme, and then later succeeded as Abbess of Saint-Marie de Soissons

From the Italian Wikipedia page for Bernardo:
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardo_(figlio_di_Carlo_Martello)
Bernardo (n. 720 circa) fu un figlio di Carlo Martello e dell'amante Ruodaide.
Egli è una figura oscura, che si distinse per aver guidato metà dell'esercito franco nella campagna longobarda del nipote Carlo Magno; mentre quest'ultimo guidava il suo contingente attraverso il passo del Moncenisio, Bernardo condusse il suo attraverso il Gran San Bernardo.
Egli è ricordato per aver avuto due figli che conobbero la disgrazia, ma anche grande importanza nel regno di Ludovico il Pio, figlio di Carlo Magno:
1. Sant'Adelardo, caduto in disgrazia ed in seguito divenuto maggiordomo di Ludovico il Pio;
2. Wala (m. 835), anch'esso finito in disgrazia e poi divenuto principale consigliere dell'imperatore Lotario I nelle sue ribellioni;
3. Ingeltrude, che fu l'amante di re Pipino d'Italia, dal quale ebbe re Bernardo d'Italia.

32 Chrodtrud - (Ruodhaid)
Chrodtrud wird in keiner erzählenden Quelle und in keiner Urkunde ausdrücklich als Gemahlin Karl Martells erwähnt. Da jedoch in der Gruppe der älteren karolingischen Annalen (Ann. Moselani, Ann. Laureshamenses, Ann. Petaviani, Ann. Nazariani), die dem KAROLINGER-Hause bekanntlich sehr nahe stehen, zu 725 Chrothrud mortua bzw. Hrottrudis mortua bzw. Chrotrudis mortitur überliefert wird (MG. SS. 16, Seite 494, MG. SS. 1, Seite 24, 9, 25) und andererseits Karl Martell gerade im nämlichen Jahr 725 von einem Feldzug nach Bayern Swanahild mitbringt, die er dann zur Gemahlin nimmt, hat man seit A. Valesius (1638) und J. Mabillon (1703) geschlossen, daß diese Chrodtrud Karl Martells erste Gemahlin gewesen sein müsse; vgl. H. Hahn, Jahrbücher des Fränkischen Reiches 741-752, Berlin 1863, Seite 1f., und Th. Breysig, Jahrbücher (wie in Nr. 18), Seite 9. Hahn hat außerdem zur Stützung dieser These auf die Wiederholung des Namens Chrodtrud bei einer Tochter KARLS DES GROSSEN hingewiesen.
Alle Zweifel werden meines Erachtens durch einen Eintrag ins Reichenauer Verbrüderungsbuch beseitigt. Dort findet man an der Spitze der Nomina defunctorum, qui presens coenobium sua largitate fundaverunt, die folgenden Namen: Karolus maior domus - Pippin rex - Karlomannus maior domus - Karolus imperator - Karlomannus - Karolus rex - Pippinus rex - Bernardus rex - Ruadtraud - Ruadheid - Suanahil regina - Berhta regina - Hiltikart regina - Fastrat regina - Liutkart regina - Ruadheid (danach Rasur) - Hirminkar regina; MG. Libri confrat., Seite 292, Spalte 460.
Hier handelt es ganz augenscheinlich um Karl Martell, König Pippin, dann dessen älteren Bruder Karlmann, schließlich um KARL DEN GROSSEN und seinen Bruder Karlmann, um KARLS DES GROSSEN Söhne Karl und Pippin sowie KARLS Enkel Bernhard von Italien. Die Frauenreihe ist nach Suanahil regina (!), der zweiten Gemahlin Karl Martells, auch übersichtlich. Es handelt sich um Gemahlinnen einiger der oben angeführten Männer, und zwar um Swanahild (die freilich niemals echte regina war) als zweiter Gemahlin Karl Martells, Berta als Gemahlin König Pippins, Hildegard, Fastrada und Liutgart als Gemahlinnen KARLS DES GROSSEN, Irmingard, die 818 verstorbene Gemahlin des zur Anfertigung des Eintrages noch lebenden LUDWIGS DES FROMMEN, und bei Ruadheid, nach deren Namen man das gleichfalls eingetragene regina wieder tilgte, wohl um die gleichnamige Schwester oder Tochter KARLS DES GROSSEN (nach L. Levllain, La charte de Clotilde [Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Chartes 105, 1944], Seite 48-63, um die Gemahlin Pippins von Italien; mit der Annahme, daß diese Zusammenstellung von Abt Adalhard von Corbie (Nr. 51) verfertigt sei, geht er jedoch bei seinem Deutungsversuch jedoch von falschen Voraussetzungen aus, wodurch gerade jene Zuweisung hinfällig wird). Da somit in der Liste auch eine generationsmäßige Abfolge eingehalten zu sein scheint, kann die an der Spitze der Frauen stehende Ruadtrud nur mit dem an der Spitze der Männer stehenden Karl Martell in Verbindung gebracht und als Karl Martells erste Gemahlin betrachtet werden. Zumal nun außerdem feststeht, daß Karl Martells Söhne Bernhard, Hieronymus und Remedius/Remigius weder Vollgeschwister Karlmanns und König Pippins (Nr. 45 und 48) noch Vollgeschwister Grifos (Nr 41) waren, Karl Martell also neben der hiermit gesicherten Chrodtrud und neben Swanahild noch eine Nebenfrau gehabt haben muß, wird man nicht fehlgehen, wenn man jene in der an zweiter Stelle unter den Frauender Reichenauer Liste stehenden Ruadheid zu erkennen meint. Dabei darf man darauf verweisen, daß dann der Name Ruadheid auch bei einer Schwester KARLS DES GROSSEN (Nr. 60) sowie bei einer Tochter KARLS DES GROSSEN (Einhard, Vita Karoli c.18) wieder auftaucht. - Auf Chrodtruds Abstammung könnte etwas Licht fallen, wenn man jenen propinquus Karl Martells namens Wido, der Laienabt von St. Wandrille war und 739 wegen Hochverratsabsichten hingerichtet wurde (Gesta abb. Fontanell. c. 11, MG. SS. 2, Seite 284f.), als einen nahen Verwandten Chrodtruds oder mit A. Halbedel, Fränkische Studien (wie in Nr. 4), Seite 29 Anmerkung, gar als Schwager Karl Martells ansehen und H. Schreibmüller, 'Die Ahnen Kaiser Konrads II. (Herbipolis jubilans, Würzburg 1952), Seite 201, jenen wiederum in das bekannte Geschlecht der WIDONEN einordnen dürfte. Sichere Anhaltspunkte hierfür liegen jedoch keineswegs vor.

Regarding the immediate family of Count Bernard:
Wala was born as a son of a Saxon woman and Count Bernard who was a brother of Pepin the Third and a natural son of Charles Martel. Wala was the first cousin of Charlemagne and a half brother of Adalard the Younger, who served as abbot of Corbie until 826. Wala also had a full brother named Bernarius, and two sisters Gundrada and Theodrada, abbess of Notre-Dame de Soissons. In Wala’s early years, he had been brought up in the school of the royal Palace with his brother Adalard the Younger. At Court, both Wala and his brother Adalard were known as being honest, honorable and zealous. As a youth, Wala incurred the temporary disapproval of his cousin Charles. In 792, it has been supposed that he was in some way involved with the conspiracy of Charles son’, Pepin the hunchback. As a result, he was banned from court and forced to live under the close watch of some of the loyal magnates. During this time, it is presumed that he married daughter of William, count of Toulouse, Rothlindis, and Wala became a brother in-law of Bernard of Barcelona. He was widowed before he became a monk in 814. In his early years, Wala regained royal favor. During Charlemagne’s rule, he rose to become the Emperor’s second-in-command. Charlemagne appears to have appointed his cousin Wala to oversee administration on Saxony, just as he had elevated his brother in law Gerold in Bavaria. During his rule Charlemagne appears to have relied confidently on his capable cousins, including Adalard, Bernarius and Wala.

De Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis navn (i rekkefølge) " Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum " som sønner av " Karolus senior ... ex regina " [10] . Bernards forhold til de karolingiske kongene bekreftes av Einhards Annales som heter " Walanem filium Bernhardi patruelis sui " da han registrerte at han ble sendt til Italia i 812 som verge for " Bernhardum filium Pippin nepotem suum [Karoli imperatoris] " [11] . Royal Frankish Annals registrerer detCharles I, kongen av frankerne, sendte Bernard for å lede en del av sin hær til Italia, gjennom Great St Bernard Pass, som svar på pavens oppfordring om hjelp mot lombardene i 773 [12] . Den Chronicon Moissiacensis registrerer at “ Bernardum avunculum suum ” (henviser til King Charles) ledet en del av hæren “ per Jovis-montem i Italia ”, i 770, men datert til 773 [13] . Den Annales Moselleni registrere død i 787 av " Remigius et Bernehardus " [14] .
m for det første ---. Settipani uttaler at den første kona til Bernard var av frankisk opprinnelse, men siterer ikke kilden som dette er basert på [15] .
m for det andre ---. Settipani uttaler at den andre kona til Bernard var av saksisk opprinnelse, men siterer ikke kilden som dette er basert på [16] .
Bernard og hans første kone hadde ett barn:
1. ADALHARD [I] ([752] -2 jan 826). Den Vita Adalhardi refererer til " Quinque ... Viri propagati ... maior nat Senex noster sanctissimus ", med henvisning til Adalhard, innspilling i en tidligere passasje at han gikk hellige ordrer i en alder av 20 [17] . Selv om passasjen ikke navngir faren til Adalhard, navngir den hans yngre bror " Wala ", hvis far er navngitt i Einhards Annales som registrerer " Walach come filius Bernhardi " [18] . Den Annales Laurissenses posten at kong Charles kom til " Corbonaeum villam " i 771 med ". Selv om det ikke er sikkert at denne " Adalhardus " var sønn av Bernard eller en annen person, er det hittil ikke funnet noen henvisning til en annen samtid med samme navn. Abbé de Corbie 781. En hovedstad av Karl I, Frankrikes konge, daterte juni 800 navn " Adalardo comiti palatio nostri " [20] . " Comiti Hadalhardus, Fulradus, Unrocus seu Hrocculfus " er navngitt som imperial missi i et dokument av keiser Karlemagne datert 806 [21] . Adalhard var lærer for Pepin King of Italy, sønn av Charlemagne, og ble utnevnt til regent for Pepins sønn Bernard King of Italy i 813[22] . Han ble eksilert til Noirmoutier etter Karlemagnes død i 814, men kom tilbake til favør i 821. EinhardsAnnales protokoll at "Adalhardum quoque de Aquitania" ble utnevnt til "Corbeiæ monasterio abbatem" i 821 [23] . Den primære kilden som registrerer datoen for Adalhards død er ennå ikke identifisert.
Bernard og hans andre kone hadde [fem] barn:
2. WALO [Walacho] ([772/73] -Bobbio 31. aug 836). Einhards Annales- plate " Walach come filius Bernhardi " som en av underskriverne for fred med vikingene i 811 [24] . Den Vita Adalhardi refererer til " Quinque ... Viri propagati ... maior nat Senex noster sanctissimus ... ", med henvisning til Adalhard, " ... deinde Wala ... " [25] . Det ser ikke ut til å være noe direkte bevis på at Walo ble født fra farens andre ekteskap, annet enn den indirekte indikasjonen fra den tjue år lange forskjellen mellom de estimerte fødselsdatoene til Walo og Adalhard [I]. En liste over saksere i Ostfalen datert jan / feb 802 registrerer at " Fredegarium filium Wicharii habuit Walah", antagelig antydende at den sistnevnte hadde ansvar for troskapen som ble svoret til keiseren av den førstnevnte [26] . Forutsatt at dette refererer til Walo sønn av Bernard, viser det at han bar titteltellingen først etter denne datoen, som kilden spesifiserer titlene for mange andre personer som er navngitt. Translatio Sancti Viti benevner " Walonem " som " frater prioris Adalhardi " [27] . Sysselmannen. Einhard benevner " Walacho kommer " som et av de 15 vitnene fra testamentet til keiser Charlemagne datert 811 [28] . Einhards Annales registrerer at "Walanem filium Bern patruelis sui "ble sendt til Italia i 812 som verge for" Bernhardum filium Pippin nepotem suum [Karoli imperatoris] " [29] . Den Vita Hludowici Imperatoris navn" Walam et Warnarium, necnon et Lambertum sed et Ingobertum "som Missi [ i 813], og registrerte at " Warnarius kommer ... accito nepote Lantberto " handlet uten viten om " Wala et Ingelberto " [30] . Walo ble munk i [814/15] etter keiseren Charlemagnees død. Einhards Annales registrerte at keiseren Louis jeg sendte "Walahum monachum propinquum suum [imperatoris] fratrem ... Adalhardi abbatis "til Italia i 822 med" Hlotharius ... filium suum " [31] . Abbé de Corbie 826-836, i rekkefølge etter broren. Han ble abbed av Bobbio i Italia i 836. de Vita Hludowici Imperatoris poster som " Wala Corbeiensis Abbas, Matfridus, Hugo, Lantbertus, Godefridus, itemque FILIUS eius Godefridus, Agimbertus kommer Pertensis ... sed et Richardus " døde mellom " Kal september usque annonse missam Sancti Martini " [i 836] [32] . m ---. Ingen eksplisitte henvisninger til kona til Walo er hittil funnet i primære kilder. Vita Wala- navnene "sceleratus Naso… Amisarius "ved innspilling av Walos utnyttelser i Spania, uttaler at Walo giftet seg med" sororem ipsius, filiam nobilissimi viri ... ", og legger til at broren hennes ble blind [33] . Settipani siterer kilder som fra disse referansene identifiserer Walos kone som søsteren til Bernard Marquis de Septimanie og Heribert (som ble blendet) og derfor datter av St. Guillaume Comte de Toulouse. Hvis vi antar at denne identifikasjonen er riktig, eliminerer Settipani Helmburgis fra de kjente døtrene til Guillaume, og antyder at hun døde ung , samt Gerberga, som ble myrdet i 834 i Chalon av allierte av Walo, som etterlater Chrodlindis [Rothlindis], datter av [St] Guillaume Comte de Toulouse,som eneste mulighet[34] . Koblingen er troverdig, men er ikke uten tvil, spesielt på grunn av usikkerhetene om foreldrene til Heribert som er omtalt nedenfor. Walo og kona hadde ett barn:
a) BERTRUDIS (-13 aug
). Nekrologien i klosteret Saint-Germain-des-Prés registrerer døden " Id Aug " av " Bertrut filia Walonis comitis " [35] .
3. GUNDRADA . Den Vita Adalhardi navn " Quibus ... soror [eius] Gundrada ", denne teksten følgende avsnittet som poster " Quinque ... Viri propagati ... " [36] . I følge Settipani ble Gundrada en nonne i 814, men han siterer ikke den primære kilden som dette er basert på [37] .
4. BERNHAR ([776] -after 821). Bernhar er navngitt som bror til Adalhard i de kongelige franske annaler[38] . DenVita Adalhardirefererer til "reliqui ... duo ... Bernarius noster ... et Theodrada soror eius", denne teksten følgende avsnittet som poster "Quinque ... Viri propagati ..." [39] . Munk på Corbie 801.

CHARLES “Martel”, son of PEPIN [II] "le Gros" or "d'Herstal" & his second [wife] Chalpais [Alpais] ([690]-Quierzy-sur-Oise, Aisne 16 or 22 Oct 741, bur église de l'abbaye royale de Saint Denis).
The Chronicon Moissiacense names "Karolum" as son of "Pippinus præfatus princeps…ex alia uxore nomine Alpaigde"[151].
He was imprisoned by his father's first wife after his father died[152]. However, the Neustrians revolted against Plectrudis, Charles escaped, was at first defeated by the Neustrians, but won the battle of Amblève, near Liège, in 716. He was victorious at Vinchy, near Cambrai, 28 May 717 after which Chilperic II King of Neustria fled with his maior domus, leaving Charles unchallenged to succeed as maior domus in Austrasia.
"Karolus" donated his part in "villa Bollane" to "monasterium Efternacum" by charter dated dated 23 Feb 717, which names "genitore meo Pippino"[153].
He conquered the Saxons in 718 and the Frisians in 719 when he captured Utrecht. He conquered the Neustrians, together with their ally Eudes Duke of Aquitaine, in 719.
He released and recognised King Chilperic II, becoming maior domus in Neustria.
"Theudericus rex Francorum" confirmed a donation to the abbey of St Denis on the request of "Carlo maiorem domus nostro" by charter dated 1 Mar 723[154].
He defeated the Muslim invaders, under Abd-al-Rahman bin Abd Allah al-Ghafiqi [Governor of Andalucía], at Moussais near Poitiers 25 Oct 732. The dating of the various Muslim incursions in southern France in the 720s/730s is discussed in the Histoire Générale de Languedoc[155].
He extended his authority to other French provinces: Hunald Duke of the Aquitanians swore allegiance to him in 736, he subjugated Burgundy and Provence in 736-738. In 737, he omitted to nominate a successor on the death of King Theoderic IV, signalling the effective end of the Merovingian monarchy.
The Annales Sancti Amandi record the death "741 Id Oct" of "Karolus dux Francorum"[156]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XVII Kal Nov" of "Karolus princeps"[157]. The Continuator of Fredegar records the same date for his death and his burial place[158].
m firstly CHROTHRUDIS, daughter of --- ([690]-[724/25]).
The Annales Laureshamenses record the death in 724 of "Hortrudis"[159]. The Annales Mosellani record the death in 725 of "Chrothrud"[160].
Settipani quotes a name list in the Liber confraternitatum augiensis which reads in part "Karolus maior domus, Pippin rex…Karolus imperator…Ruadtrud, Ruadheid, Svanahild regina, Bertha regina, Hiltikart regina, Fastrat regina, Liutkart regina…"[161]. He makes the obvious links between "Karolus maior domus…Svanahild regina", "Pippin rex…Bertha regina" and "Karolus imperator…Hiltikart regina, Fastrat regina, Liutkart regina", deducing that "Ruadtrud, Ruadheid" must also be linked logically to "Karolus maior domus" because of the order in which the names are listed. The primary source which specifically names the first wife of Charles "Martel" has not been identified.
m secondly (725) SUANACHILDIS [Suanhilde], niece of ODILO Duke of Bavaria, daughter of --- (-after 17 Sep 741).
The precise parentage of Suanachildis is not known. The Continuator of Fredegar records that "matrona quondam…Beletrude et nepta sua Sunnichilde" were captured and taken to Austrasia by Charles "Martel" in [724/25][162]. Einhard names "Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum" as the mother of Grifo[163]. The precise relationship between Suanhilde and Pilitrude, who was the wife in turn of the brothers Grimoald and Theodoald, has not been identified.
She instigated the marriage of her stepdaughter to Odilo Duke of Bavaria according to the Continuator of Fredegar[164].
After the death of her husband, she incited her son to rebel against her stepsons. She was defeated and sent to the monastery of Chelles, Seine-et-Marne. "Karlus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "villa Clippiacum in pago Parisiaco" to the abbey of St Denis by charter dated 17 Sep 741, subscribed by "Radberti comitis, Raygaubaldi comitis, Salaconis comitis, matrone Sonechildis, Grifonis filii sui"[165].
---
Mistress (1): CHROTHAIS, daughter of ---.
Settipani quotes a name list in the Liber confraternitatum augiensis, quoted above under Chrothrudis first wife of Charles "Martel", concluding that "Ruadtrud, Ruadheid" must be linked logically to "Karolus maior domus" because of the order in which the names are listed[166].
---
Mistress (2): ---.
The name of the second mistress of Charles "Martel" is not known.
Charles "Martel" & his first wife had three children:
1. CARLOMAN ([705/10]-4 Dec 754, bur Vienne, Isère).
Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death[167]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[168]. "Karlomanni filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 1 Jan 722 under which "Karolus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "castrum…Fethna sitam in pago Nifterlaco" to the monastery "infra muros Traiecto castro"[169].
He succeeded his father as maior domus, jointly with his brother Pepin. They deprived their half-brother Grifo of his inheritance, and defeated him after he rebelled against them. In the division of territories agreed with his brother, Carloman governed Austrasia, Alemannia, Thuringia and northern Alsace. The brothers were faced with revolts in Frisia, Bavaria, Alemannia and Aquitaine.
As a symbolic assertion of their authority, they nominated Childeric III as [Merovingian] king in 743. Einhard records that "Karlomannus" was in Saxony at "castrum Hohseoburg" and there accepted the surrender of "Theodericum Saxonem illius loci primarium" in 743[170]. "Childerichus rex Francorum" with "Karolomanno maiores domus, rectori palatio nostro" confirmed donations to the monastery of Stablo and Malmedy by charter dated Jul 744[171].
In 745, Carloman's brother Pepin appropriated the province of Alemannia for himself. Carloman reasserted his authority with an expedition against the Alemans in 746, massacring the leaders who had betrayed him to his brother. This triggered the defection of his other supporters, and Carloman relinquished power.
The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records that “Carlomannus frater Pippini junioris” became a monk in 745 and that “Pippinus junior parvus frater eius” obtained the whole of “Principatum Francorum”[172].
The Royal Frankish Annals record that, after 15 Aug 747, he left for Rome, where he built the monastery of St Sylvester on Monte Soracte before moving to the monastery of St Benedict at Monte Cassino where he became a monk[173]. He returned to France in 753 to oppose the request by Pope Stephen III (II) for Frankish help against the Lombards[174].
The Annales Moselleni record the death in 754 of "Karlamannus"[175].
m ---. The name of Carloman's wife is not known.
Carloman & his wife had [three or more] children (including Drogo 730/35 - after 753).
2. PEPIN [III] (715-Saint-Denis 24 Sep 768, bur église de l'abbaye royale de Saint Denis).
Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death[178]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[179].
He succeeded his father as maior domus jointly with his brother Carloman. He succeeded in 751 as PEPIN “le Bref” King of the Franks.
3. CHILTRUDIS [Hiltrude] (-754, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach).
The Continuator of Fredegar names "Chiltrudis" as daughter of Charles "Martel", stating that her "wicked stepmother" incited her to joined Odilo of Bavaria whom she married without the permission of her brothers[180].
After the death of her husband, she was regent in Bavaria for her son Duke Tassilo III. The Annales Moselleni record the death in 754 of "Hildtrud"[181].
m (741) ODILO Duke of Bavaria [Agilolfinger], son of --- (-18 Jan 748, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach). His brother-in-law Carloman invaded Bavaria, and Odilo was forced to recognise Frankish suzerainty in 744.
Charles "Martel" & his [first/second wife/mistress] had two possible children:
4. [LANDRADA .
Settipani quotes an Aquitaine necrology which lists "Willelmus…pater eius Theodericus, mater Aldana soror Hiltrudis et Landradæ"[182]. He suggests that "Hiltrudis" was the wife of Odilo Duke of Bavaria, and therefore that all three sisters were daughters of Charles "Martel". The theory is attractive but not conclusive, as its validity depends on there being no other contemporary Hiltrudis, which is not provable. If it is correct, there is no indication about the mother of Landrada and Aldana.
Hlawitschka highlights the case against the affiliation[183]. However, the evidence of the 25 May 765 charter, quoted below, suggests that Settipani´s hypothesis may be correct.]
same person as …? LANDRADA . The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensis names "Chrodegangus antistes…ex pago Hasbaniensi oriundus, patre Sigramno, matre Landrada, Francorum ex genere primæ nobilitatis progenitus" as Bishop of Metz[184]. The co-identity between Landrada, wife of Sigramnus, and Landrada, supposed daughter of Charles "Martel" is suggested by the charter dated 25 May 765 under which "Grodegangus…archiepiscopus" [son of Sigramnus and Landrada] donated property "in pago Wormacensi…[et] in villa Dagosbesher…in Hostoven, Burdus, in villa Flamersheim ecclesiam" to Gorze, with the consent of "Pipini…Francorum regis, avunculi mei"[185].
m SIGRAMNUS, son of ---.
5. [ALDANA .
Settipani quotes an Aquitaine necrology which lists "Willelmus…pater eius Theodericus, mater Aldana soror Hiltrudis et Landradæ"[186]. He suggests that "Hiltrudis" was the wife of Odilo Duke of Bavaria, and therefore that all three sisters were daughters of Charles "Martel". The theory is attractive but not conclusive, as its validity depends on there being no other contemporary Hiltrudis, which is not provable. If it is correct, there is no indication about the mother of Landrada and Aldana.
Hlawitschka highlights the case against the affiliation[187]. However, the evidence of the 25 May 765 charter, quoted above under Aldana´s supposed sister Landrada, suggests that Settipani´s hypothesis may be correct.
In addition, Einhard indicates that Theoderic [I] was related to Charles I King of the Franks when he records that in 782 King Charles sent his three missi "Adalgiso camerario et Geilone comite stabuli et Worado comite palati" to meet "in…Saxonis…Theodericus comes, propinquus regis"[188]. One possible relationship being between the king and Theoderic [I] would have been through his wife, if she had been the king's paternal aunt.
"Willelmus…comes" names "genitore meo Theuderico et genitrice mea Aldana" in his charter dated 14 Dec 804 (version two: dated 15 Dec 804) for the foundation of the monastery of Gellone[189].
m THEODERIC [I] Comte d'Autun, son of --- (-before 804).]
Charles "Martel" & his second wife had one child:
6. GRIFO ([726]-killed in battle Saint Jean de Maurienne 753).
Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death, specifying that "Grifo…minor natu…matrem habuit Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum"[190]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[191]. "Karlus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "villa Clippiacum in pago Parisiaco" to the abbey of Saint-Denis by charter dated 17 Sep 741, subscribed by "Radberti comitis, Raygaubaldi comitis, Salaconis comitis, matrone Sonechildis, Grifonis filii sui"[192].
His father bequeathed to Grifo the central part of his territory, but his stepbrothers Carloman and Pepin deprived him of this inheritance and split the land between themselves. Grifo rebelled, incited by his mother, but was defeated at Laon and imprisoned by Carloman at Neufchâteau in the Ardennes[193].
He was released in 747 by his brother Pepin and fled to Saxony, where he raised an army although armed conflict was avoided[194]. He invaded Bavaria where he was recognised as Duke in 748 in succession to Duke Odilo, but was deposed by Pepin who installed their nephew Tassilo III as duke.
According to the Royal Frankish Annals, in 748 Pepin granted Grifo the duchy of Mans and 12 counties in Neustria, although the source does not identify these counties more precisely[195]. The Continuator of Fredegar records that in 748 "germanus ipsius rege…Gripho" fled once more and allied himself with Waifar Duke of the Aquitanians[196]. Grifo rebelled yet again, in alliance with the Bretons.
He fled to Lombardy to join Aistulf King of the Lombards but was caught and killed while he was passing the Alps by "Theudoeno comite Viennense…et Frederico Ultraiurano comite"[197], two of Pepin's supporters. His escape to Italy, capture and death at the hands of "Theodoino comite in valle Maurienna" is also recorded in the Annales Laurissenses[198].
m ---. The name of Grifo's wife is not known.
Grifo & his wife had [two possible] children: Grifo and Charles.

BERNARD, illegitimate son of CHARLES "Martel" & his mistress Chrothais (before 732-787).
The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" as sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[10]. Bernard's relationship to the Carolingian kings is confirmed by Einhard's Annales which name "Walanem filium Bernhardi patruelis sui" when recording that he was sent to Italy in 812 as guardian for "Bernhardum filium Pippin nepotem suum [Karoli imperatoris]"[11].
Charles I King of the Franks sent Bernard as head of part of his army to Italy, through the Great St Bernard Pass, in response to the Pope's call for help against the Lombards in 773[12]. The Chronicon Moissiacensis records that “Bernardum avunculum suum” (referring to King Charles) led part of the army “per Jovis-montem in Italia”, in 770 but dated to 773[13].
The Annales Moselleni record the death in 787 of "Remigius et Bernehardus"[14].
m firstly ---. Settipani states that the first wife of Bernard was of Frankish origin but does not cite the source on which this is based[15].
m secondly ---. Settipani states that the second wife of Bernard was of Saxon origin but does not cite the source on which this is based[16].
Bernard & his first wife had one child:
1. ADALHARD [I] ([752]-2 Jan 826).
The Vita Adalhardi refers to "quinque…viri propagati…maior natu senex noster sanctissimus", referring to Adalhard, recording in an earlier passage that he entered holy orders at the age of 20[17]. Although the passage does not name Adalhard's father, it names his younger brother "Wala" whose father is named in Einhard's Annales which record "Walach comes filius Bernhardi"[18].
The Annales Laurissenses record that King Charles came to "Corbonaeum villam" in 771 with "Wilcharius archiepiscopus et Folradus capellanus…Warinus et Adalhardus comites"[19]. Although it is not certain that this "Adalhardus" was the son of Bernard or a different person, no reference to another contemporary of the same name has so far been found.
Abbé de Corbie 781.
A Capitulum of Charles I King of the Franks dated Jun 800 names "Adalardo comiti palatio nostri"[20]. "Comiti Hadalhardus, Fulradus, Unrocus seu Hrocculfus" are named as imperial missi in a document of Emperor Charlemagne dated 806[21].
Adalhard was tutor of Pepin King of Italy, son of Charlemagne, and was appointed regent for Pepin's son Bernard King of Italy in 813[22].
He was exiled to Noirmoutier after the death of Charlemagne in 814, but returned to favour in 821.
Einhard's Annales record that "Adalhardum quoque de Aquitania" was appointed "Corbeiæ monasterio abbatem" in 821[23]. The primary source which records the date of death of Adalhard has not so far been identified.
Bernard & his second wife had [five] children:
2. WALO [Walacho] ([772/73]-Bobbio 31 Aug 836).
Einhard's Annales record "Walach comes filius Bernhardi" as one of the signatories of peace with the Vikings in 811[24]. The Vita Adalhardi refers to "quinque…viri propagati…maior natu senex noster sanctissimus…", referring to Adalhard, "…deinde Wala…"[25].
There does not appear to be any direct proof that Walo was born from his father's second marriage, other than the indirect indication from the 20 year difference between the estimated birth dates of Walo and Adalhard [I].
A list of Saxons in Ostphalia dated Jan/Feb 802 records that "Fredegarium filium Wicharii habuit Walah", presumably indicating that the last named had responsibility for the allegiance sworn to the emperor by the first-named[26]. Assuming that this refers to Walo son of Bernard, it shows that he bore the title count only after this date, as the source specifies the titles in the case of many other individuals named. The Translatio Sancti Viti names "Walonem" as "frater prioris Adalhardi"[27].
Governor of Saxony.
Einhard names "Walacho comes" as one of the 15 witnesses of the testament of Emperor Charlemagne dated 811[28]. Einhard's Annales record that "Walanem filium Bernhardi patruelis sui" was sent to Italy in 812 as guardian for "Bernhardum filium Pippin nepotem suum [Karoli imperatoris]"[29]. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Walam et Warnarium, necnon et Lambertum sed et Ingobertum" as missi [in 813], recording that "Warnarius comes…accito nepote Lantberto" acted without the knowledge of "Wala et Ingelberto"[30].
Walo became a monk in [814/15] following the death of Emperor Charlemagne. Einhard's Annales record that Emperor Louis I sent "Walahum monachum propinquum suum [imperatoris] fratrem…Adalhardi abbatis" to Italy in 822 with "Hlotharius…filium suum"[31].
Abbé de Corbie 826-836, in succession to his brother.
He became Abbot of Bobbio in Italy in 836. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Wala Corbeiensis abbas, Matfridus, Hugo, Lantbertus, Godefridus, itemque filius eius Godefridus, Agimbertus comes Pertensis…sed et Richardus" died between "Kal Sep usque ad missam sancti Martini" [in 836][32].
m ---. No explicit reference to the wife of Walo has so far been found in primary sources. However, the Vita Wala names "sceleratus Naso…Amisarius" when recording Walo's exploits in Spain, states that Walo married "sororem ipsius, filiam nobilissimi viri…", and that her brother was blinded[33].
Settipani cites sources which, from these references, identify Walo's wife as the sister of Bernard Marquis de Septimanie and Heribert (who was blinded), and therefore daughter of St Guillaume Comte de Toulouse. Assuming that this identification is correct, of the possible candidates Settipani eliminates Helmburgis from the known daughters of Guillaume, suggesting that she died young, as well as Gerberga, who was murdered in 834 at Chalon by allies of Walo, which leaves Chrodlindis [Rothlindis], daughter of [St] Guillaume Comte de Toulouse, as the only possibility[34]. The link is credible but is not without doubt, particularly because of the uncertainties about the parentage of Heribert which are discussed below.
Walo & his wife had one child, Bertrudis.
3. GUNDRADA .
The Vita Adalhardi names "quibus…soror [eius] Gundrada", this text following the paragraph which records "quinque…viri propagati…"[36].
According to Settipani, Gundrada became a nun in 814 but he does not cite the primary source on which this is based[37].
4. BERNHAR ([776]-after 821).
Bernhar is named as brother of Adalhard in the Royal Frankish Annals[38]. The Vita Adalhardi refers to "reliqui…duo…Bernarius noster…et Theodrada soror eius", this text following the paragraph which records "quinque…viri propagati…"[39].
Monk at Corbie 801.
He lived in exile with his brother Walo in 821, but was recalled and restored to Corbie[40]. Einhard's Annales record that "Adalhardum quoque de Aquitania" was appointed "Corbeiæ monasterio abbatem" in 821 and that "Bernharium frater eius" returned to the monastery at the same time[41].
5. THEODERADA .
The De Sancto Ratberto Abbate Corbeiensi names "Thedradam apud Sanctam Mariam Suessionis abbatissam…Adalardi et Wale sororem"[42]. The Vita Adalhardi names "Bernarius…et Theodrada soror eius", this text following the paragraph which records "quinque…viri propagate…"[43].
According to Settipani, Theodrada became a nun in 814 but he does not cite the primary source on which this is based[44].
Abbess of Sainte-Marie de Soissons.
m ---. The name of Theodrada's husband is not known.
6. [IDA .
The Vita Sancti Idæ names Ida as only daughter of an unnamed count[46], the Introduction to the MGH SS edition citing "annalibus Corbeiensibus in bibliotheca Regia" which name Ida as "Adalhard et Walæ soror, uxor Egberti quem Brunonis Angrariorum principis filium fuisse", commenting that she died aged 100[47].
She is not named as the sister of Adalhard in the Vita Adalhardi.

From the Wikipedia page of Bernard, son of Charles Martel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard,_son_of_Charles_Martel
Bernard or Bernhard (born c. 720) was a son of Charles Martel by his mistress Ruodhaid. He is an obscure figure, rising out of the mists only to lead half of the Frankish army in his nephew Charlemagne's Lombard campaign. While Charlemagne led his contingent through the pass of Moncenisio, Bernard led his through the Great St. Bernard Pass.
He is known to have had two sons of both disgrace and prominence in the reign of Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious:
1. Adalard, disgraced and then became a steward of Louis the Pious
2. Wala (d. 835), disgraced and then became the chief advisor of Lothair I in his rebellions
3. Ingeltrude, a daughter who was the mistress of King Pippin of Italy and by whom she had King Bernard of Italy.
From the French Wikipedia page on Bernard:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_(fils_de_Charles_Martel)
Bernard ou Bernhard († 787) est un comte carolingien (Comte de Saint-Quentin), fils de Charles Martel, maire du palais d'Austrasie, de Neustrie et de Bourgogne, et de Chrotais.
En 774, à la demande du pape Adrien Ier, il est envoyé par Charlemagne à la tête d'une armée pour combattre les Lombards. Selon les Annales Mosellani, il meurt en 787 [1].
Avec une première épouse d'origine franque dont on ne connait pas le nom, il a un fils [2] :
1. Adalard (v. 752 † 2 janvier 826), missus dominicus, comte du palais de Charlemagne et abbé de Corbie.
Avec une seconde épouse d'origine saxonne, il a quatre enfants [2] :
1. Wala (v. 772 † 31 août 836), abbé de Corbie
2. Gundrade († ap.814), vierge et religieuse
3. Bernard (v. 776 † ap.821), moine à l'abbaye de Corbie en 801.
4. Théodrada, abbesse de Saint-Marie de Soissons après avoir été mariée et mère d'une fille, Imme, qui lui a ensuite succédé comme abbesse.

Bernardo (n. 720 circa) fu un figlio di Carlo Martello e dell'amante Ruodaide.
Egli è una figura oscura, che si distinse per aver guidato metà dell'esercito franco nella campagna longobarda del nipote Carlo Magno; mentre quest'ultimo guidava il suo contingente attraverso il passo del Moncenisio, Bernardo condusse il suo attraverso il Gran San Bernardo.
Egli è ricordato per aver avuto due figli che conobbero la disgrazia, ma anche grande importanza nel regno di Ludovico il Pio, figlio di Carlo Magno:
1. Sant'Adelardo, caduto in disgrazia ed in seguito divenuto maggiordomo di Ludovico il Pio;
2. Wala (m. 835), anch'esso finito in disgrazia e poi divenuto principale consigliere dell'imperatore Lotario I nelle sue ribellioni;
3. Ingeltrude, che fu l'amante di re Pipino d'Italia, dal quale ebbe re Bernardo d'Italia.

32 Chrodtrud - (Ruodhaid)
Chrodtrud wird in keiner erzählenden Quelle und in keiner Urkunde ausdrücklich als Gemahlin Karl Martells erwähnt. Da jedoch in der Gruppe der älteren karolingischen Annalen (Ann. Moselani, Ann. Laureshamenses, Ann. Petaviani, Ann. Nazariani), die dem KAROLINGER-Hause bekanntlich sehr nahe stehen, zu 725 Chrothrud mortua bzw. Hrottrudis mortua bzw. Chrotrudis mortitur überliefert wird (MG. SS. 16, Seite 494, MG. SS. 1, Seite 24, 9, 25) und andererseits Karl Martell gerade im nämlichen Jahr 725 von einem Feldzug nach Bayern Swanahild mitbringt, die er dann zur Gemahlin nimmt, hat man seit A. Valesius (1638) und J. Mabillon (1703) geschlossen, daß diese Chrodtrud Karl Martells erste Gemahlin gewesen sein müsse; vgl. H. Hahn, Jahrbücher des Fränkischen Reiches 741-752, Berlin 1863, Seite 1f., und Th. Breysig, Jahrbücher (wie in Nr. 18), Seite 9. Hahn hat außerdem zur Stützung dieser These auf die Wiederholung des Namens Chrodtrud bei einer Tochter KARLS DES GROSSEN hingewiesen.
Alle Zweifel werden meines Erachtens durch einen Eintrag ins Reichenauer Verbrüderungsbuch beseitigt. Dort findet man an der Spitze der Nomina defunctorum, qui presens coenobium sua largitate fundaverunt, die folgenden Namen: Karolus maior domus - Pippin rex - Karlomannus maior domus - Karolus imperator - Karlomannus - Karolus rex - Pippinus rex - Bernardus rex - Ruadtraud - Ruadheid - Suanahil regina - Berhta regina - Hiltikart regina - Fastrat regina - Liutkart regina - Ruadheid (danach Rasur) - Hirminkar regina; MG. Libri confrat., Seite 292, Spalte 460.
Hier handelt es ganz augenscheinlich um Karl Martell, König Pippin, dann dessen älteren Bruder Karlmann, schließlich um KARL DEN GROSSEN und seinen Bruder Karlmann, um KARLS DES GROSSEN Söhne Karl und Pippin sowie KARLS Enkel Bernhard von Italien. Die Frauenreihe ist nach Suanahil regina (!), der zweiten Gemahlin Karl Martells, auch übersichtlich. Es handelt sich um Gemahlinnen einiger der oben angeführten Männer, und zwar um Swanahild (die freilich niemals echte regina war) als zweiter Gemahlin Karl Martells, Berta als Gemahlin König Pippins, Hildegard, Fastrada und Liutgart als Gemahlinnen KARLS DES GROSSEN, Irmingard, die 818 verstorbene Gemahlin des zur Anfertigung des Eintrages noch lebenden LUDWIGS DES FROMMEN, und bei Ruadheid, nach deren Namen man das gleichfalls eingetragene regina wieder tilgte, wohl um die gleichnamige Schwester oder Tochter KARLS DES GROSSEN (nach L. Levllain, La charte de Clotilde [Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Chartes 105, 1944], Seite 48-63, um die Gemahlin Pippins von Italien; mit der Annahme, daß diese Zusammenstellung von Abt Adalhard von Corbie (Nr. 51) verfertigt sei, geht er jedoch bei seinem Deutungsversuch jedoch von falschen Voraussetzungen aus, wodurch gerade jene Zuweisung hinfällig wird). Da somit in der Liste auch eine generationsmäßige Abfolge eingehalten zu sein scheint, kann die an der Spitze der Frauen stehende Ruadtrud nur mit dem an der Spitze der Männer stehenden Karl Martell in Verbindung gebracht und als Karl Martells erste Gemahlin betrachtet werden. Zumal nun außerdem feststeht, daß Karl Martells Söhne Bernhard, Hieronymus und Remedius/Remigius weder Vollgeschwister Karlmanns und König Pippins (Nr. 45 und 48) noch Vollgeschwister Grifos (Nr 41) waren, Karl Martell also neben der hiermit gesicherten Chrodtrud und neben Swanahild noch eine Nebenfrau gehabt haben muß, wird man nicht fehlgehen, wenn man jene in der an zweiter Stelle unter den Frauender Reichenauer Liste stehenden Ruadheid zu erkennen meint. Dabei darf man darauf verweisen, daß dann der Name Ruadheid auch bei einer Schwester KARLS DES GROSSEN (Nr. 60) sowie bei einer Tochter KARLS DES GROSSEN (Einhard, Vita Karoli c.18) wieder auftaucht. - Auf Chrodtruds Abstammung könnte etwas Licht fallen, wenn man jenen propinquus Karl Martells namens Wido, der Laienabt von St. Wandrille war und 739 wegen Hochverratsabsichten hingerichtet wurde (Gesta abb. Fontanell. c. 11, MG. SS. 2, Seite 284f.), als einen nahen Verwandten Chrodtruds oder mit A. Halbedel, Fränkische Studien (wie in Nr. 4), Seite 29 Anmerkung, gar als Schwager Karl Martells ansehen und H. Schreibmüller, 'Die Ahnen Kaiser Konrads II. (Herbipolis jubilans, Würzburg 1952), Seite 201, jenen wiederum in das bekannte Geschlecht der WIDONEN einordnen dürfte. Sichere Anhaltspunkte hierfür liegen jedoch keineswegs vor.

Regarding the immediate family of Count Bernard:
Wala was born as a son of a Saxon woman and Count Bernard who was a brother of Pepin the Third and a natural son of Charles Martel. Wala was the first cousin of Charlemagne and a half brother of Adalard the Younger, who served as abbot of Corbie until 826. Wala also had a full brother named Bernarius, and two sisters Gundrada and Theodrada, abbess of Notre-Dame de Soissons. In Wala’s early years, he had been brought up in the school of the royal Palace with his brother Adalard the Younger. At Court, both Wala and his brother Adalard were known as being honest, honorable and zealous. As a youth, Wala incurred the temporary disapproval of his cousin Charles. In 792, it has been supposed that he was in some way involved with the conspiracy of Charles son’, Pepin the hunchback. As a result, he was banned from court and forced to live under the close watch of some of the loyal magnates. During this time, it is presumed that he married daughter of William, count of Toulouse, Rothlindis, and Wala became a brother in-law of Bernard of Barcelona. He was widowed before he became a monk in 814. In his early years, Wala regained royal favor. During Charlemagne’s rule, he rose to become the Emperor’s second-in-command. Charlemagne appears to have appointed his cousin Wala to oversee administration on Saxony, just as he had elevated his brother in law Gerold in Bavaria. During his rule Charlemagne appears to have relied confidently on his capable cousins, including Adalard, Bernarius and Wala.
