About NN

HIERONYMUS, illegitimate son of CHARLES "Martel" & his mistress --- (-after [782]). Herimannus names "Hieronimo Pipini fratre"[160]. 754, 775. Abbé de Saint-Quentin. The Vita Fulcuini names "matre Erkensinda, patre Hieronimo, quorum prior de gente Gothorum…alter {Karolo] regis avunculus" as parents of "Folcuinus"[161]. "Carolus…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued judgment in favour of Kloster Mettlach by charter dated to [782] which names "fidelibus…Erhardo, Walerano, Ernust, Warnario, Huncelinus, Warlando, Waltario, Rimigaudo, Hainrico, Gaeroni et Hieronimo comitibus…et Walachario seu comiti palatii nostri"[162]. m ERCHESWINDA or ERMENTRUDIS, daughter of ---. The Vita Fulcuini names "matre Erkensinda, patre Hieronimo, quorum prior de gente Gothorum…alter [Karolo] regis avunculus" as parents of "Folcuinus"[163]. The cartulaire of Saint-Bertin names "Ermentrudis genetrix beati præsulis Folquini"[164]. Settipani supports the theory that Hieronymus married twice, Ermentrudis being his first wife and Ercheswinda his second, Audoen [I], Fulrad and Richarda being his children by his first wife while Folcuin [II] was his son by his second wife[165]. However, this appears to ignore the fact that both of the sources referred to above purport to name the mother of Folcuin. Unless new information comes to light, it appears preferable to assume that both sources refer to the same person. The Gothic (or Visigothic) ancestry of Ercheswinda, asserted by the Vita Fulcuini, has not been traced. Hieronymus & his wife had [four] children:

  • 1. AUDOEN [I] . His parentage is confirmed by the cartulaire of Saint-Bertin names "Odwini…fratre beati præsulis Folquini"[166], read together with the Vita Fulcuini which names "matre Erkensinda, patre Hieronimo, quorum prior de gente Gothorum…alter {Karolo] regis avunculus" as parents of "Folcuinus"[167]. m ---. The name of Audoen's wife is not known. Audoen [I] & his wife had [one possible child]:
  • i) [---. m ---.] One child: (a) AUDOEN [II] . The cartulaire of Saint-Bertin names "Odwini, filii alterius Odwini, qui erat fratre beati præsulis Folquini"[168], although this is chronologically unsustainable unless two generations are interposed, as shown here. m ---. The name of Audoen's wife is not known. Audoen & his wife had two children:
  • a. FOLCUIN [III]] (-Saint-Bertin [975). His parentage is specified in the first part of the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin, of which he was the author, written in 961/62[171]. His parents consecrated him as a monk at Saint-Bertin in early Nov 948[172]. He has been incorrectly described as abbé of Lobbes from 965 by a 16th century source[173].
  • (2) REGENWALA . The cartulaire of Saint-Bertin names "Regenwala frater suus [Folquinus]"[174].
  • 2. FULRAD (-31 Jan 826). The Vita Fulcuini names "Folradum Sancti Quintini" as one of the brothers of "Folcuinus"[175]. Abbé de Saint-Quentin 771. The Annales Laurissenses record that King Charles came to "Corbonaeum villam" in 771 with "Wilcharius archiepiscopus et Folradus capellanus…Warinus et Adalhardus comites"[176]. "Comiti Hadalhardus, Fulradus, Unrocus seu Hrocculfus" are named as imperial missi in a document of Emperor Charlemagne dated 806[177]. Abbé de Lobbes 823.
  • 3. RICHARDA . She received property from Fulrad [her brother] in 769-782[178]. m NITHARD, son of ---.]
  • 4. FOLCUIN [I] (-Esquelbecq, Nord 15 Dec 855, bur Sithiu). The Vita Fulcuini names "matre Erkensinda, patre Hieronimo, quorum prior de gente Gothorum…alter {Karolo] regis avunculus" as parents of "Folcuinus"[179]. The cartulaire of Saint-Bertin names "Hieronimus pater beati præsulis Folquini"[180]. Bishop of Morins [Th%C3%A9rouanne] [end-816/early 817]. "Folquinus...Morinorum episcopus" addressed the monks of Saint-Bertin by charter dated 20 Jun 839[181]. If his parentage is correctly stated in the Vita Fulcuini, Folcuin [I] must have been very old when he died.
