Shared note | Bertrada (b. ca. 670 - d. after 721), also called Berthe or Bertree, and perhaps a Merovingian princess, 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 great-grandmother of Charlemagne.
Two alternative solutions to the question of her parentage have been suggested:
* 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. |
