Notes


Rotrude (Chrodtrudis) (or Crotude, Chrotrude, or Ruadtrud; died 724) was the first wife of Charles Martel, Mayor of the Palace and de facto ruler of Francia from 718 to 741. She was the mother of Pepin the Short, King of the Franks, and therefore the grandmother of Charlemagne. Rotrude is believed to be the daughter of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye, although this designation is not without controversy, as discussed below. She is also referred to as Rotrude of Treves. Rotrude and Charles had five children: Carloman, Mayor of the Palace Pepin the Short, King of the Franks and father of Charlemagne Hiltrude, Duchess Consort of Bavaria, married to Odilo, Duke of Bavaria (perhaps) Landrade (perhaps) Auda of France, married to Thierry IV, Count of Autun. After Rotrude’s death in 724, Charles married Swanachild and had one child Grifo. Charles also had a mistress Ruodhaid with whom he had numerous children.
