Notes

[ARNOUL ([580/85]-Remiremont 18 Jul [640], bur Remiremont, later transferred to Metz, basilique de Saint-Arnoul). A 9th century genealogy names "beatum Arnulfum episcopum" as the son of Arnold, and Arnulf's sons "Flodulfum, Wallchisum et Anchisum"[414]. Settipani points out that this formed part of a series of genealogies compiled at Metz, from the late 8th century onwards, to glorify the ancestry of the Carolingian dynasty by establishing their descent from the early Merovingians and also from a familyof Roman senatorial origin[415]. The earlier Vita Sancti Arnulfi names "Arnulfus episcopus prosapia genitus Francorum" but gives no further details of his ancestry[416]. Another genealogy from the same period does not attempt to trace Arnoul's ancestors further than naming "Buotgisus" as father of "Arnulfum…episcopum urbis Metensium", although the editor of the Monumenta Germaniæ in which this is published cites another source which names "Burtgisus, qui a multis cognominatur Arnoaldus" although the dating of the latter is unclear[417].]
