Erchinoald
Erchinoald (also Erkinoald and, in
in 642 and remained such until his death in 658.Family
According to
Desiderius of Cahors
will have also been of this family as is further evidenced inter alia by that Gallo-Roman saint's close ties to King Dagobert, and a brother named "Syagrius".
Erchinoald introduced
Saethryth, in most cases his relations, retired and were made abbess.[6]
Erchinoald himself married Leutsinde.[7] Through her he had a son, Leudesius, who became the mayor of the palace of Neustria in 675.
Erchinoald died in 658 and was succeeded by Ebroin, chosen by the Frankish nobles. Although his son, Leudesius, and much of his family were destroyed in the conflict between the factions of Leudegar of Autun and Ebroin in 676, the name does resurface in the 7th century in Frankia suggesting he may have had some descendants who survived; Chaume has posited a sister who was ancestor to a number of powerful families during the Carolingian era such as the Guerinids, the counts of Gatinais, and the Guidonids.[8]
