Hugobert
Hugobert (also Chugoberctus or Hociobercthus) (died probably in 697) was a
Chugus, who in 617 became mayor of the palace of Austrasia. The juxtaposition of names in the Vita Landiberto episcopi Traiectensis may imply a relationship between him and the family of Saint Lambert
(see below).
It has been disproven that he is one and the same with bishop
Liège, because his wife appears in the records of Echternach in the year 698 as a widow. He was married to Irmina of Oeren, who, shortly after his death, made possible the founding of the Abbey of Echternach. Irmina was sister to Adela of Pfalzel
, founder of the convent Pfalzel, who is frequently confused with her daughter of the same name. He last appears in a royal charter dated 14 March 697.
Marriage and Family
Hugobert and Irmina had several daughters, including:
- Adela (655-732), abbess of Pfalzel, married to Eudes I, Duke of Aquitaine (questionable Odo the Great) [citation needed]
- Theudebert of Bavaria [citation needed]
- Irmina (d. ca 704), married to Chariveus, brother of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye.[citation needed]
Other children sometimes attributed by genealogists to Hugobert and Irmina include:
- Chrodelinda, who was likely the daughter of Irmina and Chiriveus. She married Wido, Abbot of Saint Wandrile. Their son Warnhar was Count of Horbach and was the patriarch of the Widonids. [citation needed][citation needed]
- Caribert of Laon, who was father of Bertrada of Laon, who in turn was mother of Charlemagne.[1][citation needed]
Relationships with Frankish Nobility
Hugobert has been speculated by genealogists to have been ancestor of a number of powerful families of the Frankish nobility, including the
Capetians, as well as the family of William of Gellone
. All of these connections are speculative in nature.
