Of all the Merovingian princesses, the most fortunate was perhaps Bertha, who at the time of her marriage to the Kentish prince Æthelbert, was little better than an orphan. Her husband was scarcely a king of great status in the eyes of the Merovingians, to whom he may well have been tributary, but, perhaps because of this, Bertha appears to have been a figure of some significance in the Kentish court: with the arrival of Augustine's mission, if not before, she was given the opportunity to play a role in the Christianization of England.

Saint Bertha or Aldeberge (539 – c. 612) was the Queen of Kent whose influence led to the introduction of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England.
Bertha was the daughter of Charibert I, King of Paris. When she married the pagan King Æthelberht of Kent, she brought her chaplain, Liudhard, with her to England. She restored a Christian church in Canterbury, which dated from Roman times, dedicating it to Saint Martin of Tours. The present St Martin's at Canterbury occupies the same site. Augustine of Canterbury, who was sent by Pope Gregory I to preach the Gospel in England in 596, owed much of his favourable reception there to the influence of Bertha.
She seems to have had two children:
* Eadbald of Kent
* Æthelburg of Kent
However, Bertha may have had at least one child with Ausbert the Senator of Moselle (536-570):[citation needed] [[1]]
* Arnoldus, the alleged father of Arnulf of Metz

{geni:about_me} Her ancestry is unproven (Weis, ''Ancestral Roots'' 180:5). However, the earliest sources, which tried to connect the Carolingians to the Merovingian dynasty they displaced, say that she was a daughter of one of the Merovingian kings of France, such as Chlothar I or his son Charibert I. Such an identification is possible, but the motivation of the Carolingians gives reason to be cautious.
Stuart identifies her as a daughter of Chlodéric de Cologne(''Royalty For Commoners'' 171:50, 236:48). The theory has not won general acceptance.
--------------------
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansbertus:
Blithilde, also called Bilichilde (ca 538 – ca 603), "Blithilde filia Clotharii regis Francorum." or "filiam Hlotharii regis Francorum.", daughter of Chlothar I, King of the Franks, and wife Waldrada, a Lombard princess. Married to Ansbertus. Before 555 and they had:
* Arnual or Arnoldus or Arnoald, Bishop of Metz and Margrave of Schelde
* Saint Munderic, Bishop of Arisitum
* Tarsicius or Tarsice
Another, less likely, version, from http://familytrees.genopro.com/Azrael/Skaggs/default.htm?page=Gaul-Blithilde-ind02083.htm:
Blithilde's father was Prince of Sigermerus Franks Wambert Ferreolus Franks and her mother was Deuteria Industria of Reims. Her paternal grandparents were Adelbert Franks and; her maternal grandparents were Tonance Industria de Narbone III and . She was an only child. She died at the age of 67 in 0580.
--------------------
This person marks the start of the legendary portion of the lineage before Charlemagne. Her name is mentioned in the Liber Historiae Francorum, as is her husband Senator Ansbertus, but not in documents that are contemporary to hertime. (Although I have her listed as "des Franks" here, I won't include her supposed Merovingian ancestry, as it is impossible to prove, and likely inaccurate.)
According to the French Wikipedia page on Faux Merovingiens:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansbert_le_s%C3%A9nateur#Ansbert_le_s.C3.A9nateur
Bilichilde
Bilichilde serait fille du roi Clotaire Ier, épouse d'Ansbert et mère d'Arnoul, évêque de Metz.
Bilichilde est une personne qui apparait dans deux généalogies carolingiennes, la Genealogia domni Karoli, du début du IXe siècle et la Genealogia domni Arnulfi, du IXe siècle. Elle est donnée comme fille du roi Clotaire Ier (ou Clotaire II selon les documents), épouse d'Ansbert et mère d'Arnoul, évêque de Metz au début du VIIe siècle. L'existence d'Arnoul est confirmée par des documents contemporains, au contraire de ses parents, bien qu'aucun fait ne vienne remettre en cause leur existence. Les deux généalogies sont trop tardives pour avoir une quelconque autorité. La filiation royale de Bilichilde est impossible d'un point de vue chronologique[4].
In English:
Bilichilde:
Bilichilde is a person who appears in two pedigrees of the Carolingians, the Genealogia domni Karoli from the early 9th century, and Genealogia domni Arnulfi from the 9th century. It is given that she is the daughter of King Clotaire I (or Clotaire II according to some documents), wife of Ansbertus, and mother of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz from the early 7th century. The existence of Arnold is confirmed by contemporary records, but not his parents, though no one really questioned their existence. The two genealogies are too late to have any authority. The royal lineage of Bilichilde is also impossible from a chronological point of view.
According to the Wikipedia page on her supposed father, King Clothar I des Franks:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlothar_I
Family
Chlothar's first marriage was to Guntheuc, widow of his own brother Chlodomer, sometime around 524. They had no children. His second marriage, which occurred around 532, was to Radegund, daughter of Bertachar, King of Thuringia, whom he and his brother Theuderic defeated. She was later canonized. They also had no children. His third and most successful marriage was to Ingund, by whom he had five sons and two daughters:
1. Gunthar, predeceased father
2. Childeric, predeceased father
3. Charibert, King of Paris
4. Guntram, King of Burgundy
5. Sigebert, King of Austrasia
6. Chlothsind, married Alboin, King of the Lombards
His next marriage was to a sister of Ingund, Aregund, with whom he had a son, Chilperic, King of Soissons. His last wife was Chunsina (or Chunsine), with whom he had one son, Chram, who became his father's enemy and predeceased him. Chlothar may have married and repudiated Waldrada

There is controversy about the ancestry of Blithilde (also called Bilichilde), married to Ansbertus before 555: "Blithilde filia Clotharii regis Francorum" or "filiam Hlotharii regis Francorum," supposed daughter of Chlothar I, King of the Franks, and wife Waldrada, a Lombard princess. This supposition has not been independently attested, and so is not reproduced here.

St. Bertha, Queen of Kent
(c. AD 565-612)
Bertha was the daughter of Caribert, one of the four brothers who becameKings of the Franks in AD 561. Her mother was the pious Ingoberga. Shemarried the pagan Aethelbert, King of Kent, who promised her the freedomto exercise her own Christian religion. She took as her chaplain toEngland, Liudhard, a bishop. Ethelbert gave him a little church atCanterbury, built as a Christian mausoleum during the Roman occupation ofBritain and still standing. Liudhard restored the building and dedicatedit in the name of St. Martin. It is the oldest church in England(excluding Welsh foundations in Cornwall, Herefordshire & Cumbria) andhas been used continuously since that time. Bertha was happy withAethelbert and the couple had at least three children, the future KingEdbald and SS. Ethelburga & Edburga. Her character and conductpredisposed her husband in favour of Christianity and when, in AD 596,St. Gregory the Pope, sent a band of missionary monks to England, underAugustine, they were received with respect. The king and many otherslistened to their teaching. On Whitsunday AD 597, Aethelbert declaredhimself a Christian and was baptized; and his example was quicklyfollowed by many of his people. He gave his own palace at Canterbury overto Augustine, who founded a church there, now the Cathedral. Aethelbertand Bertha, standing between Augustine and Liudhard, appear in thewindows of the nave of Canterbury Cathedral, among the early Englishsaints. Bertha died in AD 612 and, although spoken of in Canterbury as"St. Bertha," it is not clear that she has ever been worshipped and shehas no dedications.

Jim Hall wrote (Decemeber 1996):
The Latter Day Saints Ancestral File has Bertha married to Ausbert andbirthing Arnoldus who is Charlemagne's ancestor. This link providescontinuity between the old Merovingians and Charlemagne. Presumably thisis Bertha daughter ofCharibert I of Paris (d.567). Your source may haveconfused her with a Bilichild, sometimes said to be a daughter of Clovis,sometimes Clothar I, who is mentioned as a ancestor of Arnulf of Metz byPaul the Deacon in the late 8th century in his 'Deeds of the Bishops ofMetz'. The genealogiia domus Carolingiae (c.850) mentions Ansbert _degenere senatorum_ as the grandfather of Arnulf. These details postdatethe Carolingian deposition of the Merovingians in 751,and are usuallyregarded by historians as wishful thinking intended to legitimize thedynastic succession, and establish a false continuity. However I noticethat one current Dark Age historian at London University, Guy Halsall ina recent book (Settlement and Social Organisation: the region of Metz,CUP 1995) seemed to accept the tradition that Arnold and Arnulf wererelated to the Merovingian royal family.
Any historical mention I find of Bertha relates to her marriage toAethelbert, King of Kent. This is quite correct: there is a discussion ofthis in 'The Origins of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms' by S. Bassett, 1989,and 'Kings and Kingdoms in Anglo-Saxon England' by B.Yorke, 1990, bothfine books.
Conceivably Ausbert could have died and she remarried. The strange thingwould be leaving Arnololdus behind in Saxony. Quite right. But I thinkthat the tradition that connects Arnold and his family to Saxony onlydates from even later - 11th or 12th century: perhaps because theOttonians came from there. Both Arnold and Arnulf were bishops of Metz.This heritage must be shared by millions of us. Can anyone shed any lighton how Bertha managed her domestic affairs?

Gregory of Tours records that the daughter of King Charibert and his wife Ingoberg "eventually married a man from Kent and went to live there"[GT IV.26, p. 219]. Bede records that Æthelberht King of Kent had "a Christian wife of the royal family of the Franks called Bertha"[Bede, Book I, Chapter XXV]. It is reasonable to assume that Berta was born before 560, given the subsequent marital history of her father, who died in 567 having married three times after repudiating his first wife, although it is possible that some if not all his marriages were polygamous. Already a Christian when she came to England, she was accompanied by Liudhard, a Frankish bishop[Malmesbury I, 9, p. 12], although if he attempted to convert her husband his efforts must have been unsuccessful in view of his later conversion by St Augustine. Kirby suggests that the marriage took place in [580] after analysing the various contradictorychronological indications in contemporary sources[Kirby, p. 26]. According to Bede[Bede, Book I, Chapter XXV], King Æthelberht received Bertha "from her parents". As her father died in 567, and her mother in 589, the text if taken literally means that she married before 567, although this seems unlikely. The word "parents" may in this context mean "relatives" more broadly. Queen Bertha is named in Pope Gregory I's letter of 601 to her husband[Stenton, p. 109]. Bede records the burial of Queen Berta in the same church as her husband[Bede, Book II, Chapter V].
