Notes about Blithildis "(Bilichide)" de SOISSONS

Prinses van Parijs.
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 contradictory chronological 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].
