9.¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â [ROTRUDIS¬â ([850]-).¬â Settipani names Rotrudis as the daughter of King Charles II but appears to base this on her being named as such in the¬â Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis[275], but this does not appear to be the case.¬â Flodoard names "Rotrudi" when recording her election as abbess of "monasterii Sanctâ¶ Crucis et Sanctâ¶ Radegundis" but does not give her parentage[276].¬â Abbess of Sainte-Radâ©gonde at Poitiers 868-870.]¬â
Emperor Charles II & his second wife had five children:
10.¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ROTHILDIS¬â ([871]-22 Mar 929).¬â Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks confirmed donations of property "in comitatu quoque Câìnomannico" made by "Hugo comes et mater sua Rothildis", at the request of "genitrix nostra Adeleidis et·Ä¶comes Hugo consanguineus, necnon et·Ä¶comes Ecfridus" by charter dated 1 Nov 900[277].¬â The charter dated 929 subscribed by "Hugonis comitis filii Rotgerii comitis" suggests that Rothildis must have been the wife of Roger[278].¬â Flodoard names "Rothildis, amitâ¶ suâ¶ [regis Karoli], socrus autem Hugonis" when recording that the king deprived her of "abbatiam·Ä¶Golam" [Chelles] in favour of his favourite Haganon, the context dictating that "Hugonis" was "Hugo¬â filius Rotberti"[279].¬â As the paternal aunt of King Charles III, chronology determines that she must have been the daughter of her father's second marriage, although no source has so far been identified which states this to be the case.¬â She acquired the monasteries of Chelles, and Notre-Dame and Saint-Jean at Laon.¬â She retreated to Chelles in 922 but was deprived of the monastery by her nephew Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks in favour of his favourite Haganon, an event which led to the rebellion of Robert Marquis en Neustrie who was the father of Rothildis's son-in-law (Hugues, later "le Grand" Duc des Francs)[280].¬â Her death is dated to late 928/early 929 as Flodoard names "Rothildis·Ä¶nuper defunctâ¶" when recording that "Heribertus et Hugo comites" (specifying that "Hugo" was "gener ipsius Rothildis") attacked "Bosonem¬â Rodulfi regis¬â frater" in 929 over the property of Rothildis[281].¬â This is also the only source so far identified from which her marriage is deduced.¬â The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prâ©s records the death "XI Kal Apr" of "Rothildis abbatisse et monache filia regis magni Karoli"[282].¬â The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XI Kal Mar" of "Rotildis abbatissa"[283].¬â These entries could refer alternatively to Rothildis, daughter of Emperor Charlemagne, but it is more likely that the former entry would have referred to her father as "imperator" if that was the case.¬â ¬â m¬â ([890])¬â ROTGER¬â [Roger] Comte, nephew of [HUGUES Comte de Bourges], son of --- (-before I Nov 900).¬â Comte du Maine 897.¬â
11.¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â DROGO ([872/73]-[873/74], bur Abbaye de Saint-Amand, Flanders).¬â The¬â Chronico Floriacensi¬â records the birth and death of "de Caroli¬â Carolus·Ä¶rex·Ä¶Pippinus·Ä¶simulque Drogo"[284].¬â Twin with Pâ©pin.
