  • (About) .
    Rotrude, Rotrou or Chrotrudis (c690-724), wife of Charles Martel. Her ancestry is speculative and has been much debated. Various reconstructions make her the daughter of (1) Saint Leutwinus, Bishop of Trèves, (2) Rupert I, Count of Wormsgau, (3) Roger, Duke of Le Mans, (4) Robert de Bourgogne, and (5) Lambert, Count d' Hesbaye. - Justin Swanstrom, September 19, 2010

    The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy says, "CHROTHRUDIS, daughter of --- ([690]-725). The Annales Laureshamenses record the death in 724 of "Hortrudis"[160]. The Annales Mosellani record the death in 725 of "Chrothrud"[161]. Settipani quotes a name list in the Liber confraternitatum augiensis which reads in part "Karolus maior domus, Pippin rex…Karolus imperator…Ruadtrud, Ruadheid, Svanahild regina, Bertha regina, Hiltikart regina, Fastrat regina, Liutkart regina…". He makes the obvious links between "Karolus maior domus…Svanahild regina", "Pippin rex…Bertha regina" and "Karolus imperator…Hiltikart regina, Fastrat regina, Liutkart regina", deducing that "Ruadtrud, Ruadheid" must also be linked logically to "Karolus maior domus" because of the order in which the names are listed. The Annales Petaviani record the death in 725 of "Chrotrudis" but do not specify that she was Charles´s wife".
  • She died in the year 724 in Quierzy, de l'Aisne, Picardie, France.
  • She is buried in Saint Arnoul Royal Abbey, Metz, de la Moselle, Lorraine, France.
