Settipani, Addendum:
Emma, mother of Hildegarde is well
known as the wife of the count Gerold. Among her children, we know Gerold, prefect of
Bavaria, Megingoz, Odalric, Odon, and Hadrian (maternal grandfather of Robert the
Strong). The husband of Emma, Gerold, carries a characteristic name of the ducal
dynasty of Bavaria, the Agilolfings, founded in the 6th century by the Frankish duke
Garibald (Gerold - Gerald - Gerbald - Garibald). M. Göckel showed that it is possible to
identify our Gerold with a homonym named as son of Agilolf. So we can recognize the
paternal family of Hildegarde as cadets of the Bavarian Agilolfings. Agilolf, father of
Gerold, could be the great-grandson of one of the sons of duke Theodo II (+ 716). The
marriage of queen Hildegarde’s parents thus constitutes a union between two branches
of sovereign dynasties of principalities of the Merovingian realm. It was not moreover
the first union between dukes of Alemania and those of Bavaria. In 735 the duchy of
Bavaria was in the hands of Odilon, who was, as showed E. Zollner, the son of
Godofred, duke of Alemania. As K.A. Eckhardt has well noted, this inheritence shows
that Odilon’s mother was a Bavarian princess. Indeed, one of the brothers of Odilon
carries the name of a son of Theodo II and a son of Odilon has the Agilolfing dynastic
name Tassilon. Last, one of the sons of Godofred, duke Liutfrid, is specifically called an
Agilolfing. The most natural conclusion is that Godofred married a close relative (sister?)
of Theodo II.
