    Swanahilde (geb ca. 710) was de tweede vrouw van Karel Martel.

    Swanahilde was een nicht van Odilo van Beieren en een van de gevangenen die Karel Martel maakte tijdens zijn Beierse campagnes (720-723). Kort daarna trouwde Karel met haar. Swanahilde arrangeerde bovendien een huwelijk tussen Odilo van Beieren en Hiltrude, dochter uit Karels eerste huwelijk met Rotrude van Trier. Na de dood van Karel wordt Swanahilde door haar stiefzoons in de Abdij van Chelles geplaatst, vermoedelijk tegelijk met de gedwongen intrede in een klooster van haar zoon Grifo.

    Swanachild (also Swanahild or Serenahilt) was the second wife of Charles Martel, who brought her back from his first campaign in Bavaria in 725, along with her uncle Grimoald's wife, Biltrude. Swanachild belonged to the clan of the Agilolfings though her parentage is not quite clear. Her parents could be:

    Tassilo II, duke of Bavaria, and his wife Imma
    Theodbert, duke of Bavaria and his wife Regintrud

    With Charles Martel she had one child, Grifo. After the death of Charles, she supported her son's failed attempt to gain a portion of his inheritance. This she did with the support of her uncle Odilo of Bavaria. Afterwards she was relegated to the position of abbess of Chelles. Although later Carolingian historians cast her as a concubine, she was during her time the rightful wife of Charles. The Reichenau Codex listed her as Suanahil regina, "Queen Swanachild."
  • She died in the year 741, she was 47 years old.
  • A child of Tassilo II (Theudebert) van Beieren and Imma van Allemanie
