Itta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Itta (also Ida, or Iduberga) (died 652), was the wife of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. Her brother was Saint Modoald, bishop of Trier. Her sister was abbess Saint Severa.

On the advice of the missionary bishop Saint Amand, bishop of Maastricht, after Pippin's death, she founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles, with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed as abbess her daughter Gertrude, perhaps after resigning the post herself.

She had by Pepin another daughter, Abbess Begga who married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf of Metz. By Begga, she is the grandmother of Pepin of Herstal and one of the matriarchs of the great Carolingian family. Her only son was Grimoald, later mayor of the palace, and father of King Childebert the Adopted.

Both her daughters were later canonised, as was she. Her feast day is May 8.

She founded the monastery of Nivelle on her lands in 640.

Note: Ancestral Roots (line 190-9) states that Itta is supposeddaughter of Arnoldus Bishop of Metz. Obviously there is noconvincing evidence, one way or the other, just hints &estimations. I had previously determined that Dode waspossibly/probably daughter of Arnoldus, which (if Itta were hersister) would make Saint Begga and her husband Ansgise/Ansgisel1st cousins. While marriages between 1st cousins were notuncommon during this era, these people were supposedly close tothe church and may not have countenanced such a marriage.

Thus I have decided to adopt the following ancestry for Itta,given below in a post to SGM, 18 Feb 2003, by David Hughes(nothing is sure):

a. Scharpfe, murdered 453
b. Ortelipe, murdered 453
[note: the sons of ATTILA quarreled after his death over thechieftainship, during which, Ardaric, the Gepidae king, ralliedthe Germans against their Hunnish masters and utterly defeatedthe Huns at the Battle of Nedao, 456, after which the remnantof the Huns gathered around the sons & grandsons of Attila "theHun", creating several groups, of which some remained inGermany and Central Europe while others retreated toScythia-Minor and became the Magyars, Bulgars, & Mongols]

note: the descent-line from Attila The Hun to Charlemagne postedrecently on the net is incorrect, however, the descent can bemade through the wife of Pepin of Landen rather than throughhis mother, which then would be:

00. Attila The Hun (d453)
01. Escam (Ascama) = Ardaric, Gepidae-King of Germany (d476)
02. Elemund (d493/515)

Ben notes: Although St. Itta was a co-founder of the Abbey of Nivelles, she was never Abbess. She delegated that duty to her daughter St. Gertrude of Nivelles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern scholarship suggests she might have been a daughter of Arnoald de Metz (Weis, Ancestral Roots 190:9), although that relationship has been questioned. David Hughes, not generally a reliable source, makes her a daughter of Grimoald, Duke of Aquitaine, a Merovingian prince.

Descrição: A pedido do missionário Santo Amand, bispo de Maastricht, após a morte de Pepino, ela fundou um convento de freiras Beneditinas em Nivelles, com um mosteiro a ser governado por uma abadessa. Ela própria ingressou no convento como freira e colocou sua filha Gertrude, como abadessa (talvez após desistir deste posto para ela própria).

Ida teve com Pepino outra filha, Abadessa Begga, que se casou com Ansegisel, filho de Arnulf de Metz. Através de Begga, ela foi avó de Pepino de Herstal e uma das matriarcas da grande família Carolíngia. Seu único filho foi Grimoaldo, mais tarde prefeito do palácio, e pai do rei Childeberto o adotado. Morreu em 8 de maio de 652 no próprio convento.

Como ela própria, suas duas filhas foram posteriormente canonizadas. Seu dia de comemoração é 8 de maio.
--------------------
Widowed in 640, Itte Idoberge retired in religion. Soon after 640 or 647, St. Amand visited her and encouraged her to found a monastery. This advice came true in 648 or 649 by the foundation of a monastery (Abbey Nivelles) in Hainaut.

Her daughter Gertrude was an interesting party because Grimoald's sister was highly sought by proposals of marriage.

To prevent her from being kidnapped and forcibly married, and as the young girl destined to a religious life, Itta herself cut the hair of her daughter and installed her as Abbess of Nivelles.

Mother and daughter had monks coming in from France and from overseas, probably England or Ireland. The monastery became twice it previous size, with a congregation of nuns along with a congregation of monks.

Itte died there twelve years after her husband had died.

Alpaida (Elfide, Chalpaida) was Pipin IIs konkubine og mor til Pipin IIs uekte sønn, Karl Martell.

Hennes bakgrunn er ukjent, men det blir antatt at hun var søster av Dodo eller en tremenning av Bertrada den eldre. Det er antatt at hun var født i nærheten av Prüm.

Itte (Itta) of Landen
Born: Abt 597, Landen, Austrasia, France

Married to Pepin I "The Old" de Landen

Died: Abt 652

Itta was the wife of the Austrasian Mayor Pepin I. According to later Carolingian Frankish mythology, Itta was the daughter of Arnoldus, a Margrave of Schelde and Oda. Arnoldus was the son of Blithildis and Ansbertus. Ansbertus was the son of Deuteria and another Scheldian Margrave Ansbertus Ferreolus. Ansbertus was the son of Tonantius, son of Papinilla and Tonantius Ferreolus (c420-c475). Papinilla was said to be a daughter of the Roman Emperor Avitus, and Tonantius Ferreolus said to be a grandson of the Roman general Syagrius who was kicked out of Gaul by King Clovis I of the Salian Franks.

From the Dictionary of Saintly Woman entry on Itta's daughter Gertrude:
http://www.archive.org/stream/saintlywomen01dunbuoft#page/n353/mode/2up/search/Ida

When Pepin died, Ida was inconsolable. Her son and older daughter were provided for, but she knew not what to do with herself and Gertrude, who was now a beautiful girl with a large estate. She consulted St. Amandus, who advised her to build a double monastery at Nivelle, and there devote herself, her daughter, and her worldly goods to the service of God. She followed his advice.

Before the monastery was quite ready for reception - haunted by the fear that the world and its votaries would take possession of Gertrude in spite of her care - she took a knife and cut off her beautiful long hair, shaving her head after the pattern of a crown. Gertrude rejoiced that she would be found worthy to wear a crown for her Lord's sake on earth, as a token that she should receive an immortal crown from Him in heaven.

As soon as all was duly arranged, Ida installed her daughter as first abbess, she herself being one of the nuns, and assisting Gertrude with her advice. Gertrude delighted to entertain pilgrims and pious travellers, and by this means often received sacred books or relics from Rome, or information and instruction in religious matters from those who were able to give it.

The Irish hagiographers say that she had Celtic monks to teach her community to sing psalms. Two irish monks - Saints Foillan and Ultan (May 1) - visited her on their way from Rome to Peronne, where their brother, St. Fursey (Jan.16) was buried. Gertrude and ida gave them a piece of land called Fosse, or "St Mors des Fossez," to build a monastery for a perpetual place of entertainment for pilgrims coming from or going to distant places.

About 10 years after the death of Pepin, Ida died. It seems to have been on the occasion of her mother's burial that Gertrude translated her father's body from Landen to Nivelle.

Saint Itta or Itta of Metz (also Ida, Itte or Iduberga) (592-652), was the wife of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. Her brother was Saint Modoald, bishop of Trier. Her sister was abbess Saint Severa. Their parents were Arnoald, Bishop of Metz, son of Ansbertus.
On the advice of the missionary bishop Saint Amand, bishop of Maastricht, after Pippin's death, she founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles, with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed as abbess herdaughter Gertrude, perhaps after resigning the post herself.
She had by Pepin another daughter, Abbess Begga of Andenne who married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf of Metz. By Begga, she is the grandmother of Pepin of Herstal and one of the matriarchs of the great Carolingian family. Her only son was Grimoald, later mayor of the palace, and father of King Childebert the Adopted.
Both her daughters were later canonised, as was she. Her feast day is May 8.
