Notities over Imma von Alemannien

The ancestors of the queen Hildegarde, wife of Charlemagne
Our first source for the queen’s genealogy is Thegan’s biography of Louis the Pious. He
writes that " in his youth, the emperor Charles married a girl of the very noble race of
Suevians, Hildegarde by name. She was issued from Godefred, duke of Alamans. Duke
Godefred had for son Huoching, of whom was born Nebi and from Nebi, Emma who
gave birth to Hildegarde "22.
A genealogy of this length, especially through women, is rather remarkable for this time.
This provides a measure of the glory of duke Godefred (687-708/9) and the glory which
the queen Hildegarde derived as his issue. What is still more interesting is that other
sources conveniently complete this genealogy. 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)23. 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.
The ancestors of Theodo were examined among Charlemagne's ancestry and so it
remains only to say a word regarding those of duke Godofred. His mother could indeed
be (according to K.A. Eckhardt's conjecture, taken up and developed by R. Wenskus
25) a daughter of Willibald, patricius of Burgundy. This Willibald came from the former kings
of this nation, but Godofred’s father remain unknown. However it is not in doubt that
Godofred belonged to a race of princes who governed Alemania in a almost-autonomous
way from the middle of the 6th century. The constant use of the same names proves this
beyond doubt. The paternal grandfather of Godofred could be the duke Leuthar (+ 643),
doubtless the anonymous duke who married towards 610 Appa, daughter of duke Gisulf
Il of Friuli. Leuthar would be the brother of the princess Fridburge, fiancee of the
Merovingian king Sigebert III and daughter of duke Cunzon. Beyond, one finds Uncelin
(587-608), Leutfrid I (c. 553-587) and Leuthar I (537/8-553), brother of Bucelin (537/8-553)
26 (see table below).
