Bertila werd consors genoemd in aktes en niet het gebruikelijke coniunx (echtgenote). Dit wordt gezien als aanwijzing dat zij informeel een belangrijke macht uitoefende. In 915 werd ze naast Berengar tot keizerin gekroond. Kort daarop werd ze schuldig bevonden aan overspel en met gif ter dood gebracht.
Bertila of Spoleto (c. 860 December 915) was the wife of Berengar I of Italy, and by marriage Queen consort of Italy and Holy Roman Empress.
She was the daughter of Suppo II (c. 835 c. 885), and of Bertha (dead by 921). Her paternal grandfather was Adelchis I of Spoleto, second son of Suppo I and father of Suppo II.
She married Berengar c. 880, becoming Queen of Italy in 888. However, her husband lost his throne in the following year to Guy of Spoleto. Berengar began to reassert his power in 896, after the fall of the Spoleto family, and the withdrawal of Emperor Arnulf from the peninsula; however, a defeat by a Magyar army, and the decision by the Italian nobles to appoint Louis of Provence as King of Italy, delayed the King and Queen's formal return to power until 905.
Bertila became Holy Roman Empress, after her husband was crowned Emperor in 915. She died in the December of the same year.
Bertila and Berengar had several children. Their daughter Gisela (882910) married Adalbert I of Ivrea, who were the parents of Berengar II of Italy.
Let op: Echtgenoot (Berengarius I van Friuli) is ook haar neef.
Zij is getrouwd met Berengarius I van Friuli.
Zij zijn getrouwd in het jaar 880, zij was toen 20 jaar oud.
