• Notes

  Two more children were attributed to Ansegisel and Begga, but these proposals have been abandoned: Martin († 690), count who fought in 690 against Ebroïn alongside Pépin the younger. This hypothesis is based on the Hagiolum Viennense, dating from 1040, which mentions Pipinus, Ansegelli filius, and Martinus frater eius (= "Pepin, son of Ansegisel, and Martin, his brother"). But this mention is now considered to be a misinterpretation of a passage from the Liber Historiae Francorum, which does not make it possible to specify the kinship between Pépin and Martin, or even if there is a kinship link. Saint Landrada, founder of the Abbey of Munsterbilzen, whose late biography indicates that she was descended from Pépin and Arnulf († 690). Chronologically, she could only be the daughter of Ansegisel and Begga, but the biography insists on her being an only daughter.
