Baptism of Duke Theodo by Bishop Rupert of Salzburg, St Peter's Abbey, Salzburg
Theodo (about 625 – 11 December c. 716) also known as Theodo V and Theodo II, was the Duke of Bavaria from 670 or, more probably, 680 to his death. It is with Theodo that the well-sourced history of Bavaria begins. He strengthened his duchy internally and externally and, according to the medieval chronicler Arbeo of Freising, he was a prince of great power whose fame extended beyond his borders.

Life
Theodo's descendance has not been conclusively established. A member of the Agilolfing dynasty, his father possibly was Duke Theodo IV of Bavaria (d. 680) and his mother was probably Fara of Bavaria (b. 600), daughter of one of the Kings of the Lombards and by her mother a granddaughter of Gisulf I of Friuli (b. 577).

Theodo established his capital at Ratisbona (modern Regensburg). He married Folchaid, of the Frankish (possibly Robertian as the daughter of Robert II) aristocracy in Austrasia, to build diplomatic ties there. He intervened in Lombard affairs by harbouring the refugees Ansprand and Liutprand, whom he assisted militarily on his return to claim the Iron Crown. Liutprand later married his daughter Guntrude. Theodo also defended his duchy ably from the Avars (with some failure in the east).

Theodo is the patron to the four great missionaries of Bavaria: Saint Rupert, Saint Erhard, Saint Emmeram, and probably Saint Corbinian. He was the first to draw up plans for the Bavarian church, aiming both at a deeper cultivation of the countryside as well as greater independence from the Frankish Kingdom by a closer association with the Pope. He was the first Bavarian duke to travel to Rome, where he conferred with Pope Gregory II. The diocesan seats were placed in the few urban centres, which served as the Duke's seats: Regensburg, Salzburg, Freising and Passau.

Two of his children are involved with the death of Saint Emmeram. Theodo's daughter Uta had become pregnant by her lover. Fearing her father's wrath, she confided to Emmeram and the saint promised to bear the blame, as he was about to travel to Rome. Soon after his departure, Uta's predicament became known and in keeping with the agreement she named Emmeram as the father. Her brother Lantpert went after Emmeram and greeted him as "bishop and brother-in-law," i.e., episcope et gener noster! Then he had Emmeram cut and torn into pieces. Theodo had the remains of the saint moved to Regensburg. Nothing more is known of Lantpert and Uta.

Marriage and issue
According to the Renaissance historians Ladislaus Sunthaym (c.1440–1512/13) and Johannes Aventinus (1477–1534), Theodo married Regintrud, possibly a daughter of King Dagobert I of Austrasia. However, the Verbrüderungsbuch codex of St Peter's Abbey, Salzburg only mentions one Folchaid, probably a daughter of the Robertian count Theutacar in Wormsgau. They had the following children:

Theodbert, Duke of Bavaria in Salzburg 711/12–c.719
Theobald, Duke of Bavaria in Regensburg c.711/12–717/19
Tassilo II, Duke of Bavaria in Passau (?) 717–719
Grimoald, Duke of Bavaria in Freising c.716–724
a daughter who married her Agilolfing cousin Duke Gotfrid of Alamannia

Theodo was eventually succeeded by his four other sons, between whom he divided his duchy sometime before 715. As early as 702, his eldest son Theodbert had been reigning from Salzburg and from 711 or 712 was the co-ruler of his father. It is impossible to see if this division was territorial (as with the Merovingians) or purely a co-regency (as with the later princes of Benevento and Capua). If so, Theodbert's capital was probably Salzburg and the Vita Corbiniani informs that Grimoald had his seat there. References to Theobald and the Thuringii implies perhaps a capital at Regensburg and this leaves Tassilo at Passau. All of this is educated conjecture.

Ordinals
Some historians have distinguished between a Duke Theodo I, ruling around 680, and a Duke Theodo II, reigning in the early eighth century. Theodo I is associated with events involving Saint Emmeram, Uta and Lantpert, while Theodo II is associated with Saints Corbinian and Rupert, the ecclesiastical organization and the division of the Duchy. However, no contemporary source indicates a distinction between different Dukes of that name.

To complicate matters even further, Bavarian tradition has referred to Theodo I and Theodo II as Theodo IV and Theodo V respectively to differentiate them from legendary Agilolfing ancestors Theodo I to III, all who would have reigned before 550.

Adalhelm of Autun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adalhelm of Autun was a Frankish nobleman of the 8th and 9th centuries from the Wilhelmid family, son of Thierry IV and the Carolingian Alda.

He was called as a witness in the charters of the foundation of the abbey of Gellone by his brother William, 15 December 804. Two other brothers signed these charters: Theodoen and a Thierry who is not mentioned in any charters.

That is the only ascertainable information about Adalhelm himself. On the basis of onomastics, two children have been assigned to him:

Waldrada, wife of Adrian, Count of Orléans, count palatine of the Agilolfing family, brother of Hildegard, wife of Charlemagne.
Bernard I , count of Poitiers in 815 and in 825.

Family/Spouse: d'Autun, Waldrade. Waldrade (daughter of d'Autun, Adalhelm) was born in 783 in Schwaben, Chemnitzer Land, Sachsen, Germany; died on 15 Feb 824 in Orléans, Loiret, Centre, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hildegard of the Vinzgau was the daughter of Count Gerold of Kraichgau (founder of the Udalriching family) and his wife Emma (who was the daughter of Duke Nebe (Hnabi) of Alemannia and Hereswintha vom Bodensee of Lake Constance). She was born about 757 in Ravensburg, Kraichgau, the only daughter of the family, she had four brothers.

In 771, at the age of 12 or 12, Hildegard married Charlemagne, becoming his 2nd wife. They had a close marriage. Hildegard often accompanied him on military campaigns and traveling for state occasions. In the 12 years of their marriage Hildegarde had 8 pregnancies resulting in 9 children:
- Charles the Younger b.c. 772, Duke of Maine, King of the Franks
- Adalhaid (774), who was born whilst her parents were on campaign in Italy. She was sent back to Francia, but died before reaching Lyons
- Rotrude (or Hruodrud) (775–6 June 810)
- Carloman, renamed Pepin b. 777, King of Italy
- Louis (778–20 June 840), twin of Lothair, King of Aquitaine, King of the Franks/co-emperor in 813, senior Emperor from 814
- Lothair (778–6 February 779/780), twin of Louis, died in infancy
- Bertha (779–826)
- Gisela (781–808)
- Hildegarde (782–783)

Hildegard died on 30 April 783, from the after effects of her last childbirth. She was buried the following day (1 May 783) in the Abbey of Saint-Arnould in Metz. The child, named Hildegarde after her mother, died in 783 also. Even Pope Adrian I expressed condolences to Charlemagne upon hearing of her death.
At Charlemagne's request candles were burned near her grave and prayers said daily for her soul.

Hildegarde was well respected during her lifetime, she was a friend of Saint Leoba, and although never canonized herself was regarded locally as a saint throughout the Middle Ages, often depicted with an aureola.
She traveled often with Charlemagne and the children and was in Rome with them in 780 when Carloman (Pepin) and Louis were made kings. When not traveling with her husband, Hildegard ruled the court in his absence.

Hildegard (wife of Charlemagne)

Hildegard (* approx. 758; † April 30, 783 in Diedenhofen an der Mosel) was the third wife of Charlemagne and mother of Ludwig the Pious. Little information can be found about her life, because like all of Karl's wives she was in the political background and was only mentioned in relation to her wedding, her death and as a mother

She was the daughter of the Frankish Count Gerold from the Geroldon family and Imma, daughter of the Alemannic Count Hnabi and Hereswintha from Lake Constance. Her father owned extensive possessions in the territory of Karl's younger brother Karlmann, which makes this marriage one of Karl's most important long-term relationships, as he was able to strengthen his position in the areas east of the Rhine and bind the Alemannic nobility to himself. Among the Hildegard siblings, the adviser of Charlemagne stands out, the military leader Gerold the Younger, who was also mentioned as Count in der Baar and in Nagoldgau

Since Hildegard's exact dates of birth are not available, it can be assumed that she was between 12 and 14 years old at the time. A marriage at this age was not unusual at the time, as the marriageable age was fixed at sexual maturity. In Roman law, which was widely accepted by the church, the minimum age for marriage for girls was set at 12 years

Hildegard died on April 30th, 783 shortly after the birth of her last daughter and was buried on May 1st in the Abbey of Sankt Arnulf in Metz. It was Karl's wish that candles should always be lit on her grave and that prayers should be said for the deceased every day

Although Karl already had a son by his first wife, in the will of 806 (Divisio Regnorum) the empire was divided among the three sons of Hildegard who reached adulthood. Because her son Ludwig the Pious succeeded Karl as emperor, Hildegard was called the "mother of kings and emperors"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne#Wives,_concubines,_and_children

Hildegard married of the Holy Roman Empire, King Charlemagne in 771. Charlemagne (son of of the Franks, King Peppin III and de Laon, Queen Bertrada II) was born on 2 Apr 742 in Ingelheim am Rhein, Mainz-Bingen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; was christened on 5 Apr 752 in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France; died on 28 Jan 814 in Aachen, Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany; was buried on 9 Feb 814 in Aachen Cathedral, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.

Notes:

CORRECT INFORMATION:-

Udalrich came from the Alemannic GEROLD-UDALRICH clan and was the brother-in-law of Emperor CHARLES THE GREAT. It appeared in the sources for the first time in 778. Notker reports that Udalrich fell out of favor with KARL after Hildegard's death and lost all fiefs, but the king reversed his sentence out of consideration for his beloved, late wife.
Bebo (Pepo), Gerold, Udalrich and Robert are attested as sons of Count Udalrich in a deed of donation from the year 803 to the Fulda monastery, i.e. they were brothers.
