after becoming Bishop of Metz he continued his secular activities and was Count of the Palace to Clothaire II and in 623 was made Mayor of the palace to the latter's younger son Dagobert, whose tutor he was [Ref: Moriarty Carolingians p307]

Arnulf was Bishop of Metz 614-29 He withdrew to one of his properties in the Vosges near his friend Romaric (a place later known as Remiremont). He died c.640. The earliest mention of him as the grandfather of Pippin II is in Paul the Deacons _History of the Bps of Metz_ (c.784). This is repeated in Thegan's _life of Louis_ (c.836). However the writer of the so-called _Annales Mettenses priores_ (c.806) only alludes to some sort of relationship between Arnulf and Pippin II: at that time, the tradition of such a descent seems less well established, or well known, unlike a generation later, by which, under Drogo of Metz, the cult of St.Arnulf was in full swing (Louis the Pious, Amalarius of Metz and Drogo himself were all buried at the abbey 840-55). [Ref: exet0133 SGM 1/19/1996]

various later medieval genealogies, and other sources give different accounts of his parentage. One mid-9th century Carolingian genealogy (_Domus Carolingiae genealogia_ I think, MGH, SS II, p309 fl?) gives St.Arnulf's father as Arnoald/Arnald (fr Arnoul). The same source says Arnoald's father was Ansbert _ex genere senatorum_. So *Ansbert* was grandfather of St.Arnulf, not his father.
Another genealogy, this time of the 12th century (Genealogy of 1164, MGH, SS I5, p381-4), also has Arnoald as father of St.Arnulf, but furnishes more (unlikely) details. In this Arnulf's wife is named as Doda daughter of Vibecis Count of Boulogne, and his mother is called Oda, daughter of Gunzo duke of Suabia (this was followed by Meurisse in his Histoire des eveques de Metz, I, 85, and so has passed into some older secondary works).
Finally a third source of the 17th century (Dominicy 1648, SS 13, 248), gives the father of St.Arnulf as Buotgisus.
I think most reputable scholars have chosen to believe that Arnoald was the father of St.Arnulf (eg the article on the saint in the Dictionnaire de le geographie et l'histoire de l'eglise, vol III), but I think the earliest biography of him (_Vita_), which written in either the late 7th or early eighth, does not give his parents, but only says he came from a noble family. Hence the need to find him suitable ancestors. However there was a historical Arnoald who was Bishop of Metz a decade before Arnulf (612/3-27/9) was bishop, and it seems that this is currently the accepted version. [Ref: exet0133 SGM 7/26/1996]
