"temoin Prum 721"; dotted line son of Bernhar & Chrodlindis is Theoderic,
"temoin Prum 721", and his dotted line son Theoderic, relative by alliance
("propinquus") of the king in 782. [WTM: shown on p176 with Chrodlindis as
dotted line daughter of Bertrada, not sister] [Ref: Settipani Capet p175]
The traditions of Merovingian descent for this family are [based] on an
alternative parentage for Bertha and her kin. Chaume argues that Bertha (the
elder), Plectrude, and the other siblings were instead children of one of the
Merovingian kings. This proposal has since largely fallen out of favor.
[Ref: Todd Farmerie SGM 11/15/1999]
The ancestry of Berta, merovingian or not, can be the subject of a lenghty
book. But in a few words, I can give the reason which make probable, for
Chaume (who nerver make of Plectrude a merovingian princess), and others,
including myself, her merovingian affiliation: We know that the villa of
Rommersheim is the common property, inherited of their respective fathers, of
King Pippin and his wife Berta, daughter of count Charibert. So, given
merovingian successoral practice, one person have two children, one being
Pippin's father ancestor and the other Berta's father ancestor. Otherwise, we
know that Rommersheim was previously in the hands of Berta "of Prum" and that
she had in 721 one only surviving son named Charibert.
So the first conclusion is that Berta's son Charibert is the same that
Charibert, father of queen Berta. The second is that Berta of Prum was a kin
of Charles Martel. E. Hlawitschka has build an elaborate theory which make of
Berta the sister of Plectrude, the second wife of Pippin, charles' father. He
denied so merovingian ancestry for Berta. So the standard theory. But this
theory is a misconception. He does so only because he fails to find a
"natural" link between Berta of Prum and Charles Martel on the ground of
ecclesiastical prohibitions. But this failure is due to his inadequate search.
Merovingian blood for Berta is expected for onomastic reasons (her name
, her son's name , her grandson name are all
merovingian names). And this explain the merovingian names given by
Charlemagne to is children (not only first sons, Clovis and Clotaire, but
another son, Theoderic, and a daughter, Clotilde).
A good explanation is that one: The king Theoderic III has a wife Doda. This
Doda could be a daughter of Ansegisel, son of another Doda. So, Ansegisel,
presumably share Rommersheim between his son, Pippin of Herstal and his
daughter Doda, king Theoderic's wife. Then Pippin's son, Charles Martel
inherited that, and so Berta, Doda's daughter. This explain why King Clothar
IV, son of Theoderic III, was called the cousin of Charles Martel in Ademar of
Chabannes' chronicle. [Ref: Christian Settipani SGM 11/16/1999]
