See Henry site for discussion.[1] Baldwin states that her place of birth is unknown. [1] Cawley identifies it as Thionville, Moselle. [3] Some popular genealogies identify her birthplace as Aachen, but this may simply be conjecture based on her husband's seat of government.[2] Parents Baldwin: She was the daughter of Gerold, who probably died between 784 and 786, count in Alemannia. Gerold is not directly documented as the father of Hildegarde, but he is documented a husband of Imma, and the fact that Hildegarde had a brother named Gerold confirms the connection.[1] Cawley: Her father was Gerold I, Graf im Kraichgau (Udalrichinger) [4] Richardson: Hildegarde was the daughter of Gerold I, Count in Vinzgau, by Imma (or Emma), daughter of Count Nebi (or Hnabi). [5] Cawley: Her mother was Imma (d. 798; p. Nebe "Hnabi," Duke of Alemannia and Hereswint). [6] Baldwin: Hildegarde's mother was Imma, who died in 798, daughter of Nebi, count in Alemannia.[1] 771 Marriage to Charlemagne Before 30 April 771 Hildegarde married Charlemagne as his second wife. [5] She married before 30 Apr 771 Charles I (Charlemagne), King of the Franks (p. Pepin "le Bref" and Bertrada (Berta) "au Grand Pied") [7] Hildegarde married between 1 May 770 and 30 April 772 Charlemagne. He was born probably 2 April 748 and died 28 January 814. [1] 783 Death and Burial Hildegarde died 30 April 783 and is buried at Metz[1]at the église abbatiale de Saint-Arnoul. [3] Her place of death was Thionville, Moselle, Lorraine, France [2] Issue Hildegarde and Charlemagne had four sons, Charles, Pepin (King of Italy), Louis I (King of Aquitaine, Emperor) and Lothair, and five daughters, Adelaide (or Adelheid), Rotrude, Berthe, Gisele, and Hildegarde.
