[1] In identifying her, Stewart Baldwin cites Christian Settipani, (1993), 211-2, who states that her name is provided by a litany of Reichenau (n. 144), and states that she was "no doubt a close relative of Adalhard de Corbie and his half-brother Wala, the future protectors of Bernhard of Italy. ("sans doute proche parente d'Adalhard de Corbie et de son demi-frère Wala, les futurs protecteurs de Bernhard d'Italie.") [1] Issue Chrothais was the mother of Bernard, King of Italy. [2] Cawley names Bernard's parents as Pepin I, King of Italy and his mistress Chrothais [2] Richardson states that "by his mistress" Pepin, born Carloman, had one illegitimate son, Bernard, King of Italy.
