Auda of France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Pipera (talk | contribs) at 04:28, 7 June 2022 (Little is known of her immediate family except that she had two sisters, Hiltrudis and Landrada. Since Hiltrudis is the name of a known daughter of Charles Martel, and a saint's ''vita'' of uncertain reliability gives him another daughter named Landrada, coupled with the fact that Auda's grandson Bernard was referred to by a contemporary as sharing the blood of the Carolingian kings, it has been speculated that Auda too was Martel's daughter..

Auda, Aida, Alda, Aldana or Adalne (722 – before 755?) was wife of Frankish nobleman Thierry IV, count of Autun and mother of Saint William of Gellone.

Marriage and children

She was married to Thierry IV, perhaps a nephew, grandson or grand-nephew of Bertrada of Prüm, in 742 and in 750. From this marriage were born:

  • Theodoen (died before 826), count of Autun, mentioned in 804, whose son Thierry was active in the 810s.
  • Adalhelm
  • William, count of Toulouse and founder of the Abbey of Gellone.
  • Abba and Berta, mentioned as nuns in 804. One of them was probably married to a Nibelungid, Childebrand II or Nibelung II.
