Ermentrude of France

Ermentrud (* probably around 870/875 ) was the eldest child of the West Frankish king Louis the Stammerer from his second marriage, the marriage to Adelaide of Friuli. She was the half-sister of the later kings Louis III. and Carloman, and the older sister of King Charles the Simple.

To Ermentruds life almost nothing is known in contemporary sources do not occur. Their meaning is only from a originating from the 11th century Tabula Genealogica the Carolingians, by which it is recognized as great-grandmother of the Empress Cunegonde of Luxembourg, which in turn Kunigunde descent occupied by the Carolingians.

From this information, it follows that Ermentrud was married, without that something is known about the husband, the wedding is believed to 888. Ermentrud had made ​​this marriage a daughter ( siblings are not reported ), which also Cunegonde was called (* 888/895; † after 923 ) in a second marriage with Count Richwin of, and who was married to his first marriage with the later Palatine Wigerich, Verdun.

Hlawitschka suspected Reginar long neck as husband Ermentruds, which in turn would have the consequence that Ermentrud " probably 892 " died because Reginar for a (second) marriage is witnessed that. Albrada with, from the later Duke of Lorraine Giselbert emerged This assumption is controversial, particularly those historians who see Giselbert as the third husband of Ermentruds daughter Cunegonde and thus a close relationship between Giselbert and Cunegonde ( half-siblings with the same father) must be ruled out.
