Cte Charibert DE LAON

  • Born: Between 700 and 705, Laon, Aisne, France
  • Married:
  • Died: Bef 762

  Research Notes:

The editor of Einhard's Annals in the MGH SS series records that "Pippinus…uxoris pater et Avia Charibertus et Bertradana" founded the monastery of Prüm. This is presumably based on the charter dated 23 Jun 720 under which "Bertrada seu Berta et filius meus Chairibertus" donated property to Prüm, witnessed by "Bernarius, Chrodolande, Theodericus", although the charter is probably spurious as it predates the foundation of the abbey.  It is assumed that this refers to the mother of Charibert, father of Queen Bertrada, although another possibility is that it refers to the wife of Charibert and an otherwise unknown son of Charibert, brother of Queen Bertrada.  The Monumenta Epternacensia record a donation by "Berta, filiis meis Chardradus et Harbertus".

Comte de Laon.
