Fredegar names Nibelung as son of Childebrand, specifying that he was the continuator of work on the chronicle after his father died. An approximate birth date range of [705/20] is assigned to Nibelung for the purposes only of narrowing the possible birth date ranges of his supposed descendants. A charter dated Apr 754 records a claim by “Fulchardus advocatus...Nivelongo comiti” before “Theoderico comiti” relating to property “in pago Augustidunense in villa Balgiaco...de villa Patriciaco” granted to “Hildebranno” by “Karolus”. “Acbertum et Godebertum missos domini regis Karoli” gave judgment in favour of the abbot of Saint-Vincent and Saint-Germain relating to “silvam...in pago Milidunense in loco...Monte Adraldo”, against “Autbertum comitem” who had unlawfully retained the property which had previously been held by “Hildebrandus comes et filius suus Nevelongus” and had been donated by Charles I King of the Franks to Saint-Germain, by charter dated 14 Aug 791. A charter dated to [866/75], relating to a dispute between "Vulfaldum episcopum” and “Heccardum comitem" concerning land at Perrecy (which the bishop unsuccessfully claimed as property of the church of Bourges), heard before "Leudo episcopus et Adelardus comes missi dominici in comitatu Augustidunense", refers to a charter "de temporibus domni Pipini regis sive de nomen Nivelongi" which allegedly stated that the last-named held the property from Bourges church. ¹
