Research Notes:
The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Iudith et Hildegardim, Hirmintrudim et Gislam" as the four daughters of "Karolus imperator
ex Hyrmentrudi regina", specifying that she married "Balduinus comes"
Her first husband placed her "by his own side on the regal throne", contrary to normal practice in the kingdom of Wessex. The Annales Bertiniani record the marriage of "Iudit reginam" and "Adalboldus filius eius [=Edilvulf regis]" in 858 after the death of her first husband. Asser records that when King Ęthelwulf was dead, his son Ęthelbald married Judith daughter of Charles king of the Franks "contrary to God's prohibition and the dignity of a Christian, contrary also to the custom of all the pagans
and drew down much infamy upon himself". The Annales Bertiniani record that Judith returned to her father after the death of her second husband, lived at Senlis "sub tuitione paterna", and from there was abducted by "Balduinum comitem" with the consent of her brother Louis, her father consenting to the marriage the following year. Flodoard names "Balduini comitis et Iudita
Karoli regis filia, Edilvulfo regi Anglorum qui et Edelboldus in matrimonium". 2
