The Annales Laurissenses record the marriage in 783 at Worms of King Charles and "domne Fastradĉ regina". Einhard's Annals record the king's marriage in 783 to "filiam Radolfi comitis natione Francam, nomine Fastradam". Fastrada, wife of King Charles, is referred to as "de Orientalium Francorum, Germanorum videlicet" by Einhard. Her cruelty triggered the revolt of her husband's illegitimate son Pépin "le Bossu" in 792. The Annales Xantenses record the death in Frankfurt in 794 of "Fastrada regina". Einhard records the death in 794 of "Fastrada regina" at Frankfurt and her burial "Mogontiaci apud sanctum Albanum". Theodulf wrote the epitaph of "Fastradĉ reginĉ". 1
