Bertha GERULFING of Friesland
- Born: Abt 1058
- Married: 1072
- Died: 30 Jul 1093, Montreuil-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais, France
 Research Notes:
The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum records the marriage of "filiam ducis Frisiæ" and "rex Philippus". The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names (in order) "Theodricum et Florencium…et Machtildim" as children of Count Floris & his wife, specifying that "Machtildim" married "Philippus rex Francie" after the death of her father which indicates that "Machtildim" in this text is an error for Bertha. The Historia Francorum names "filiam Florentii ducis Frisonum Bertam" as wife of King Philippe. Her marriage was arranged as part of the settlement under which her future husband recognised her stepfather as Count of Flanders. Her husband sent her to Montreuil after repudiating her. 1
