Hildegard (758 - 30 April 783) was the Germanic daughter of count Gerold of Vinzgau (Vinzgouw) and Emma of Alamannia, daughter of Hnabi, Duke of Alamannia. She was the second wife of Charlemagne,[1] who married her about 771. They had the following children: Charles, (772 or 773-811), Count of Maine from 781, joint King of the Franks with Charlemagne from 800 Adelaide (773 or 774) Pippin (773 or 777-810), born Carloman and later renamed at baptism, king of Italy from 781 Rotrude (or Hruodrud) (777-810) Louis the Pious, king of Aquitaine from 781, emperor from 813 (sole Emperor from 814) until 840 Lothair, twin brother of Louis, died young in 780 Bertha (779-823?) Gisela (781-808?) Hildegarde (782-783?) References ^ As described by historians such as Pierre Riché (The Carolingians, p.86.), Lewis Thorpe (Two Lives of Charlemagne, p.216) and others. Other historians list Himiltrude, described by Einhard as a concubine, as Charlemagne's first wife, and reorder his subsequent wives; accordingly Hildegard is sometimes numbered as his third wife.
