Ingerman, Count of Hesbaye

Ingerman married Rotrude, of unknown parentage. Ingerman and Rotrude had one daughter:

  • Ermengarde.[1] She married into the Frankish royal family, the Carolingians and was the first wife of King Louis the Pious, Son of Charlemagne.

Primary sources mentioning Ingoram

There seems to be only one primary source directly mentioning Ingoram.

In a medieval life story of Emperor Louis the Pious, by Thegan of Trier, Louis's wife Ermengarde is said to be a daughter of the noble duke Ingorammus, who was son of a brother of Hruotgangi "sancti pontificis".[2] This in turn is believed to refer to Saint Chrodegang, the Bishop of Metz.

Chrodegang in turn was named in one medieval record as having parents who were nobles from Hasbania (Hesbaye).[3]

gollark: So... every year, 3% of your population sits university exams? That seems... kind of high.
gollark: That was a rhetorical question. I can open DuckDuckGo extremely fast.
gollark: Seriously? *What* is Turkey's population?
gollark: Unless you have really weird exams.
