      Research Notes
      Moriarty in his handwritten manuscript titled The Ancestry of King Edward III and Queen Philippa, has the wife of Girard I, Count of Paris 743-775 as "Rotrou, perhaps a dau of Karloman (d. 754) son of Karl Martel"[12] but it's not clear what source this information may have originated, from, but possibly from Chaume, Les origines du duché de Bourgogne, Volume 1. Roderick W. Stuart in his Royalty for Commoners, also has the same information but without any indication that it is uncertain.[13] Again it isn't clear what source he is using, but probably Moriarty's manuscript.

      Christian Settipani also points out that Chaume had made Carloman the ancestor of various families through some supposed children, including Chrothrudis de Paris,[14]
