    Notes 
    • Chrotlind is named as the daughter of the Merovingian Theuderic III, King of the Franks and his wife St Amalberga, daughter of Wandregisi and Farahild, and wife of Lambert (sometimes called the II) a possible ancestor of the French Capetian dynasty, whom she married in circa 695. This is in Royalty for Commoners, 2nd edition by Roderick W. Stuart[1] but it's not clear what source is being cited, though it might be Szabolcs de Vajay, "A Propos de l'Ascendance Carolingienne", in Revista de Historia Heraldica, Genealogia e de Artes, vol 7, pp. 288-94, 1966.

      However Chrotlind is not named as a daughter of Theuderic III in any primary sources or even reliable secondary sources, such as Charles Cawley's, Medieval Lands,[2] Christian Settipani's La préhistoire des Capétiens, [3] or in Europäische Stammtafeln, vol. 1(1)[4]

      Nor is she mentioned as the wife of Lambert (II) in reliable secondary sources such as Europäische Stammtafeln vol. 2[5] or Bouchard's Rewriting Saints and Ancestors[6] Charles Cawley also doesn't give any wife for Lambert.[7]

      Consequently it appears that Chrotlind never existed either as a daughter of Theoderich III, or as a wife of Lambert.
