    Notes 
    • Ermentrude de France is only named in a few documents. In the Witgeri Genealogia Arnulfi Comitis, written between 951 and 959, she is named as the daughter of Louis II, King of France, and his second wife Adélaïde (Hlodovicus rex genuit ... Karolum quoque posturnum et Irmintrudim ex Adelheidi regina) Her birth date is not recorded but Baldwin estimates a range from 870-877[1]and Settipani a birth date of circa 875, though he states that her mother was Louis II's first wife, Ansgarde of Burgundy.


      Ermentrude was born circa 875 , was the daughter of Louis II le Begue , King of France and his first wife Ansgarde of Burgundy , daughter of Hardouin de Bourgogne.

      She was married to Évrard Sulichgau [ref. needed] and had two daughters:

      Cunégonde , qui en épousa 909 Wigéric ( 890 - 919 ), Comte de Bidgau et Comte de latin Lotharingie , puis en 922 Ricuin , Comte de Verdun († 923).
