  Notes	From Wikipedia: Hugobert (also Chugoberctus or Hociobercthus) (died probably in 697) was a seneschal and a count of the palace at the Merovingian court during the reigns of Theuderic III and Childebert III. Research Notes We merged 8 profiles into this one profile. We also merged the wives into one profile. It has been disproven that he is one and the same with bishop Hugobert of Liège, because his wife appears in the records of Echternach in the year 698 as a widow. He was married to Irmina of Oeren, who, shortly after his death, made possible the founding of the Abbey of Echternach. Irmina was sister to Adela of Pfalzel, founder of the convent Pfalzel, who is frequently confused with her daughter of the same name. He last appears in a royal charter dated 14 March 697. Some internet trees show him married to his sister-in-law by mistake. Titles Merovingian count (comes palatii)[1] Parents Hugobert's parents are Unknown. From Wikipedia: He was a grandson of the dux Theotar, and it is assumed, but not proven, that his father was Chugus, who in 617 became mayor of the palace of Austrasia. The juxtaposition of names in the Vita Landiberto episcopi Traiectensis may imply a relationship between him and the family of Saint Lambert Marriage m. Irmina UNKNOWN, Abbess of Oeren. Issue: 1 known[2] Plectrudis m. (670/5) Pepin II d'Heristal Wikipedia expands on this: Hugobert and Irmina had several daughters, including: Plectrude, 691/717 witnessed, the first wife of Pippin of Herstal and founder of the Abbey St. Maria im Kapitol in Cologne Adela (655-732), abbess of Pfalzel, married to Eudes I, Duke of Aquitaine (questionable Odo the Great and son of Saint Oda) Regintrud, whose second marriage after the death of her husband was to the duke Theudebert of Bavaria Irmina (d. ca 704), married to Chariveus, brother of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye. Other children frequently attributed to Hugobert and Irmina include the following who are likely a generation removed: Chrodelinda, who was likely the daughter of Irmina and Chiriveus. She married Wido, Abbot of Saint Wandrile. Their son Warnhar was Count of Horbach and was the patriarch of the Widonids. Bertrada of Prüm (b. c. 670, d. after 721), the founder of the Prüm Abbey and mother of count Caribert of Laon, who was father of Bertrada of Laon, who in turn was mother of Charlemagne. Sources Wikipedia: Hugobert this is for this profile, the senechal. It has one source, but a good one. Settipani, Christian (1990), "Addenda aux "Ancêtres de Charlemagne", 1990" (PDF) Settipani is a known historian and genealogist and is highly regarded for his exacting work. http://worldancestors.blogspot.com/2011/06/interview-with-christian-settipani.html and has been described as "Settipani (1989) is the main authority on the genealogy of the Merovingian and Carolingian Kings of France." Wikipedia: Hubertus this is not for this profile but a similar named person in a similar time period. This is the bishop. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANKSMaiordomi.htm#PlectrudisMPepin
