I14813: ARNULF of MetzSaint (0582

Notes

Arnulf of Metz b, 582, near Nancy d. 18 July 641, near Remiremont, Feast day, 19 August. This Arnulf (Arnoul) passed his earlier life at the court of Theodebert II, King of Austrasia; through the marriage of his elder son with a daughter of Pepin of Landen (St. Begga), he became an ancestor of the Carolingian dynasty. At the age of thirty, he wanted to retire from public life, but instead in 614 he was chosen Bishop of Metz, though still a layman. He continued to act as adviser to King Chlotar II, whom he had helped to the Frankish throne, and was tutor to his son Dagobert. Arnulf made further attempts to resign his offices, but it was not till 629 that he was able to retire to the Vosges mountains. Here his friend St. Romaric had preceded him and begun the monastic community at Habend that was later called Remiremont. St. Arnulf settled near by, and lived there till his death twelve years later. Src: The Avenel Dictionary of the Saints, Donald Attwater (New York; Avenel Books, 1965).

This is what Settipani tells us in his "Les ancˆtres de Charlemagne". So if
Settipani is correct, Berthe de Prum is a Merovingian Princess.

1. Charlemagne, Roi des Francs 768-800, empereur 800-814.

2. Pepin le Bref, Roi des Francs 751-768.
3. Berthe de Laon, Reine 751-783.

4. Charles Martel, Duc des Francs 717-741.
5. Rotrude

6. Caribert Hardrad de Laon, Comte de Laon.
7. Gisele (?)

8. Pipin d'Herstal, Maire du Palais 688/90-714.
9. Alpaide

10. saint Lievin, eveque de Treves.
11. Willigarde

12. N.N.
13. Berthe de Prum

16. Ansegisel, domestique.
17. Begga, abbesse d'Andenne.

18. Childebrand, dignitaire.

20. Guerin, Comte de Paris 654-676.
21. Gunzie, soeur de Basin ‚eveque de Treves.

22. Theodon, Duc de Baviere 682/690-716.
23. Folchaide, Duchesse de Baviere.

24. Hugobert, s‚n‚chal 693, comte du Palais 697.
25. Irmine, abbesse d'Oeren.

26. Thierry III, Roi de Bourgogne (670 & 673), Roi de France (690-691).
27. Clothilde Dode, Reine des Francs, r‚gente 690/1 - 5 juin 692.

51. N.N.

52. Clovis II, Roi des Francs de Neustrie 640-657.

102. Dagobert I, Roi des Francs 629-639.
103. Ragentrude

104. Dagobert I, Roi des Francs 629-639.
105. Nantilde

The line from Settipani's book is:
1. Sigebert the lame, King of Cologne, dec. 508.
2. Chloderic the parricide, King of Cologne, dec. 509 (got his due).
3. Munderic, Austrasian Pretender, c. 532.
4. Mummolin, at Neustria, 566.
5. Bodogisel, ambassador to Byzantium, 589.
6. Arnulf, dec. 629.
All those people are historically attested. For the construction of the line, see C. Settipani, Les Ancˆtres de Charlemagne_, 1989.

There are two possible positions here: either (as Spencer said) you reject everything beyond Arnulf as unwarranted speculation or you carefully try to look for his ancestors, on the supposition that such a grand person couldn't be a _homus novus_. I take this latter viewpoint and accept Settipani's reconstruction - which he never tried to present as `established fact,' on the cintrary; he even rejects Arnulf as certain, for that! chico

AR: (190-8)
Mayor of the Palace and tutor of Dagobert; Bishop of Metz, 612
This person is on "The Royal Line" chart going back to Joseph of Arimathea and Zarah of the Bible.
