As Bernard is her only identifiable child, Rothaide may have died during his birth, and Charles quickly remarried to Suanachilde of Bavaria.
The fact that her name Ruadheid was included in the names of of the litany of the Liber confraternitatum augiensis is the strongest indication that Rothaide was a legitimate wife of Charles Martel and not merely a concubine.

Buried at the Abbey of St Gertrude at Nivelles

Father (probably) – Bernard of Austrasia (link)
Mother (probably) – Gisela of Laon (link)

Himiltrude was perhaps the daughter of Bernard of Austrasia and thus the granddaughter in the illegitimate line of Charles Martel
If this identification is correct then her mother was Gisela of Laon, Bernard’s first wife
Other possibilities for Himiltrude’s father include Carloman I or Grimpert I of Paris, though as her son Pepin left a son named Bernard it would seem that Himiltrude being a
granddaughter of Charles Martel is more likely. She was therefore her husband’s first cousin
Himiltrude became the first wife (c761) of Charles I the Great (Charlemagne) (link)

Eadgifu (Adiva) of England
Anglo-Saxon princess
Born (919) - Died (after 940)

Father - Edward the Elder (link)
Mother - Eadgifu of Kent (link)

NOTE :
This lady was confusingly named after her mother (having an elder half-sister of the same name)
Genealogies name this lady as the wife of 'Louis of Aquitaine'
She was once thought to be the third wife of the former Emperor Louis III of Arles (880 - 928)
This identification has now been proved incorrect
However, the character of Queen Edgive of Arles in the novel Avalon (1966) by Anya Seton had added to the confusion

Under the name of 'Adiva' she had been identified (1967) as the wife of Boleslav II of Bohemia (925 - 999) but the chronology appears flawed
Likewise the attempt to identify Eadgifu with Adela of Ufgau, the first wife of Conrad I the Peaceful, King of Burgundy (d 993) does not bear close scrutiny

Children :


NOTE 1 :
The assertion that Louis was married firstly (c900) to the Byzantine princess Anna, daughter of Emperor Leo VI (886 – 912) has now been debunked as fiction
A betrothal may certainly have been arranged but no marriage is recorded in the sources nor is there any record of Anna as empress and queen consort.

NOTE 2 :
The assertion that Louis was married thirdly (c924) to Edgiva of England, daughter of Edward the Elder has now been disproved
Queen Edgiva appears as character in the novel Avalon (1966) by British author Anya Seton. This has only added to the genealogical confusion.
Actually no such lady can be definitely attested from any sources, either Anglo-Saxon or from the Continent.

She was appointed as Abbess of Avenay near Paris (before 847)

Sources which make Bertha the illegitimate child of Lothair and his concubine Doda remain incorrect
