Raedburh de Carolingians 
Raedburh de was born before 0774 in Aachen, Rhineland, Prussia. Raedburh de's father was Pepin III "The Short" King of Franks and her mother was Berthe of Laon. Her paternal grandparents were Charles Martel , Mayor of The Palace of Austrasia and Rotrou of Treves; her maternal grandparents were Canbert I Count of Laon and Bertrada. She had a brother named Charlemagne I Holy Roman. She was the younger of the two children. She had a half-sister named Bertbelle. She died in Wessex, England.General Notes
The ancestry for Raedburh is not at all sure. The following post by Chris Bennet to soc.genealogy.medieval indicates that she was related to Charlemagn in some way:

There is no contemporary source for Egbert's wife. The name "Raedburh" comes from a medieval manuscript quoted by W. G. Searle (Anglo-Saxon Bishops, Kings and Nobles, London 1899, 343) as "MS Trin Coll Oxf x". She is described there as "regis Francorum sororia" which can only be a reference to Charlemagne; however there is no such sister known. Since Egbert was certainly in exile at Charlemagne's court, it is perfectly plausible that he married his wife there. If the tradition has any value, then the best guess is that she was probably a sister-in-law, but she could just as well have been a lady of the Court. Settipani (La prehistoire des Capetiens, 308 n791) is willing to accept the name.
Cheers,
Chris
