line.I think I have seen it mentioned on this newsgroup that thereare nodocumented descents from the Merovingians, and I can certainlysee reasonswhy Charlemagne (or his sucessors) might want to
claim descentfrom theMerovingians. Anyway, can anyone confirm any of this line?Thanks,Richard.--Richard SmithClare College,Cambridge.From: "Todd A. Farmerie" <taf2@@po.cwru.edu>Newsgroups:

Bertrada (not Bertha) mother of Charibert, was daughterof aCount Hugobert.  He was perhaps of Merovingian descent, but noancestryis currently known for him.  (Oh, and by the way, I don't thinkthere
isany support for calling her husband Martin.)taf
