Description
Gertrude’s biography begins with her father hosting a banquet when Gertrude was ten years old. That the king accepted Pippin’s invitation to the dinner at all shows Pippin’s power and standing as well as that of his family. At this feast, the King asked Gertrude if she would like to marry the “son of a duke of the Austrasians…. for the sake of his worldly ambition and mutual alliance.” Gertrude declined and “lost her temper and flatly rejected him with an oath, saying that she would have neither him nor any earthly spouse but Christ the Lord.”
Marriage alliances were important in this era although scholars disagree as to the extent parents or kings asserted power over spousal choice. The marriage between Gertrude’s sister Begga and Ansegisel helped set the stage for a Carolingian takeover of Austrasia.The marriage of their son Pepin the Middle and Plectrude later secured the lands of Plectrude’s parents Hugobert and Irmina of Oeren between the Rhine, Moselle and Meuse rivers, because Plectrude was an only child.
