Chrodbert I
Chrodebert I (Chrotbert, Radobertus, Robert I) (died 695), Merovingian referendarie (as Chrotbert, 660–695), son of Charibert de Haspengau and his wife Wulfgurd. Robert and his brothers Erlebert and Aldebert were the ancestors of the Robertians.[citation needed]
Robert began his career as a referendary to Dagobert I, the last powerful king of the Merovingian dynasty, and his son Clovis II. He was the Mayor of the Palace of Burgundy (as Radobertus) from 642 to 662)[citation needed] and possibly that of Neustria during the interregnum of Ebroin. He may have been Bishop of Paris, but there is little evidence to support this.
Robert had two children:
- Lambert I of Hesbaye
- Saint Angadrisma, married to Ansbert of Rouen
Lambert was the grandfather of count palatine Chrodbert.[1]
