Marriage

The probable reason for the marriage was to solidify a Frankish alliance east of the Rhine when Charles was still fighting the Saxons.

She died during the Synod of Frankfurt.

Her burial was unusual in that almost all the Frankish and French monarchs were buried in the Basilique Saint-Denis. After the destruction of the St Alban's Abbey in 1552, her tombstone was transferred to Mainz Cathedral.
