Bertrada's seat in Prüm, Germany
Bertrada castle in Mürlenbach, named after Bertrada of Prüm

Bertrada (born c. 670; died after 720), also called BertheorBertree, is known to be the mother of Charibert of Laon, with whom she is co-founder and benefactor of the Prüm Abbey. They founded the abbey in 721.[1]

Through Charibert's daughter Bertrada of Laon, wife of Pippin the Short, Bertrada of Prüm is the great-grandmother of Charlemagne.
