Bertrada (Laon) des Francs (abt.0720-abt.0783) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree
About 743/4 she married Pepin III "le bref," King of the Franks. [3]
Queen of the Franks
When Pepin assumed the Frankish Merovingian Monarchy in 751 Bertrada became Queen of the Franks. [4]
After Pepin's death she lost this title in 768. However she lived at her son Charlemagne's court and their relationship was considered to be excellent. [5]
Death
She died 12 Jun or Jul 783 in Choisy-au-Bac [1][6] and is buried in the église de l'abbaye royale de Saint Denis[7]
According to French historian Léon Levillain, Bertrada was Pepin's first and only wife. [9] However others believe he was also married previously as outlined by Ducret. [10]
Ducret has Pepin married with Leuthberga or Leutbergie and producing 5 children, while Levillain, Settipani, and Tessier have him only married to Bertrada and producing 7 children as noted below. [11]

If the person who has viewed that book, can confirm that, then I would remove all mention of a marriage to Leuthberga (who I can't see is mentioned in the book anyway) or at least put it into research notes.
It appears that all of the merges noted below have been made. Also Laon-24 no longer references Laon-14. Finally the Wikidata article does not appear to be the full source of this profile. The same info shown there is available from a number of other sources.
