Cunigundis Also Known As: "Lady Cinguard of Laon", "Conigunda", "Cunegonde", "Cunégonde", "Cunigunda", "Cunigunde", "Kunigonde", "Kunigunda", "Kunigunde", "Cunigunda of Laon", "Cunigundis des Francs" Birthdate: circa 795 Birthplace: Bohain-en-Vermandois, Aisne, Picardy, France Death: after June 15, 835 Milano, Lombardy, Italy Place of Burial: Italy Immediate Family:
Wife of Bernard, King of Lombardy
Mother of
Pépin II, lord of Péronne
Occupation: Queen of Lombardy My Heritage Queen Kunigunda of Italy (born Cunegonde), 797 - 835 Kunigunda of Italy (born Cunegonde) was born in 797, in birth place, to Willem I Gellone and Cunego Gellone (born van Withburge van Austrasië). Willem was born in 752. Cunego was born in 770. Kunigunda had 4 siblings: Heribert van Orange and 3 other siblings. Kunigunda married Bernhard van Italie (Karolinger). Bernhard was born circa 797, in Vermandois, Picardy, Frankrijk. His occupation was Koning van Italie. They had 3 sons: Pepijn II van Vermandois and 2 other children. Kunigunda passed away on month day 835, at age 38 in death place
Since she was married in 813 or 815, a birth year of 795 would make her 18 or 20 at her marriage.
«b»Parents and Ancestry«/b»
Her parents are unknown.
The origin of Cunigundis is not known. Settipani suggests that she was Cunigundis, daughter of Héribert, relative of St Guillaume Comte de Toulouse in order to explain the transmission of the name Héribert into the family of Bernard King of Italy. This is highly speculative. It would also mean that Héribert was older than suggested in the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY, as it is unlikely that Cunigundis was born later than 800 assuming that the birth date of her son is correctly estimated at 815.
Her father might have been Heribert (780/785 - after 843, speculated as son of William of Gellone) and Heribert's unknown wife. This possibility was proposed by Christian Settipani, and supported by Cawley/FMG and the French Wikipedia.
Or her father might have been Adelgis, Count of Parma, and his unknown wife. This option is supported by "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists, 7th Edition", by Frederick Lewis Weis.
Her parents and origins are not known, but her name recalls Cunegonde, wife of William of Gellone, and mother of Heribert, which would explain the appearance of the name among the descendants of Bernard.
«b»Marriage«/b»
About 815 she married Bernard, King of Italy.
Cawley places the year of Cunigundis' marriage as 813, and names Bernard's parents as Pepin I, King of Italy and his mistress Chrothais. Wikipedia (French) also gives 813 as the approximate date that Bernard married a certain Cunégonde.
«b»Death«/b»
Kunigunde died after 15 June 835. Settipani refers to an act of the monastery of San Alessandro, Parma dated 15 Jun 835 which names her. Her deceased husband Bernard and her son Pépin are named in the charter.
«b»Issue«/b»
They had one child, Pépin/Pippin, b. 815, d. after 840, count (near Paris). He became Pepin I de Vermandois, Seigneur de Péronne et de Saint-Quentin and Comte near Paris.

=== Royal Ancestry Biography ===
“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“BERNARD, King of Italy, 812/13-817, illegitimate son, born about 797. He married CUNEGONDE ___. They had one son, [Count] Pépin (or Pippin). In 817 Emperor Louis divided the administration of the Empire; his eldest son Lothair was given Italy with the title of emperor. Bernard, though apparently not dispossessed, was not included. Bernard revolted against Louis, with the support of several of his father's Frankish followers in Italy. The revolt failed, and Louis had Bernard tried at Aachen and blinded. BERNARD, King of Italy, died 17 April 818. In 835 his widow, Cunegonde, founded the monastery of Santo Alessandro of Parma (date of her charter).
Affo Storia della Città di Parma 1 (1792): 283-285 (charter of Cunigonde, widow of King Bernard: "Ideo ego in Dei nomine Cunicunda relicta quondam Bernardi inclite regis, cogitans pro mercedem & remedium anime seniori meo Bernardi vel mea, seu filio meo Pippino, ...
