  Rotrude (Chrodtrudis) (or Crotude, Chrotrude, or Ruadtrud; died 724) wa s t h e f i r st wife of Charles Martel, Mayor of the Palace and de facto ru le r o f F r a ncia from 718 to 741. She was the mother of Pepin the Short, K i n g o f t h e Franks, and therefore the grandmother of Charlemagne. Rotrud e i s b e l i eved to be the daughter of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye, although t h i s d e s ignation is not without controversy. She is also referred to as R o t r u d e of Treves.
