Rothilde (girl of Charles the Bald person)

Rothilde ( Rothildis ), born towards 871, died in 928 or 929, was girl of Charles the Bald person and his second wife Richilde.

Genealogists allotted wrongly a first husband to him, Hugues († 892), count de Bourges, who is in fact the uncle of her Roger husband. Rothilde married towards 890 the count Roger of Maine († 900) and gave rise to:

Hugues I {{er}} († 939/955), count of Maine
a girl, married towards 914 with Hugues Large the, duke of France.
perhaps a girl, named Rothildis, who was abbess of Bouxières-with-Ladies from 937 to 965.

Widow it took the veil and became Abbesse of Chelles. In 922, the king Charles Simple the withdrew this benefit to him to give it to his favorite Haganon. Never a king had before deprived one of its faithful of his honors, except in the event of treason; this insult flashes back on the entourage of Rothilde, in particular on his son and his son-in-law, pushing them with the revolt which ends up relieving Charles the Simple one and placing Robert I {{er}}, the father of Hugues the Large one, on the throne.
