Birth

Baldwin states that her place of birth is unknown. ^[1] Cawley identifies it as Thionville, Moselle. ^[3] Some popular genealogies identify her birthplace as Aachen, but this may simply be conjecture based on her husband's seat of government.^[2]

Parents

• Baldwin: She was the daughter of Gerold, who probably died between 784 and 786, count in Alemannia. Gerold is not directly documented as the father of Hildegarde, but he is documented a husband of Imma, and the fact that Hildegarde had a brother named Gerold confirms the connection.^[1]
• Cawley: Her father was Gerold I, Graf im Kraichgau (Udalrichinger) ^[4]
• Richardson: Hildegarde was the daughter of Gerold I, Count in Vinzgau, by Imma (or Emma), daughter of Count Nebi (or Hnabi). ^[5]
