His birth had previously been shown as 768, giving him time to marry twice and have a child before dying at the age of 23.

"Date Estimation

. . . . marry twice and have a child before dying at the age of 3."

Believe that's "23" ?

Adding to previous comment: The date of death is "after Dec. 9, 771." He is noted to be husband of Ermengarde, possibly his second wife per bio notes. I believe date of birth is wrong, since his date of birth would allow him to be only 3 years old at time of marriage (which might be second marriage).

The date of birth is only 2 years before the birth of his son Welf.
