https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrodbert_(count_palatine_of_Chlothar_III)
Chrodbert (also known as Chrodbert II or Robert II to distinguish him from his great-
uncle known sometimes as Chrodbert I) (d. after 678) was a nobleman from Neustria. 
He was grandson to Chrodbert I, referendary to Clovis II through his son Charibert de 
Haspengau (555-636). Chrodbert was Lord Chancellor[citation needed] during the 
reign of Chlothar III, King of the Franks in Neustria, as well as referendary. He was a 
contemporary of Ansbert of Rouen, who was also a Lord Chancellor[citation needed] 
to Clotaire III. Chrodbert was mentioned as Count palatine (comes palatines) on 2 
October 678.

He was at the court of Clovis II in 654 and opposed Erchinoald, Mayor of the Palace, 
to little avail. He supported Ebroin against Leodegar, who had the latter’s eyes put 
out. He became Count palatine and then chancellor to Clothar III.

Chrodbert married Théodrade (Théoda) and they had many children, some of which are 
likely their grandchildren
Chariivius (Hervé), Nobleman of Hesbaye (some say Count of Laon), married to Irmina, 
daughter of Hugobert. Their son (name unknown) married Bertrada of Prüm, and 
therefore was a great-grandfather of Charlemagne.
Lambert, Count of Hesbaye
Rupert of Salzburg, Bishop of Worms
Chrotgar, Duke of Le Mans, whose son Charivius was an ancestor of the Rorgonids
Lambert, Bishop of Liège
Ragobert (d. 678)
Folchaid, married Theodo of Bavaria.

Settipani identifies the first four of these children as the sons of an unnamed son of 
Chrodbert. However, given the status of these individuals, it seems unlikely that their 
father would have remained unknown. Grimbert, Count palatine, is credited as being a 
son of Chrodbert although there is little evidence to support that. Some histories show 
Lambert, Count of Hesbaye, as son of Chrodbert, others as the son of Hervé. 
Chrodbert is believed to be a direct ancestor of the Robertians who ruled France from 
the eighth century through the reign of Robert II the Pious in the eleventh century.
