Then he married her sister Hildegard they had no children. Ben M. Angel comments: Unfortunately "Stoyan" doesn't cite any sources for his information. FMG maintains as yet that there is no marital connection or children. From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Carolingian Kings covering her birth family - her mother was Ermengard :.

Hildegard is named as sister of Charles by Nithard[]. She supported her brother Lothaire against her half-brother Charles and, in Oct , imprisoned Adalgar at Laon. After Laon was besieged, she surrendered Adalgar but was herself released by her half-brother. The Annales Formoselenses record the death in of "Hildegard, Lothawici regis filia"[], corroborated in the Annales Alemannici[].

Her marriage is deduced from a charter in which Gisela states that their eldest son Unruoch brought back the body of Eberhard from Italy[].

The Annales S. Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names Charles as son of his father by his second wife[]. The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "rex Francorum qui et imperator Romanorum" which appears to indicate Charles II "le Chauve" gave his sister in marriage to "vir nobilissimo genere decoratus", that the couple had two sons to whom their uncle gave "in Alemannia loca…Potamum et Brigantium, Ubirlingin et Buochorn, Ahihusin et Turingen atque Heistirgou, Wintirture…et in Retia Curiensi Mesouch", and that one of the sons returned to France while the other "Oudalricus" retained all the property in Alamannia[].

The information has not been corroborated in any earlier primary source, although it is not known what prior documentation may have been available to the compiler of the Casus. There are several other difficulties with this marriage which suggest that the report in the Casus should be treated with caution. If the information is accurate, it is likely that the bride was a full sister of King Charles, although if this is correct her absence from contemporary documentation is surprising.
