Pepin of Herstal
About this time (682), Hubert married Floribanne, daughter of Dagobert, Count of Leuven. Their son Floribert of Liège later would become Bishop of Liège, for bishoprics were all but accounted as fiefs heritable in the great families of the Merovingian kingdoms. Hubert soon followed his noble peers to the Austrasian court and was warmly welcomed by Pepin of Herstal, Mayor of the palace, who entitled him almost immediately Grand Master of the household.
