Rotrude of Hesbaye
Rotrude (Chrodtrudis) (died 724) was the first wife of Charles Martel, Mayor of the Palace and de facto ruler of Francia from 718 to 741.
She was the mother of Pepin the Short, King of the Franks, and therefore the grandmother of Charlemagne.
Rotrude is believed to be the daughter of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye, although this designation is not without controversy, as discussed below.
She is also referred to as Rotrude of Treves.
Traditionally, the information available about the family background of Rotrude was the indication that Wido (Guy), Count of Hornbach and Lay Abbot of Fontenelle, was a "propinquus" of Martel.
This kinship term, vague enough, means a close relationship with women: a brother, a cousin by women or a cousin by marriage.
Wido is the brother of Milo, Bishop of Trier, and son of Saint Leudwinus, Bishop of Trier.
Christian Settipani, in his work on the ancestors of Charlemagne, details an analysis by Anton Halbedel, first issued in 1915, and echoed by historians Jean Depoin, Maurice Chaume and Szabolcs de Vajay.
According to this analysis, the word "propinquus" implies "brother", so that Wido was Rotrude’s brother.
Rotrude has therefore often been identified as the daughter of Saint Leudwinus.
However, in Settipani’s Addendum to the Ancestors of Charlemagne, he returns to this problem, reflecting thoughts of medieval history professor Richard Gerberding, who believed that Rotrude’s background was related directly to the Robertians.
He noted that Charles Martel had three wives and that Wido may be a relative of the other two.
Settipani concludes that Rotrude was the daughter of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye, and so sister of Robert I, Duke of Neustria.
In addition, Rotrude’s sister was named and was married to Sigramnus, Count of Hesbaye.
Landrada and Sigramnus were parents of Saint Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz.
Note that Rotrude and Charles had daughter also named Landrade, who is often erroneously identified as the wife of Sigramnus.
Rotrude and Charles had five children:
After Rotrude’s death in 724, Charles married Swanachild and had one child Grifo.
Charles also had a mistress Ruodhaid with whom he had numerous children.
Bonosus of Trier
Bonosus of Trier( fl. c. 353–373) was bishop of Trier.
After the exile in 353 of Bishop Paulinus of Trier to Phrygia an episcopal election was held in which Bonosus was elected bishop of Trier: he refused however to take up the post, perhaps because he was convinced that Paulinus was still the rightful bishop of Trier and therefore could not be replaced.
The Emperor, Constantius II, was so angry that he let Bonosus be put in jail.
Only after the death of Paulinus in 358( or possibly in 361, after the death of the Emperor) did Bonosus take office as bishop.
He was also involved in the fight against Arianism.
His tomb was located temporarily in in Trier but is now in St. Paulinus' Church.
In the diocese of Trier Bonosus is revered as a saint with a feast day on 17 February.

Britto of Trier
Britto of Trier( fl. 374–386) was bishop of Trier.
Gunderich of Trier
Gunderich of Trier, also Gundwich( fl. c. 600) was a bishop of Trier, born in the 6th century.
Gunderich may well have become bishop of Trier as early as 586/588; he apparently remained bishop until his death some time before 614.
He is known only from a bishops' list, in which he is placed after Magnerich,: he was therefore the second bishop of Trier of Germanic origin.
Otherwise, little is known about him.
However, if he was a disciple of Magnerich he probably had access to the court of the German kings.
He was reportedly buried after his death in Trier Cathedral.
Nicetius
Saint Nicetius( c.525- c.566) was a bishop of Trier, born in the latter part of the fifth century, exact date unknown; died in 563 or more probably 566.
Iamblichus of Trier
Iamblichus of Trier also known as Jamblichus or Jamblychus was a 5 th- century bishop of Trier from 475/ 476.
Charles Martel
Charles Martel (688 – 22 October 741) was a Frankish statesman and military leader who, as Duke and Prince of the Franks and Mayor of the Palace, was the "de facto" ruler of Francia from 718 until his death.
He was a son of the Frankish statesman Pepin of Herstal and Pepin's mistress, a noblewoman named Alpaida.
Charles successfully asserted his claims to power as successor to his father as the power behind the throne in Frankish politics.
Continuing and building on his father's work, he restored centralized government in Francia and began the series of military campaigns that re-established the Franks as the undisputed masters of all Gaul.
According to a near-contemporary source, the "Liber Historiae Francorum", Charles was "a warrior who was uncommonly  effective in battle".
Much attention has been paid to his success in defeating an Arab invasion in Aquitaine at the Battle of Tours.
Alongside his military endeavours, Charles has been traditionally credited with a seminal role in the development of the Frankish system of feudalism.
At the end of his reign, Charles divided Francia between his sons, Carloman and Pepin.
The latter became the first king of the Carolingian dynasty.
Charles' grandson, Charlemagne, extended the Frankish realms, and became the first emperor in the West since the fall of Rome.

Ratbod (archbishop of Trier)
Radbod( or Ratbod)( died 915) was the Archbishop of Trier from 883 until his death.
Under the last Carolingians he obtained a great deal of benefits and converted the archdiocese of Trier into one of the most powerful institutions in Germany.
In 898, Radbod received complete immunity from all taxes for the entire episcopal territory from Zwentibold.
He obtained from Louis the Child the district and city of Trier, as well as the right to have a mint and impose customs duties.
From Charles the Simple he gained the right of free election for his diocese of Trier.
In this way the secular possessions of the bishops of Trier, which had sprung from the valuable donations of the Merovingian, were raised to a secular principality
