Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingoberga
Ingoberga (c. 520 - Tours, 589) was the first wife of the Frankish king Charibert I. Her 
own lineage has not been determined.

Ingoberga and Charibert were the parents of Bertha van Kent, the later wife of king 
Æthelberht of Kent and the initiator of the Christian mission under the Anglo-Saxons 
(the so-called Gregorian mission).

Her marriage was not easy. According to a history of the Franks, "king Charibert 
married Ingoberga, by whom he had a daughter who afterwards married a husband in 
Kent and was taken there. At that time Ingoberga had in her service two daughters of 
a certain poor man, of whom the first was called Marcovefa, who wore the robe of a 
nun, and the other was Merofled. The king was very much in love with them. They 
were, as I have said, the daughters of a worker in wool. Ingoberga was jealous that 
they were loved by the king and secretly gave the father work to do, thinking that 
when the king saw this he would dislike his daughters. While he was working she 
called the king. He expected to see something strange, but only saw this man at a 
distance weaving the king's wool. Upon this he was angry and left Ingoberba and 
married Merofled."[1]
