Lambert, Count of Hesbaye


Lambert (669–742), Count of Haspengau (Hesbaye). The identity of Lambert's father remains uncertain, but the prevailing theories identify him as either Robert II (Chrodobert II), Lord Chancellor of France, or a son of Robert's.

Lambert was possibly married to Chrotlind, daughter of Theodoric III, King of Neustria and Austrasia. Lambert (and Chrotlind?) had three children:

Upon his death, Lambert was succeeded as Count of Hesbaye by his son Robert.
