Regintrud
Frankish woman
Regintrud, also known as Reginlind and Regentrud, (born 660–665, died 730–740) was probably the wife of Duke Theodbert of Bavaria or of his father Duke Theodo of Bavaria. A possibly identical Regintrud became abbess of Nonnberg Abbey in 720–725. However, details about her ancestry and life are widely disputed among historians.
According to differing views, Regintrud was either a daughter of King Dagobert I, or of Pfalzgraf Hugobert and Irmina of Oeren, or of Childebert III.
Issue
Assuming she was married with Theudebert of Bavaria, her children from this marriage were:
Hugbert of Bavaria, heir to the duchy
Guntrud, wife of Liutprand
Historians researched inconclusive evidence about further children, such as a daughter named Pilitrud from a previous marriage with an unknown husband. Tassilo II and Swanachild are also suggested as children from her marriage with Theudebert.

Why this record matters
“Regintrud” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Regintrud, Frankish and woman provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1655899. VIAF identifies the subject as 86211229. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
