Notes

the consensus among modern genealogists is that this cannot be correct,

and that his father was instead BAUDGISE, as stated in several

independent sources of later date. In Settipani's "Les ancestres de

Charlemagne", it is argued that ARNOLD was actually his father-in-law.

Weis' "Ancestal Roots . . ." (190:8) has him as the son of Duke BAUDGISE

II.

Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners" (53:45) & (171:46), identify him as the

father of ST. CLODOULE.

The Hull University project contributes the following biography :

Feast day, 19 August. This Arnulf (Arnoul) passed his earlier life at

the court of Theodebert II, king of Austrasia; through the marriage of his

elder son with a daughter of Pepin of Landen (St. Begga), he became an

ancestor of the Carolingian dynasty. At the age of thirty, he wanted to

retire from public life, but instead in 614 he was chosen Bishop of Metz,

though still a layman. He continued to act as adviser to King Chlotar II,

whom he had helped to the Frankish throne, and was tutor to his son

Dagobert. Arnulf made further attempts to resign his offices, but it was

not till 629 that he was able to retire to the Vosges mountains. Here his

friend St. Romaric had preceded him and begun the monastic community

at Habend that was later called Remiremont. St. Arnulf settled near by,

and lived there till his death twelve years later.
