Berthe, Princess of Paris, also Bertha, Queen of Kent, (539-c.612) was one of Charibert's daughters. In marrying the pagan King Aethelbert of Kent, she brought her chaplain Liudhard with her, and restored a Christian church in Canterbury, which dated form the Roman occupation, dedicating it to St. Martin. The present St. Martin's at Canterbury occupies the same site. Saint Augustine, who was sent by Gregory the Great to preach the Gospel in England in 596, owed much of his favourable reception there to the influence of Berthe.
She seems to have had two children with Aethelbert:
Eadbald of Kent
Ethelberg of Kent
Berthe also married Ausbert ap CLODIUS and had another child:
Arnoldus AUSBERTSSON
