http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itta
Itta was the wife of the Austrasian Mayor Pepin I. According to later Carolingian Frankish mythology, Itta was the daughter of Arnoldus, a Margrave of Schelde and Oda. Arnoldus was the son of Blithildis and Ansbertus. Ansbertus was the son of Deuteria and another Scheldian Margrave Ansbertus Ferreolus. Ansbertus was the son of Tonantius, son of Papinilla and Tonantius Ferreolus . Papinilla was said to be a daughter of the Roman Emperor Avitus, and Tonantius Ferreolus said to be a grandson of the Roman general Syagrius who was kicked out of Gaul by King Clovis I of the Salian Franks.
Saint Itta or Itta of Metz , was the wife of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. Her brother was Saint Modoald, bishop of Trier. Her sister was abbess Saint Severa. Their parents were Arnoald, Bishop of Metz, son of Ansbertus.
On the advice of the missionary bishop Saint Amand, bishop of Maastricht, after Pippin's death, she founded the Benedictine nunnery at Nivelles, with a monastery under the abbess. She herself entered it and installed as abbess her daughter Gertrude, perhaps after resigning the post herself.
She had by Pepin another daughter, Abbess Begga of Andenne who married Ansegisel, son of Arnulf of Metz. By Begga, she is the grandmother of Pepin of Herstal and one of the matriarchs of the great Carolingian family. Her only son was Grimoald, later mayor of the palace, and father of King Childebert the Adopted.
Both her daughters were later canonised, as was she. Her feast day is May 8.

Grimoald, later mayor of the palace like his father
Bavo , became a hermit and later canonized
