2nd daughter of Chlothar and Ingund

But is it real?

A false genealogy found in the Brabant trophies, made in the ninth century during the reign of Charles the Bald, invents a daughter of Chlothar's named Blithilde who supposedly married Ansbert of Rouen, son of Ironwood III. From this marriage was born Duke Arnoald, father of Arnulf of Metz, thus connecting the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties, creating the appearance that the Carolingian ruled by right of inheritance, and also linking them to the Romans by their affiliation with the senatorial family Ferreoli.
