Marriage and children

[edit]

Under Marriage and children it says "Bertrada married Pepin the Short.... However, Pippin..." Shouldn't Pippin be changed to Pepin? Also the article could make it clearer how closely related Bertrada was to Pepin. Following links in the "Pepin the Short" article, one can see that the two shared the same great-grandfather, Ansegisel. So Ansegisel begot Pepin II of Herstal and Martin of Herstal, Duke of Laon. Pepin II begot Charles Martel, who begot Pepin the Short. Martin of Laon begot Charibert of Laon, who begot Bertrada. Thus they were second cousins. Jim P. (talk) 00:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wide Feet

In researching mother goose I find her listed as a candidate, & while researching this nick name I am suspicious that given the structure of it, it may just have meant that she like some of her modern descendants have now, herself had unusually wide feet. My feet are exactly inherited from my father 10 & a half 4xx with an unusual shape to the right foot. You say foot rather than feet in the nickname much like Bernard hairy foot it is singular but meeans both feet. Modern Genealogy has me 26,000 times her descendant, so my thought here is she had wide feet. John5Russell3Finley (talk) 18:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
