Subject: Re: Meroving = to be or not to be?

E. Zoellner, "Die Herkunft der Agilolfinger," in *Mittelungen des Instituts
fuer Osterreiches Geschichtsforschung*, 59 (1951), 261-62, suggests Duke
Gottfried married a daughter of Duke Theodo. L. Levillain, "Les Nibelungen
historiques," *Annales du Midi*, 49 and 50 (1937-38) suggests that Theodo
(d. 717), described as kinsman of the Merovingian Theoderic III (d. 691), had
a Merovingian mother. Onomastically, this could account for the Theo- name
element, which Levillain believed was usually borne by the Merovingians and
their relatives. Zoellner thinks that Duke Odilo of Bavaria (d. 748) was a
son of Gottfrid (d. 709) and the hypothetical Bavarian lady.
