  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pippinid-4 BIOGRAPHY FROM GENEALOGICS.ORG: Begga was born about 613, daughter of Major Domus Pippin 'the Elder' and his wife Itta/Iduburga. Sometime after 639 Begga married Ansegisel, a military leader of King Sigbert III of Austrasia. They had several children of whom Pippin is known to have progeny. Ansegisel was killed in a feud sometime after 675 but before 679, by his enemy Gundewind. After his death Begga went on a pilgrimage to Rome. When she returned she built seven chapels representing the seven principal churches of Rome. These chapels were at Andenne on the river Meuse in Belgium. She also built a convent there, then became a nun, joined her own convent, and became its abbess. Begga died on 17 December 694/695 and is buried in Andenne at St. Begga's Collegiate Church. wikitree Biography: alias: Begga of Andenne;[1] Saint Begga (also Begue, Begge) bur.

Disambiguation Begga is *NOT* Saint Bega of Ireland.[11] Sources ↑ Parents chosen by principles of the European Aristocracts project, using primary sources, especially collected by the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy’s Medieval Lands project. ↑ The apparently widespread notion that she married into Swedish lines with Solfi Solfarsson and was mother to his children seems without basis in primary sources. Lest there be any illusion on the subject, the "kings" of Sweden before 1000 are in and of themselves not supported by reliable evidence. Cawley, C. (2006).
