• Notes

  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.
