- BIOGRAPHY
Heribert (also spelled Caribert and Charibert), count of Laon, was the son of Bertrada 'the Elder', also known as Bertrada of Prüm. One source gives his father as Martin, count of Laon, but this is not authenticated. He was the father of Bertrada of Laon, the mother of Charlemagne. On 23 June 721, with his mother Bertrada of Prüm, he signed the foundation act of the Abbey of Prüm. The same year, also with his mother, he made a donation to the Abbey of Echternach. In 744 his daughter Bertrada of Laon married Pippin 'the Short', mayor of the palace of Neustria and Burgundy and later king of the Franks. Heribert died before 762, as stated in an act of his daughter and son-in-law.
