"There is no contemporary source for Egbert's wife. The name "Raedburh" comes from a medieval manuscript quoted by W. G. Searle (Anglo-Saxon Bishops, Kings and Nobles, London 1899, 343) as "MS Trin Coll Oxf x". She is described there as "regis Francorum sororia" which can only be a reference to Charlemagne; however there is no such sister known. Since Egbert was certainly in exile at Charlemagne's court, it is perfectly plausible that he married his wife there. If the tradition has any value, then the best guess is that she was probably a sister-in-law, but she could just as well have been a lady of the Court. Settipani (La prehistoire des Capetiens, 308 n791) is willing to accept the name."

But there also are some researcher that believe that Redburga's father may have been  was Duke Thierry Autun and her mother was Aude of  Austrasia.  Her paternal grandparents would then be Duke of Provence Childebrand (De Heristal) Austrasia I and Rolande Merovingian; her maternal grandparents would be Charles (Martel The Hammer) Austrasia and  Swanhilde Carolingian.  She was the youngest of two children.  She had a brother named William.  She died, at the age of 52 years, in year 0840.

Birth circa 778 Redburga was born circa 778.5

Tho no date is given for this marriage in any of the references consulted so far, it can be assumed that the marriage was before the birth of their child in 802. 6,7,4,8,5
