, Ansgarde Of Burgundy

Ansgarde of Burgundy (d. 880/882) was a French queen of Aquitaine, butnever of West Francia, the daughter of Hardouin of Burgundy. She secretlymarried Louis II of France before he was king; her sons became Louis IIIand Carloman II of France.
Because Charles the Bald wished to marry his son to Adélaïde de Frioul,he had to seek a papal annulment; this he did, and Adélaïde married Louisin February 878.
Ansgarde was thus repudiated, but at the death of Louis II in 879 sheworked to ensure that her sons could mount the throne of Francethemselves. To that end, she sought to revisit the subject of her divorcewith the archbishop of Reims. Adélaïde, however, was pregnant, and gavebirth to a son on September 17 of that year, which thus called into doubtthe inheritance of Ansgarde''s own sons.
Ansgarde and her sons attacked Adélaïde''s marriage, accusing her ofadultery; consequently, Louis and Carloman mounted the throne together.However, both died without issue, and after a long and difficult processAdélaïde finally saw her son confirmed as Charles III, the onlylegitimate heir to the throne.
Ansgarde passes into obscurity after this episode, and the date of herdeath is not conclusively known.
