Robert I, Count of Hesbaye
Robert I (697–764), Count of Hesbaye and Duke of Neustria, son of Lambert, Count of Haspengau, and Chrotlind, daughter of Theoderic III, King of Neustria and Austria, and Saint Amalaberga. He was Count palatine under Childeric III.
Robert married Williswinda, daughter of Adalhelm, Grundherr im Wormsgau. Robert and Williswinda had three children:
- Cancor (d. 771), Count of Hesbaye and Rheingau
- Anselm (killed in battle in Roncesvalles, Spain, 778), Count Palatine
- Thuringbert, great-grandfather of Robert the Strong.
Upon his death, Robert was succeeded as count by his brother-in-law Signramnus, probably prior to his son Cancor becoming of age.
