Lambert, Count of Hesbaye
Lambert II, (669 – 742) was possibly a Count of Haspengau (Hesbaye). The identity of Lambert's father remains uncertain, but the prevailing theories identify him as either Robert II (Chrodobert II), Lord Chancellor of Francia, or a son of Robert's. An alternative theory would make him son of Warnius and Gunza, although this is not likely.
Lambert was married to Chrotlind, and had three children:
- Landrada, married Sigramnus, Count of Hesbaye
- Robert I, Duke of Neustria and Count of Hesbaye
- Rotrude, married Charles Martel. Grandmother of Charlemagne.
Upon his death, Lambert was succeeded as Count of Hesbaye by his son Robert.
