Irmina of Oeren


Irmina of Oeren or Irmina of Trier was the wife of Hugobert, seneschal and Count palatine, a leading person of the Hugobertine noble family.
While during the High Middle Ages she was believed to be a daughter of King Dagobert II, her parents are actually unknown. Today it is assumed that she came from a powerful Austrasian noble family, strongly connected to the Carolingian dynasty.
Irmina and Hugobert had several children, including:
After Hugobert's death, the widowed Irmina founded, with support from the Bishop of Trier, the Abbey of Echternach by donating lands to Willibrord. She also committed herself to a religious life for the remaining years and became second abbess of St. Mary's convent in Oeren which was later renamed after her: St. Irmina. Irmina died at an uncertain date between 704 and 710.
