Per Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (182:3), Hnabi was count in the Linzgau in 709, 720, 724. Here Hnabi is made the son of Huoching.
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (182:2) calls Houching the brother of:

. "Now to Hildegard. What is known for certain is that she was the daughter of count Gerold by his wife Imma sister of Ruadpert and daughter of Nebi/Hnabi. In Thegan's "Vita" of Louis the Pious Nebi is made a son of Huoching son of Gotfrid. Behr accepts this as probable but not certain. There is some difficulty (noted by Eckhardt [7] p.62-64) with the name 'Huoching'. Strictly speaking, so goes his argument, 'Huoching'
is not a personal name but a clan name like 'Agilolfing'. The personal name would be 'Hoc/Huoch'. Thegan or his source misread/misheard the original source and the line should have been reported thus: duke Gotfrid begat Nebi/Hnabi, Nebi Huoching begat Imma. On this account 'Huoching' properly refers to the clan name of the Alemannic ducal family. Thus
according to Eckhardt Gotfrid would be g-grandfather of Hildegard instead of her g-g-grandfather.
. ES [8] XII:24 gives the certain information on Hildegard and relies heavily on Borgolte [9]. The latter points out (p.185) that The Nebi in question had interests in the middle Rhine region not in Alemannia (Swabia) and Borgolte follows T Mayer in rejecting a connection with the Alemannic ducal family, or at least considers it not proven. There was a Nebi who may have been connected with the ducal family and whose interests lay in Alemannia. Thegan's genealogy of Hildegard most likely confused the two.

Death: AFT. 587

Note: Died Nov 0575, in Vitry, France.
�Assassinated in a family blood-fued by his brother Chilperic. Chilperic had his wife, Galswintha, murdered so he could marry her maid. Sigebert was married to Brunhild, sister of Galswintha. On Sigebert's death, Brunhild continued seeking revenge.

Death: NOV 575

Note: When she married Sigebert, she converted from Arianism to Catholic Christianity.

In 596, she was involved in a succession dispute. This dispute would lead ultimately to her death. After Childebert's death, Brunhild failed to set herself up as guardian over Childebert's elder son, Theodebert II of Austrasia, and thus stirred up against him his brother Theodoric II, who had succeeded to Burgundy.

in 612, she remained involved in the bitter dispute of the Merovingian family. Now the dispute is clearly of her own making. Theodebert, the King she was supporting, was finally overthrown in 612, but Theodoric, the successor, died soon afterward in 613, whereupon Brunhild tried to make the latter's eldest son, the 12-year-old Sigebert II, king of Austrasia. The Austrasian magnates, reluctant to endure her tyrannous regency, appealed to Chlotar II of Neustria against her. Brunhild tried in vain to enlist the help of the tribes east of the Rhine, then fled to Burgundy, but was handed over to Chlotar at Ren�ve, northeast of Dijon. It was here she would meet her end.

She died on 13 Oct 0613, in Ren�ve, Burgundy, France.
�She was tortured for three days, bound on to a camel and exposed to the mockery of the army, and finally dragged to death at a horse's tail.

Death: 13 OCT 613 Reneve, Burgundy

Burial: 58

Death: 27 NOV 511 Lusitania

Burial: 55

Note: Notes
We know that Childeric expanded the power and influence of the Salian Franks, but, to what extent, we do not know. Scholars disagree on just how much he had consolidated his power before he died and passed the kingdom on to his son, CLOVIS.

Death: 26 NOV 481 Turnacum, Belgica

Burial: 56

Note: Notes
He is named among the combatants who faught in the Roman imperial army at Mauriac, which stopped the progress of Attila the Hun in Gaul.
"Colonial & Revolutionary Lineages in America" lists him as the son of Chlodion. "The "Dictionary of Royal Lineage" agrees. Other sources claim that his parentage is unknown. Edward James in his book "The Franks" mentions that the ancient historian, Gregory of Tours wrote that "some people say" that Merovech was a descendant of Chlodion.

Couldnt help but include this humorous note:

"Gregory of Tours says (Bk II, 9) "Some say that Meroveus father of Childeric descends from Clodio". There is an expression of doubt here implied by Gregory. Most genealogists however have ignored this and made Clodio father of Meroveus. Isn't there a more interesting account in the much later Liber Hist. Francorum (or is it Fredegar?), which says Meroveus was conceived after his mum went swimming in the Channel and encountered a sea serpent?
