Sigramnus, Count of Hesbaye

Sigramnus (Sigrand) The only knowledge available on Sigramnus is through his son, the Bishop of Metz, and grandson Ingerman of Hesbaye, father of Ermengard, wife of Louis the Pious. Sigramnus is known to have been an early supporter of Charles Martel, even before the Battle of Amblève.

Sigramnus married Landrada.

They had three children:

• Saint Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz (d 776.)
• Gundeland, monk at Gorze (d 778 or 9.)
• Son, name unknown, father of Ingerman, Count of Hesbaye.
