  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “BERNARD, King of Italy, 812/13-817, illegitimate son, born about 797. He married CUNEGONDE ___. They had one son, [Count] Pépin (or Pippin). In 817 Emperor Louis divided the administration of the Empire; his eldest son Lothair was given Italy with the title of emperor. Bernard, though apparently not dispossessed, was not included. Bernard revolted against Louis, with the support of several of his father's Frankish followers in Italy. The revolt failed, and Louis had Bernard tried at Aachen and blinded. BERNARD, King of Italy, died 17 April 818. In 835 his widow, Cunegonde, founded the monastery of Santo Alessandro of Parma (date of her charter).
