Beggo, Count of Toulouse 

Beggo (died 28 October 816) was the son of Gerard I of Paris. He was appointed Count of Toulouse, Duke of Septimania,Duke of Aquitaine, and Margrave of the Hispanic March in 806 and followed his father as Count of Paris in 815.

In 806, William of Gellone abdicated and Charlemagne appointed Beggo to take his place in Toulouse and the March of Gothia. He did not succeed his father in Paris, but was later placed in the comital office there, but did not live long after that.

He married Alpais or Alpheidis. Their children were:

• Leuthard II, who later ruled Paris
• Eberhard
• Landrade
• Susanna, whose son was Adalhard, eighth Count of Paris
• Engeltrude, whose son was Eberhard of Friuli

Gerard I of Paris (d. 779) was a count of Paris. He was the founder of the House of Girardids.

According to various sources, he married a certain Rotrude who may have been a daughter of Carloman, son of Charles Martel. From this union was born:

• the future count Stephen of Paris (c. 754-811/815)
• the future count Leuthard I of Paris (?-813)
• the future count Beggo of Paris (?-816)

His son Stephen of Paris succeeded him to the title of count of Paris.
