Remigius of Rouen

Remigius (or Remi) (died 772)[1] was the illegitimate son of Charles Martel and an unknown mistress.

[2] Remigius was educated at court, but, along with his brothers, (Bernard and Hieronymus) was denied any share of his father's patrimony which was apportioned among Charles' legitimate sons.

In 737, he was sent with his half brother Pepin the Short to strengthen Charles' hold on Burgundy.

In 760, he accompanied Pepin to Italy, with his two brothers to mediate between Pope Paul I and Desiderius.

Upon his return, he brought with him an instructor from The Schola Cantorum of Rome to teach his clergy Roman chants.
