- ^ Opportuna's brother is identified with Saint Chrodegang of Metz by at least one source. However, Opportuna's story, which places him as Bishop of Séez and being murdered by a rival while on the road to Montreuil, is not mentioned in any resources relating to his life, which state instead that he died on 6 March 776 at Metz.
- ^ Lacking opportunities for public careers, their lives offered few events. Three Merovingian hagiographies of female saints circulated widely: Geneviève of Paris (d. 502), Venantius Fortunatus' vita of Radegund (d. 587) and that of Gertrude of Nivelles. To these can be added the Hiberno-Latin vita of Brigid (Smith 1995:13).
- ^ Here, Adalhelm envisions her being summoned to Heaven by Cecilia and Lucy.
- ^ The Siege of Paris (885-886) took place during the reign of Charles the Fat, who may have been intended.
