Marriage and Issue
He married Regintrude of Austrasia, daughter of Dagobert I and Nanthild. They had the following:
- Daughter of Theodo, married Godefroy, Duke of Alamannia
He also married Folchiade of Salzeburg. They had the following:
- Theodbert
- Theobald
- Tassilo
- Grimoald
- Willigard
Theodo was eventually succeeded by his four other sons, among which he divided his duchy sometime before 715.
As early as 702, Theodbert had been ruling from Salzburg and from 711 or 712, Theobald was co-reigning. It is impossible to see if this division was territorial (as with the Merovingians) or purely a co-regency (as with the later princes of Benevento and Capua). If so, Theodbert's capital was probably Salzburg and the Vita Corbiniani informs that Grimoald had his seat there. References to Theobald and the Thuringii implies perhaps a capital at Regensburg and this leaves Tassilo at Passau. All of this is educated conjecture.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:
“Women hope men will change after marriage but they don’t; men hope women won’t change but they do.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
