Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, is known to have had several wives throughout his life, but historically, only two of them are recognized as official marriages. His first wife was Imma, possibly a noblewoman, though little is known about her. After her, he had a more prominent marriage to Hildegard of Vinzgau, with whom he had several children. Following Hildegard’s death, Charlemagne is believed to have had other concubines and relationships, including known figures like Fastrada and Luitgard, but these were not formal marriages. Therefore, while he had many companions over his lifetime, when it comes to official wives, the count stands at two.
