  	By any standards this marriage to her step-son was considered by all chroniclers to be incestuous. After her second marriage ended with the death of Aethelbald, she returned to Francia where her father placed her in Senlis nunnery. After a short time she met Count Baldwin of Flanders. The pair eloped, without the consent of her father.
