Gerperga was probably the name of one of four daughters of
Desiderius, king of the
Lombards, and his queen,
Ansa. She was married to
Charlemagne,
king of the Franks, in 768, soon after Charlemagne's succession, probably to form a bond between the otherwise enemy states of Frankland and Lombardy. The marriage was annulled in 771 and this hurt relations with Lombardy, presaging the
war of 774. She had no children and her ultimate fate is unknown.
