BOSO THE ELDER

'Boso the Elder' was a Frank from the Bosonid-dynasty. He was married to Engeltrude and died around 855. His family, the Bosonids were a dynasty of Franks that produced counts, dukes, abbots and bishops during the Carolingian Age. Eventually Boso's daughter Teutberga married Lothair II and granddaughter Richildis married into the royal Carolingian family through her marriage with Charles the Bald.
Boso had another daughter, possibly called Richildis that married to Bivin of Gorze and two sons. The oldest was called Boso. His youngest child was Hucbert
