He is said to have been born around 625, in Bassigny, to Gundoin, [Duke of Alsace|Gundoin] and Saratrude of the Etichonids, a family of the Austrasian nobility. His sister was Sadalberga, who founded the monastery at Laon. He founded also the Abbey of Étival, dated to 663 and the Abbey of Othonville, and died around 678.
