Auda, Aida, Alda, Aldana or Adalne (722 – before 755?) was a daughter of Charles Martel and probably Rotrude, and was the mother of Saint William of Gellone.

Marriage and children

She was married to Thierry IV, count of Autun in 742 and in 750, son of Theodoric, count, and descendant of Bertrada of Prüm. From this marriage were born:

  • Theodoen (d. bef. 826), count of Autun, mentioned in 804
  • Thierry, mentioned in 782 and in 804.
  • Adalhelm
  • William, count of Toulouse and founder of the Abbey of Gellone.
  • Abba and Berta, mentioned as nuns in 804. One of them was probably married to a Nibelungid, Childebrand II or Nibelung II.
