Fastrada
From Free net encyclopedia
Fastrada (died 794) was the daughter of a Saxon count in Lower Saxony. Together with other Saxon women, she allegedly threw herself barebreasted into battle against the invading Franks in 783, causing terror among them. She later became the fourth wife of Charlemagne, to whom she was married in 784.
Her stylized role was played by Leland Palmer in the musical Pippin by Stephen Schwartz.
