Caribert (also spelled Charibert), Count of Laon, is the obscure ancestor of Charlemagne. He was the father of the great king's mother, Bertrada of Laon. He was the son of Martin of Laon. In 721, he signed, with his mother Bertrada of Prüm, the fundation act of the Abbey of Prüm. The same year, also with his mother, he made a donation to the Abbey of Echternach. In 744, Bertrada of Laon married Pepin the Short, mayor of the palace of Neustria and Burgundy and later king of the Franks. He died before 762, as stated in an act of his daughter and son-in-law.
