Gomentrude ( 598 – fl. 630), also Gomatrude, Gométrude, or Gomatrudis, was a Frankish queen consort by marriage to king Dagobert I. It is possible that Gomentrude was descended from Ragnacaire (fl. 486), king of the Franks in Cambrai, through his son Magnachaire (fl. 555), Duke of the Franks.
==Life and queenship== She was the younger sister of queen Sichilde, third wife of King Clotaire II. Their brother was likely lord Brodulf (assuming Sichilde is the mother of Charibert II), who tried to defend the rights of his nephew on the kingdom of Aquitaine against the ambitions of Dagobert I.
