Fastrada combines the Old German fast (firm, strong) and rāt (counsel) — "strong counsel." **Fastrada (c. 765-794)** was the fourth wife of **Charlemagne** — the East Frankish noblewoman who shaped court politics during the height of the Carolingian renaissance.
Buried in Mainz Cathedral.
Fastrada reduces to eight — the number of Carolingian queen.
