Dhuoda was the wife of Bernat of Septimania and the author of the Liber Manualis. Her first son William was given hostage to Charles the Bald in 841 as a pladge of loyalty by Bernard of Septimania. Dhuoda wrote the Manual for William, but crafted the phrasing knowing that other potential enemies of the time could/would read it.
