Brunulphe II was born in 560 AD in
Colonia Agrippina (now
Cologne) in the
Kingdom of Austrasia. Brunulphe II's lineage includes his grandfather, Waubert II, grandson of
Clodion,
King of the Franks, who was named Count of the Ardennes around 520 AD. His father,
Brunulphe I, Count of
Cambrésis and the
Ardennes, inherited the titles and Palace of
Haucourt-en-Cambrésis. In the 630s, King Dagobert put his son Brunulphe III to death and stripped his grandchildren of their property in
Blaton. ==Death==
