In a previous article, (Gerald L. Blanchard) says:

I have not looked into the contemporary documentation for any of these
relationships, but there is a traditional link between Petronille and "Hugh
the Abbot". This was not Charlemagne's son though. The Hugh in question
was a Welf, brother of Conrad I of the Burgundian line (if I recall
correctly). I suspect that there is no good source for this connection.
