DODANE,

Duchess de Septimanie, was the wife of Bernard, Duke de Septimanie, son of William of Aquitaine, whom she married, in the palace of Aix-la-Chapelle, in June, 824. She became the mother of two sons, William and Bernard, for whom she wrote, in 841, a book in Latin, called, "The Advice of a Mother to her Sons." Some fragments of this work still remain, and do honour to the good sense and religious feeling of the writer. Dodane died in 842.
