She was the daughter of theCount Brunulphe II of theArdennes and the sister ofGomentrude (598–630), who was married toDagobert I.[2] Her maternal grandfather was royalmaior domus. She married Chlothar in about 618. Subsequently, commentators such asFredegar complained that Chlothar listened too much to counsel from women, most likely referring to Sichilde, indicating that she held a position of influence.[2]
