Also known as Martin of Herstal, he was the son of Ansegisel, and grandson of Arnulf of Metz. Martin's mother was Begga, daughter of Pepin of Landen. Their marriage united the two houses of the Pippinids and the Arnulfings which created what would later be called the Carolingian dynasty.
He was brother to Pepin of Herstal, and through his sister, Clotilda, brother-in-law of Theuderic III, King of Neustria. The abbess Gertrude of Nivelles was his maternal aunt.
