Around 781, Leuthard was sent by Charlemagne to the duchy of Aquitaine where he stayed in the circle of Louis the Pious, king of Aquitaine (781-814) and emperor of the West (814-840).
Leuthard married Grimhilda with whom he had the following children:

According to historian René Poupardin, Leuthard ended his days in the county of Paris.
