There is an inconsistency that says she was under 14 years old when she was married. Wikipedia says she was born 754

Can someone either change the birthdate or confirm that she married before the age of 14?

It's perfectly likely that she was married before 14 in this period of history:
cf Medlands:
m secondly (Aix-la-Chapelle 771 before 30 Apr) HILDEGARD, daughter of GEROLD Graf im Kraichgau [Udalrichinger] & his wife Imma (758-Thionville, Moselle 30 Apr 783[74], bur Metz, église abbatiale de Saint-Arnoul[75]). http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CAROLINGIANS.htm#CharlemagneB

The other factor to consider is the circa birth date / legitimacy of her son.

Sharon Doubell Yes I agree completely. I was just wanting someone to either approve or disapprove the inconsistency.

Please consult the Sources provided - it is not possible to confirm / refute the info beyond them. Geni's consistency checker has a modern mindset about likely age at marriage. I have disabled it here.
