Ansegisel (also Ansgise) (ca 602 or 610 - murdered before 679 or 662 ) was the son of Saint Arnulf , bishop of Metz and his wife Saint Doda. He served King Sigbert III of Austrasia (634 -656 ) as a duke (Latin dux, a military leader) and domesticus. He was killed sometime before 679, slain in a feud by his enemy Gundewin.

Ansegisel married Saint Begga of Landen, daughter of Pepin I of Landen, Mayor of Austrasia and Itta of Landen. (Saint Begga of Landen was born about 613 in Landen, Liege, Austrasia [Belgium] and died on 17 Dec 693 in Ardennes, [Belgium].)
