Gertrude was the owner of a medieval illuminated manuscript, known as the "Egbert Psalter" or "Trier Psalter", that had been created in the late 10th century for archbishop Egbert of Trier. She included her prayer book as part of the codex. In the prayer book she prays six times for Yaropolk, "unicus filius meus" (it may be meant "my favourite son" or "my only son").
