Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley, Foundation for Medieval Genealogy CHLODOVECH [Clovis], son of CHILDERICH I King of the Franks & his wifeBasina --- ([464/67]-Paris [27 Nov] 511, bur Paris, basilique desSaints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory of Toursnames Clovis as son of Childerich & Basina[37]. The Liber HistoriæFrancorum names "Childerico" as father of "Chlodovecho rege"[38]. Hesucceeded his father in [481/82] as CLOVIS I King of the Franks. Hedefeated Syagrius, ruler at Soissons, in 486. The Liber HistoriæFrancorum records that "Chlodovechus" expanded his kingdom "usqueSequanam" and afterwards "usque Ligere fluvio"[39]. He remained apagan after his marriage to a Catholic wife, but converted toChristianity in [496] allegedly having vowed to do so if successful ina battle against the Alamans[40]. He allied with Godegisel againstGondebaud King of Burgundy in [500][41]. He defeated and killedAlaric II King of the Visigoths at the campus Vogladensis[42],probably Voulan, near Poitiers, athough this is popularly known as thebattle of Vouillé[43], in 507. Gregory of Tours records that Clovistook control of the territory of Sigebert King of the Franks of theRhine, after persuading Sigeric's son Chloderic to kill his father andthen killing Chloderic, as well as the territory of Chararic King ofthe Salian Franks[44]. Gregory of Tours records the death of KingClovis in Paris "five years after the battle of Vouillé" and hisburial in the church of the Holy Apostles, which he and Queen Clotildehad built[45]. [m firstly] ---, daughter of --- [of the Franks of the Rhine].According to Gregory of Tours, the mother of Theoderich was one ofKing Clovis's concubines not his first wife[46]. Settipani[47]suggests that Theoderich´s mother was a Frank from the Rhine region,based on the inheritance of Austrasia by Theoderich and the roots"Theode-" and "-rich" in his name, possibly transmitted through hismother from Theodemer and Richomer who were both 4th century Frankishkings. m [secondly] (492) CHROTECHILDIS [Clotilde/Rotilde[48]] of Burgundy,daughter of CHILPERICH King of Burgundy & his wife --- ([480]-Tours,monastery of Saint-Martin 544 or 548, bur Paris, basilique desSaints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory of Toursnames "Clotilde" as the younger daughter of Chilperich, recording thatshe and her sister were driven into exile by their paternal uncle KingGundobad, but that the latter accepted a request for her hand inmarriage from Clovis King of the Franks[49]. Fredegar states that shewas driven into exile to Geneva by her uncle, after he allegedlymurdered her father, and that King Clovis requested her hand inmarriage as a means of controlling Gundobad's power[50]. A charterdated 2 Oct [499], classified as spurious in the collection, of"Clodoveus rex Francorum" names "uxoris meæ Chrochildis…patrisChilperici regis Burgundiorum"[51]. Gregory of Tours recordsClotilde's lack of success in converting her husband to Christianityuntil the fifteenth year of his reign, when he and his people werebaptised by St Rémy Bishop of Reims[52]. Gregory of Tours recordsthat Queen Clotilde became a nun at the church of St Martin at Toursafter her husband died, and in a later passage records her death inTours and burial in Paris next to her husband in the church which shehad built[53]. She was canonised by the Catholic church, feast day 3Jun[54]. King Clovis & his first [wife/concubine] had one child: 1. THEODERICH ([485]-end 533, bur Metz). Gregory of Toursnames Theoderich as son of King Clovis by one of his mistresses, bornbefore his marriage to Clotilde[55]. "Theodorico, Chlomiro,Hildeberto, Hlodario" are named (in order) as sons of "Chlodoveus" inthe Regum Merowingorum Genealogia[56]. In 508, he led his father'scampaign against the Visigoths, allied with the Burgundians[57], andtemporarily occupied Aquitaine. He succeeded his father in 511 asTHEODERICH I King of the Franks, based at Reims, his territorycovering the right bank of the Rhine, the Moselle valley andChampagne, the lands which were later to become the kingdom ofAustrasia. He helped Hermanfrid King of the Thuringians defeat thelatter's brother Baderic, after being promised half his kingdom, apromise which was not kept[58]. Gregory of Tours records that KingTheoderich and his half-brother King Clotaire invaded Thuringia in531, deposed King Hermanfred (who was later killed) and annexed thekingdom[59]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records that "Theudericuset Theudobertus filius eius et Chlotharius rex" invaded Thuringia andattacked "Ermenfredum regem Toringorum", a marginal addition recordingthat "Teodericus filius Clodovei ex concubina" threw "Ermenfridumregem" from a wall and killed his two sons[60]. Adam of Bremen names"Hadugato" as the duke of the Saxons to whom "Theodericus rexFrancorum" sent legates[61], undated but recorded immediately afterthe Thuringian invasion of 531. Gregory of Tours records the death ofTheoderich in the twenty third year of his reign[62]. m firstly ---.The assumed birth date range of King Theoderich's son, Theodebert,indicates that the king's known wife, the daughter of the Burgundianking, could not have been Theodebert´s mother, considering herestimated birth date. The king must therefore have been marriedearlier, or at least have had an earlier concubine, although noinformation has been found about this first partner in any of theprimary sources consulted. Europäische Stammtafeln states that theking´s first wife was named "Suavegotta (died by 566)"[63].Presumably this is based on Flodoard´s history of Reims, quoted belowunder the king´s second wife. If this is correct, the king must haverepudiated his first wife before marrying the Burgundian king´sdaughter. However, no indication has been found in any source aboutsuch a repudiation. It is more natural to assume that, if Suavegothawas indeed the name of one of Theoderich´s wives (which in itselfcannot be proved conclusively as discussed further below), she was hissecond wife. m secondly ([507/16]) [SUAVEGOTHA] of Burgundy, daughterof SIGISMOND King of Burgundy & his first wife Ostrogotha of theOstrogoths (495 or later-[after 549]). Gregory of Tours records thatTheoderich King of the Franks married the daughter of Sigismond butdoes not name her[64]. Gregory does not name the mother of KingTheoderich´s wife, but chronologically it is more probable that shewas born from King Sigismond's first marriage, which is also suggestedby the root "-gotha" in her first name. Her name is suggested byFlodoard´s history of the church of Reims, dated to the mid-10thcentury. This source records that "Suavegotta regina" bequeathed onethird of "ville Virisiaci" by testament to the church of Reims duringthe bishopric of Bishop Mapinius, subject to the life interest of"Teudichildi prefate regine filie", adding that the latter laterconfirmed the donation during the bishopric of Bishop Egidius[65].The identification of "Suavegotha regina" as King Theoderich´s wifedepends on the identification of "Teudchildi" as their daughter which,as explained in more detail below, is uncertain. The link cannottherefore definitively be made between "Suavegotha" and the daughterof Sigismond King of Burgundy. Nevertheless, the chronology for sucha link is favourable, as the editor of the Monumenta GermaniæScriptores edition of Flodoard dates Mapinius´s bishopric to "ca549-573" and Egidius´s to "ca 573-590"[66]. King Theoderich & hisfirst [wife/concubine] had one child: a) THEODEBERT ([499/504]-end 547). Gregory of Tours namesTheodebert as son of Theoderich, specifying that he was born beforethe death of his paternal grandfather[67]. His birth date range isnarrowed more precisely to [499/504] on the assumption that he was ayoung adolescent when he led the Frankish campaign against the Danes,dated to 515: Gregory of Tours records that his father sent him "witha powerful army" to repel the Danish invasion led by Chlochilaich[68].The Liber Historiæ Francorum records that "Theudericus etTheudobertus filius eius et Chlotharius rex" invaded Thuringia andattacked "Ermenfredum regem Toringorum"[69]. He succeeded his fatherin 533 as THEODEBERT I King of the Franks at Reims, Gregory of Toursrecording that his childless uncle Childebert then adopted him as hisheir[70]. Gregory records King Theodebert's campaign in northernItaly, which he appears to date to before the death of QueenWisigardis which is recorded in the following section[71]. Theodebertsubjugated Pannonia and threatened to attack Byzantium across theDanube. He was killed while hunting[72]. Gregory of Tours recordsthat he died in the fourteenth year of his reign, and 37 years afterthe death of his paternal grandfather[73]. The Marii EpiscopiAventicensis Chronica records the death in 548 of "Theudebertus rexmagnus Francorum"[74]. m firstly ([end 533/early 534]) as her secondhusband, DEOTERIA, widow of ---, daughter of ---. Gregory of Toursrecords that Theodebert seduced Deoteria, wife of an inhabitant ofCabrières near Béziers, after his betrothal to Wisigardis, and in alater passage that he married her after the death of his father[75].According to Gregory of Tours, Theodebert deserted her after beingpressured to marry his previous betrothed, but refused to take herback after his second wife died[76]. m secondly (betrothed before533, 540) WISIGARDIS, daughter of WACHO King of the Lombards & hissecond wife Ostrogotha of the Gepides (-[541/42]). Paulus Diaconusnames "Wisigarda…[et] secunda Walderada" as the two daughters of KingWacho & his second wife, specifying that Wisigarda married"Theodeperto regi Francorum[77]. Gregory of Tours records thatTheoderich betrothed his son Theodebert to "Wisigard, a king'sdaughter" and in a later passage that Theodebert married her "sevenyears [after he] had become engaged to [her]" after being pressured todesert Deoteria but that Wisigardis "soon died"[78]. m thirdly([542/47]) ---. Gregory of Tours records that Theodebert "marriedanother woman" after his second wife died but gives no details[79].King Theodebert & his first wife had two children: i) daughter ([532/33] or before-drowned Verdun ----).Gregory of Tours records that Deoteria bore a daughter to Theodebert,who left mother and child at Clermont-Ferrand when he returned toassert his claim to the throne on learning that his father wasdying[80]. In a later passage, he records that this daughter drownedin the river after her mother tipped her over a bridge in Verdun"afraid that the king might desire her and take advantage of her"[81]. ii) THEODEBALD ([534]-555). Gregory of Tours names Theodebaldas the son of Theodebert and his wife Deoteria, implying that he wasborn after his parents' marriage[82]. He succeeded his father in 547as THEODEBALD I King of the Franks at Reims, "sous la régence de satante Theodechildis"[83]. Settipani does not provide the sourcereference on which he bases this last statement. On Theodebald´sdeath, his territory was taken by his great uncle King Clotaire.Gregory of Tours records that he had a stroke and could not move fromthe waist down, dying in the seventh year of his reign[84]. The MariiEpiscopi Aventicensis Chronica records the death in 555 of"Theudebaldus rex Francorum"[85]. m ([554]) as her first husband,WALDRADA, daughter of WACHO King of the Lombards & his second wifeOstrogotha of the Gepides. The Origo Gentis Langobardorum names"Wisigarda…secundæ Walderada" as the two daughters of Wacho & hissecond wife, specifying that Waldrada married "Scusuald regisFrancorum" and later "Garipald"[86]. The Historia Langobardorum names"Waldrada" as Wacho's second daughter by his second wife, specifyingthat she married "Chusubald rex Francorum"[87]. Paulus Diaconus names"Wisigarda…[et] secunda Walderada" as the two daughters of King Wachoand his second wife, specifying that Waldrada married "Cusupald alioregi Francorum" and later "Garipald"[88]. Gregory of Tours names"Vuldetrada" as the wife of King Theodebald[89]. Herimannus names"Wanderadam" wife of "Theodpaldus rex Francorum" when recording hersecond marriage to "Lotharius rex patris eius Theodebertipatruus"[90]. According to Gregory of Tours, King Clotaire "began tohave intercourse" with the widow of King Theodebald before "thebishops complained and he handed her over to Garivald Duke ofBavaria"[91], which does not imply that Clotaire married Waldrada.She [married secondly], her first husband's great-uncle, Clotaire IKing of the Franks, and thirdly (after 555) Garibald Duke in Bavaria. King Theodebert & his [first/second/third] wife had one child: iii) BERTHOARA (-after 566). The Carmina of Fortunat name"Berthoara…filie digna patri, te, Theudebercthe" when recording thatshe encouraged the building of the baptistry of the church ofMainz[92]. She is not mentioned by Gregory of Tours, and it is notknown who was her mother. King Theoderich & his second wife had one child: b) [THEODECHILDIS] [Techilde] ([516/20]-[570/595]). Procopiusrecords that "Varnis…Hermegisclus” married "Theodeberti Francorumregis sororem" after the death of his first wife, that she gave birthto "Radiger", for whom his father requested marriage with"puellæ…natione Brittiæ, cuius frater tunc temporis Rex Anglorumerat", and that Radiger later married his own stepmother after hisfather died[93]. It is possible that the name of this daughter wasTheodechildis but, as will be explained, the link is tentative. Threedifferent primary sources name a Queen Theodechildis. Fortunatus,dated to the late 6th century, wrote an epitaph to “TheodechildisReginæ”, commenting that "frater, genitor, conjux, avus, atquepriores" of his eponymous subject were "regius ordo"[94]. Gregory ofTours, in one of his lesser-known works, records the return of"Nunninus…tribunus" from Auvergne and his entry in Auxerre"tempore…Theudechildæ reginæ" after giving tribute which he hadcollected "de Francia" to the same queen[95]. Flodoard, in hismid-9th century history of the church of Reims, names "Teudechildi,prefatæ reginæ [=Suavegotta regina] filiæ" when recording that hermother allowed her daughter the usufruct of property which she donatedto the church of Reims, and later that Theodechildis made her owntestamentary donation of the same property to Reims[96]. It isprobable that these three sources all refer to the same person: theonly reference to another person named "Theodechildis" in the mid- tolate-6th century relates to the concubine of King Charibert, who was ashepherd´s daughter (see below). However, none of the sourcesspecifies that Queen Theodechildis was the daughter of KingTheoderich. In addition, there is no source which confirms that"Suavegotha" was the name of Theoderich´s wife, as discussed morefully above. There are three indications that Queen Theodechildis mayhave been King Theoderich´s daughter, and if so that she may also havebeen the same daughter who married the two kings of the Warnes.Firstly, Fortunatus and Gregory accord the title "regina" to her,which provides the possible link to the Procopius text concerning theking´s daughter. This is particularly relevant as so few individualswere described in contemporary sources as "queen" and therefore thenumber of alternative possible co-identities is restricted. Secondly,the common use of the root "Theode-" in the first part of the twonames suggests a close relationship. Thirdly, the chronology isfavourable. Little help is provided by the history written by Gregoryof Tours, the most thorough contemporary source for early Merovingianhistory, which does not refer to any daughter of King Theoderich I.The reference to Auxerre in Gregory´s other work suggests a connectionwith Burgundy, which was ruled by King Gontran at the time (seebelow). Assuming that the co-identity between Theodechildis and thedaughter of King Theoderich is correct, it is possible that sheretired to Burgundy after being repudiated by her second husband. Oneremaining possible thread to trace further is indicated by Settipani,who states that her nephew King Theodebald succeeded as king in 547"sous la régence de sa tante Theodechildis"[97]. However, the authordoes not provide the source reference on which he bases thisstatement. There is no way therefore at present to verify whether theprimary source in question includes the crucial link between thephrase "sa tante" and the name "Theodechildis". [A charter dated 2Oct [499], classified as spurious in the collection, of "Clodoveus rexFrancorum" purports to be written when "filia mea…Theodechildis" wasbecoming a nun[98]. The editor of the Monumenta Germaniæ Scriptoresseries assumes that this charter refers to the daughter of KingTheoderich[99], but if this is correct the document must be misdated.Another charter, also classified as spurious, in the name of"Theodechildis filia Chlodoveo" purports to record a donation to themonastery of St Peter at Sens dated Sep 569[100].] m firstly ([540])as his [second] wife, HERMENGISEL King of the Warnes, son of ---(-before 547). m secondly (before 547, repudiated [547/50]) herstepson, RADEGIS of the Warnes, son of HERMENGISEL King of the Warnes& his [first] wife ---. . King Clovis & his second wife had [six] children: 2. INGOMER (b and d 493). Gregory of Tours names Ingomer aseldest son of King Clovis and his wife Clotilde, recording that hismother insisted on having him baptised against the wishes of herhusband, who considered his early death as a sign of dissatisfactionon the part of the pagan gods[101]. 3. CHLODOMER ([494/95]-killed in battle Vézeronce 21 Jun 524).Gregory of Tours names Chlodomer as second son of King Clovis and hiswife Clotilde[102]. "Theodorico, Chlomiro, Hildeberto, Hlodario" arenamed (in order) as sons of "Chlodoveus" in the Regum MerowingorumGenealogia[103]. He succeeded his father in 511 as CHLODOMER King ofthe Franks, at Orléans, his territory covering the Loire valley fromOrléans to Tour, Chartres, Sens and Auxerre. Gregory of Tours recordsthat Chlodomer's mother incited him to attack Burgundy to revenge thedeath of her parents. He defeated and captured Sigismond King ofBurgundy in his first invasion, but was defeated and killed bySigismond's brother Gondemar during a second invasion[104]. The LiberHistoriæ Francorum records that "Chlodomiris" led an army intoBurgundy against "Godmarum", a marginal additional recording that"Gladmirus filius Clodovei regis Francorum" was killed during thecourse of the attack[105]. m ([514] or 521) as her first husband,GUNTHEUCA [Gondioque], daughter of --- [King of Burgundy]. Gregory ofTours names Guntheuc as widow of King Chlodomer and records her secondmarriage with his brother Clotaire, but does not give her origin[106].The Liber Historiæ Francorum records that "Chlotharius" married"uxorem fratris sui…Gundeucam"[107]. Settipani suggests, foronomastic reasons only, that she may have belonged to the Burgundianroyal family which, if correct, means that she may have been thedaughter of either King Gondebaud or his brother Godogisel[108].However, Gregory makes no mention of this in his lengthy descriptionof King Chlodomer's campaigns in Burgundy, an omission which issurprising if the king´s wife was related to his opponents. Shemarried secondly ([524]) as his first wife, Clotaire I[Chlothachar/Lothar] King of the Franks. King Chlodomer & his wifehad three children: a) THEODEBALD ([521]-murdered Paris 531, bur Paris, basiliquedes Saints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory ofTours names (in order) Theudovald, Gunthar and Chlodovald as the sonsof King Chlodomer, specifying that their paternal grandmother tookthem into her own household after the death of their father[109]. TheLiber Historiæ Francorum records that "filios…Chlodomire orfanosTheudovaldo, Gunthario et Chlodoaldo" were brought up by "Chrodchildisregina" after their father was killed[110]. In a later passage,Gregory records that the two older sons were murdered by their uncleKing Clotaire, who suspected that his mother was plotting for theirsuccession to the throne, specifying that the older son was 10 yearsold[111]. b) GUNTHAR ([523]-murdered Paris 531, bur Paris, basilique desSaints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory of Toursnames (in order) Theudovald, Gunthar and Chlodovald as the sons ofKing Chlodomer, specifying that their paternal grandmother took theminto her own household after the death of their father[112]. TheLiber Historiæ Francorum records that "filios…Chlodomire orfanosTheudovaldo, Gunthario et Chlodoaldo" were brought up by "Chrodchildisregina" after their father was killed[113]. In a later passage,Gregory records that the two older sons were murdered by their uncleKing Clotaire, who suspected that his mother was plotting for theirsuccession to the throne, specifying that the younger son was 7 yearsold[114]. c) CHLODOVALD [Cloud] ([524]-7 Sep [560], bur Monastery ofSaint-Martin [later Saint-Cloud] near Paris). Gregory of Tours names(in order) Theudovald, Gunthar and Chlodovald as the sons of KingChlodomer, specifying that their paternal grandmother took them intoher own household after the death of their father[115]. The LiberHistoriæ Francorum records that "filios…Chlodomire orfanosTheudovaldo, Gunthario et Chlodoaldo" were brought up by "Chrodchildisregina" after their father was killed[116]. In a later passage,Gregory records that Chlodovald escaped the fate of his brothers andentered a religious life[117]. He became a monk at Nogent (nowSaint-Cloud), near Paris, where he founded the monastery ofSaint-Martin, renamed Saint-Cloud by the 8th century. The VitaSancti Chlodovaldi records the death of Chlodovald on "VII Id Sep" butdoes not specify the year[118]. He was canonised as St Cloud, feastday 7 Sep[119]. 4. CHILDEBERT ([497]-23 Dec 558, bur Paris, Saint-Germain desPrés). Gregory of Tours names Childebert as son of King Clovis andhis wife Clotilde, listed after Chlodomer and before Clotaire[120]."Theodorico, Chlomiro, Hildeberto, Hlodario" are named (in order) assons of "Chlodoveus" in the Regum Merowingorum Genealogia[121]. Hesucceeded his father in 511 as CHILDEBERT I King of the Franks, atParis, his territory covering the Seine and Somme valleys as well asthe northern coast of France as far as Brittany, Nantes and Angers.Gregory of Tours records that King Childebert attacked and defeatedAmalric King of the Visigoths[122], which marked the end of theVisigothic presence in France and the start of the transfer of theirpower-base to Spain. He and his brother Clotaire launched a thirdattack on Burgundy, besieged Autun and occupied the whole kingdom,deposing King Gondemar II[123]. Gregory of Tours records that thechildless King Childebert adopted his nephew Theodebert as his heirafter the death of the latter's father[124]. He founded the monasteryin Paris which, from the end 11th century, was calledSaint-Germain-des-Prés. Gregory of Tours records the death of KingChildebert in Paris and his burial in the church of St Vincent[125].The Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica records the death in 558 of"Childebertus rex Francorum"[126]. m ULTROGOTHA, daughter of ---(-after 561, bur Paris, Saint-Germain des Prés). Gregory of Toursnames Ultrogotha as the wife of King Childebert, specifying that shewas sent into exile with her two daughters by King Clotaire after herhusband died[127]. Childebert I & his wife had two children: a) CHRODESINDIS (-after [566/67], bur Paris, Saint-Germain desPrés). Gregory of Tours records that Ultrogotha and her two (unnamed)daughters were sent into exile by King Clotaire after her husbanddied[128]. Settipani cites a spurious charter ofSaint-Germain-des-Prés dated 20 Aug 566, "falsified in the 11thcentury from a lost act of King Clotaire I", which names the twosisters[129]. b) CHRODOBERGA (-after [566/67]). Gregory of Tours recordsthat Ultrogotha and her two (unnamed) daughters were sent into exileby King Clotaire after her husband died[130]. Settipani cites aspurious charter of Saint-Germain-des-Prés dated 20 Aug 566,"falsified in the 11th century from a lost act of King Clotaire I",which names the two sisters[131]. 5. CHLOTHACHAR [Clotaire/Lothar] ([501/02]-Soissons [30 Nov/31Dec] 561, bur Soissons, basilique Saint-Médard). Gregory of Toursnames Clotaire as son of King Clovis and his wife Clotilde, listedafter Childebert[132]. He succeeded his father in 511 as CLOTAIRE IKing of the Franks, at Soissons. - see below. 6. [THEODECHILDIS ([492/501]-576). A charter dated 2 Oct[499], classified as spurious in the collection, of "Clodoveus rexFrancorum" purports to be written when "filia mea…Theodechildis" wasbecoming a nun[133]. As noted above, the editor of the MonumentaGermaniæ Scriptores series assumes that this charter refers to thedaughter of King Theoderich[134]. Another charter, classified asspurious, in the name of "Theodechildis filia Chlodoveo" purports torecord a donation to the monastery of St Peter at Sens dated Sep569[135]. She founded the monastery of Mauriac in Auvergne[136]. m---, king.] 7. CHROTHIELDIS [Clotilde] ([502/11]-531, bur Paris, basiliquedes Saints-Apôtres [later église de Sainte-Geneviève]). Gregory ofTours refers to the marriage of the (unnamed) sister of the fourbrothers Theoderich, Chlodomer, Childebert and Clotaire with AmalricKing of the Visigoths, arranged after the death of their father,specifying that she was sent to Spain "with a great dowry of expensivejewellery"[137]. Procopius records that “rex…VisigotthorumAmalaricus” married "Regis Theodeberti sororem"[138]. Gregory namesher Clotilde in a later passage in which he records that she wasmaltreated by her husband, and brought back to France by her brotherKing Childebert who attacked and defeated King Amalric, but died onthe journey and was buried in Paris beside her father[139]. m (511)AMALRIC King of the Visigoths, son of ALARIC II King of the Visigoths& his wife Theodegotha of the Ostrogoths (502-murdered 531). 8.
