Fredegund was the main wife and Queen of King Chilperic I of Soissons. She was an evil women, but strong, and so when Chilperic died in 584 leaving a newborn son Chlotar II, Queen Fredegund ruled the kingdom effectively until he came of age. Her view of politics included assassinations, and so attempts were made at the lives of King Childebert II of Austrasia (585), King Guntram of Burgundy (587), Queen Brunhild (584), and many others. When she died in 597, her son Chlotar II was 13, old enough to rule on his own.

Robert I and not Richard. I show both links here.Return to Estrith (Margaret) OF DENMARK
