	Clotaire II Information
		Clotaire II (584-629), called the Great (le Grand) or the Young (le Jeune), King of Neustria, and from 613-629 King of all the Franks, was not yet born when his father, King Chilperic I died in 584.
		In that year, Clotaire II became the first king of all the Franks since his grandfather Clotaire I died in 561 by ordering the murder of the infant Sigebert II (son of Theuderic), whom the aging Brunhilda had attempted to set on the thrones of Austrasia and Burgundy, causing a rebellion among the nobility.
		This led to the delivery of Brunhilda into Clotaire's hands, his thirst for vengeance leading to his formidable old aunt enduring the agony of the rack for three whole days, before suffering a horrific death, chained between four horses that were goaded in separate directions, eventually tearing her apart.

	Clovis
		She was the daughter of Chilperic II, King of Burgundy.
		In the light of Gundobad's murder of Chilperic, this might be seen as a pursuit of Chlothild's blood feud with the Burgundian king - or it might be that the 'murder' never took place, and was invented retrospectively, to justify Clovis' invasion.
		The Franks were not yet the dominant power in Western Europe, nor had they even completed their hegemony in Gaul, which was still contested by the Burgundians, but Clovis had turned the Salian Franks into a major power amongst the barbarian successor kingdoms.
