  VIII. The Merovingians Page 7
Fredegonde was the daughter of poor peasants in the neighborhood of Montdidier in Picardy, and at an early age joined the train of Queen Audovere, the first wife of King Chilperic.
Fredegonde seized with avidity upon this occasion for persecuting her rival and destroying her step-son, heir to the throne of Chilperic.
Fredegonde sought in these deaths, advantageous for her own children, some sort of horrible consolation for her sorrows as a mother.

 VIII. The Merovingians Page 5
It is doubtful whether the maternal grief of Fredegonde were quite so pious and so strictly in accordance with morality as it has been represented by Gregory of Tours; but she was, without doubt, passionately sincere.
She arrived at Soissons and was united to him in marriage; and she received strong evidences of love, for she had brought with her vast treasures.
As Galsuinthe had to complain to the king of continual insult and of not sharing with him the dignity of his rank, she asked him in return for the treasures which she had brought, and which she was ready to give up to him, to send her back free to her own country.

Gregory of Tours informs us, that when Fredegonde, wife of Chilperic, gave the hand of her daughter Rigouthe to the son of the Gothic king, fifty chariots were required to carry away all the valuable objects which composed the princess's dower.
Fredegonde said one day to Rigouthe, 'Why do you continually trouble me? Here are the goods of your father, take them and do as you like with them.' And conducting her to a room where she locked up her treasures, she opened a large box filled with valuables.
For this purpose they received at their tables bishops, who blessed the assembly at the commencement of the meal, and were charged besides to recite chapters of holy writ, or to sing hymns out of the divine service, so as to edify and occupy the minds of the guests.

 Malleus Maleficarum - Introduction of 1928 Edition
The laws of the Visigoths, which were to some extent founded upon the Roman law, punished witches who had killed any person by their spells with death; whilst long-continued and obstinate witchcraft, if fully proven, was visited with such severe sentences as slavery for life.
In 578, when a son of Queen Fredegonde died, a number of witches who were accused of having contrived the destruction of the Prince were executed.
It has been said in these matters that the ecclesiastical law was tolerant, since for the most part it contented itself with a sentence of excommunication.

 Augustin Thierry
Ce moment, épié par Fredegonde, fut mis à profit par elle avec son adresse ordinaire.
Il lui suffit de se montrer comme par hasard sur le passage du roi, pour que la comparaison de sa figure avec celle de Galeswinthe fît revivre, dans le coeur de cet homme sensuel, une passion mal éteinte par quelques bouffées de vanité.
Fredegonde fut reprise pour concubine, et fit éclat de son nouveau triomphe; elle affecta même envers l'épouse dédaignée des airs hautains et méprisants.

Brunehilde and Fredegonde were the results of the painful struggle of civilization in its infancy, when man was learning to control mind, were it even by an emissary from the realms of darkness.
