Notes:

Clotilda was the wife of Clovis I, and the daughter of Chilperic, King of Burgundians of Lyons, and Caretena. After the death of King Gundovic (Gundioch), the Kingdom of Burgundy had been divided among his four sons, Chilperic reigning at Lyons, Gondebad at Vienne, and Godegisil at Geneva; Gondemar's capital is not mentioned. Chilperic and probably Godegisil were Catholics, while Gondebad professed Arianism. Clotilda was given a religious training by her mother caretena, who, according to Sidonius Apollinaris and Fortunatus of Poitiers, was a remarkable woman. After the death of Chilperic, Caretena seems to have made her home with Godegisil at Geneva, where her other daughter, Sedeleuba, or Chrona, founded the church of Saint-Victor, and took the religious habit. It was soon after the death of Chilperic that Clovis asked and obtained the hand of Clotilda.

Clotilda married King Clovis I "The Great", of France in 492 in France. Clovis (son of King Childeric I of the FRANCS and Basina, Princess Of Thuringia) was born in 466 in Tournai, Hainault, Wallonia, Belgium; died on 27 Nov 511 in Church Of St Pierre, Paris, France; was buried in Eglise DE Saint Pierre, France.

Notes:

Third son of Gundioc, King of the Burgundians - After succeeding hisfather with his three brothers, Chilperic II was killed by his brotherGundobad, along with his wife. His two daughters were driven into exile.

Chilperic II (Latin: Chilperikus; c. 450? 493 AD) was the King of Burgundy from 473 until his death. Before that he co-ruled with his father Gondioc beginning in 463. He began his reign in 473 after the partition of Burgundy with his younger brothers Godegisel, Gundobad, and Godomar; he ruled from Valentia Julia (Valence) and his brothers ruled respectively from Geneva, Vienne, and Lyon.

Sometime in the early 470s Chilperic was forced to submit to the authority of the Roman Empire by the magister militum Ecdicius Avitus. In 475 he probably sheltered an exiled Ecdicius after the Visigoths had obtained possession of the Auvergne.

After his brother Gundobad had removed his other brother Godomar (Gundomar) in 486, he turned on Chilperic. In 493 Gundobad assassinated Chilperic and drowned his wife, then exiled their two daughters, Chroma, who became a nun, and Clotilde, who fled to her uncle, Godegisel. When the Frankish king, Clovis I, requested the latter's hand in marriage, Gundobad was unable to decline. Clovis and Godegisel allied against Gundobad in a long, drawn-out civil war.

Chilperic married Caratene Of The Suevics (Agrippina De Narbonnaise) NARBONNE in 474 in Remu, Bourgogne, Burgundy, France. Caratene (daughter of Ricimer General Of The ROMAN EMPIRE and Alypia DI ROMA) was born in 448 in Spain; died on 6 Sep 506 in Bourgogne, Burgundy, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
