Marcatrude, who was jealous of Veneranda, poisonedGundobad, but God took her son in return (not by Guntram). Guntram thenmarried Austrechild, and they had two sons.

In 573, a civil war began between Guntram and his brother King Sigebertof Metz. In 575, Guntram allied with his brother King Chilperic ofSoissons against Sigebert, but Guntram switched his alliance to Sigebertin the middle of the war, and Chilperic was forced to retreat. Later thatyear, Sigebert was assassinated, and Chilperic invaded the kingdom, nowunder the rule of King Childebert II, Sigebert's young son. Guntramordered his commander Mummolus to attack Chilperic, whose generalDesiderius was defeated. In 577, Guntram's two living sons, Chlotar andChlodomer, died of dysentery, leaving Guntram childless. That year, headopted his nephew Childebert II, King of Austrasia, and the two made alasting alliance against Chilperic. In 581, war again broke out betweenGuntram and Chilperic, who took many cities from him. In 583, Chilpericand Childebert both attacked Guntram, however Guntram and Chilperic madepeace and Childebert pulled out his forces.

In 584, Chilperic died and his evil Queen Fredegund ruled the land in thename of her infant son Chlotar II. The next year, Guntram attackedChildebert, taking Poitiers, Tours, and other cities.

King of Metz 561-575 - Sigebert inherited the kingdom of Metz on thedeath of his father Chlotar in 561. In 562, Sigebert defeated a Hunnicarmy that invaded Gaul, and peace was made between the two forces. Atthat time, his brother Chilperic, King of Soissons, invaded Metz and tookseveral cities rightly belonging to Sigebert, thus starting a civil war.Sigebert marched to the city of Soissons, exiled Theudebert, Chilperic'sson in command of the city, and then beat Chilperic in battle. Sigebertmarried Brunhild, the Arian daughter of King Anthanagild of theVisigoths, who was converted to Catholicism. In 566 the Huns againinvaded Metz, and this time were successful over Sigebert. The next year,Sigebert's brother King Charibert of Paris died, and his kingdom wasdivided between the three living sons of Chlotar. Right away, Chilpericinvaded Sigebert's share. He attacked Tours and left his son Clovis incommand. Clovis was driven out of Tours by Sigebert, and then driven outof Bordeaux by Sigulf (573), one of Sigebert's generals. Civil war thenbegan between Sigebert and his other brother King Guntram of Burgundy,and, at the same time, Theudebert (son of Chilperic before mentioned)invaded Metz and destroyed many cities. In 574, Sigebert allied himselfwith Guntram and planned to counter, but when Guntram shifted hisalliance from Chilperic to Sigebert that was enough to make himsurrender. However the next year, Chilperic succeeded in winning back hisbrother Guntram, and another war was started with Sigebert. Theudebertwas beaten and killed, Guntram again swiched alliances, and Chilpericagain retreated. This year, however, Sigebert was assassinated, and hiskingdom passed to his son Childebert II.
