King of Burgundy 561-592
When Chlotar, King of the Franks, died in 561, his kingdom was divided among his four sons: Charibert I (Paris), Sigebert I (Metz), Guntram (Burgundy), and Chilperic I (Soissons). Guntram married his servant Veneranda, then married Marcatrude, daughter of Magnachar. Marcatrude, who was jealous of Veneranda, poisoned Gundobad, but God took her son in return (not by Guntram). Guntram then married Austrechild, and they had two sons.
In 573, a civil war began between Guntram and his brother King Sigebert of Metz. In 575, Guntram allied with his brother King Chilperic of Soissons against Sigebert, but Guntram switched his alliance to Sigebert in the middle of the war, and Chilperic was forced to retreat. Later that year, Sigebert was assassinated, and Chilperic invaded the kingdom, now under the rule of King Childebert II, Sigebert's young son. Guntram ordered his commander Mummolus to attack Chilperic, whose general Desiderius was defeated. In 577, Guntram's two living sons, Chlotar and Chlodomer, died of dysentery, leaving Guntram childless. That year, he adopted his nephew Childebert II, King of Austrasia, and the two made a lasting alliance against Chilperic. In 581, war again broke out between Guntram and Chilperic, who took many cities from him. In 583, Chilperic and Childebert both attacked Guntram, however Guntram and Chilperic made peace and Childebert pulled out his forces.
In 584, Chilperic died and his evil Queen Fredegund ruled the land in the name of her infant son Chlotar II. The next year, Guntram attacked Childebert, taking Poitiers, Tours, and other cities. He had to pull out to attend the baptizm of Chlotar in Orleans on the Feast of Saint Martin, July 4, but the child was not brought. Guntram then invaded Gothic Septimania, but peace was then made. In 587, Queen Fredegund attempted an assassination of Guntram that failed. That year, on November 28, King Guntram, King Childebert II, Queen Brunhild, Chlodosind, Queen Faileuba, Magneric, Bishop of Trier, Ageric, Bishop of Verdun, and Duke Guntram Boso all met in Trier and made the Treaty of Andelot that lasted until Guntram's death. In 589, Guntram again invaded Septimania but was repelled. In 590, Guntram and Childebert ordered many bishops from their kingdoms to settle a revolt at a nunnery in Poiters that had grown quite large. In 592, Guntram died, and King Childebert II of Austrasia took the Kingdom of Burgundy under his crown.
