Queen of Thuringe [Ref: Settipani CharlAnc]

We don't know her origins. J Depoin wishes to make her, quite gratuitously, a
Rhenish princess. His argument is as follows: Clovis addresses Sigebert of
Cologne as parens Meus. Now, according to Depoin, parenns has the principal
meaning "Uncle" or "cousin german" thus, one should make Basina, Clovis'
mother, a sister of Sigebert. We would also explain thereby the occurence of
the name Sigebert in Clovis' posterity. Further, Sigebert was for Depoin the
son of a Clodovech, hence the origin of the Merovingian name. Apart from the
fact that the filiation given by Depoin is inexact, the use of the term parens
is really too varied [see Chaum, who shows it used in the sense of uncle,
great-uncle, gt-gt-gt uncle, cousin german, or to the third degree etc etc]
for one to be able to draw precise conclusions. Further, starting with the
relationship between Clovis and Sigbert, Munderic, undoubtedly grandson of the
latter, qualifies Theoderic son of Clovis as "parens" which shows well the
semantic extension of the term [Ref: Settipani Capet p51]
