Caratene de Bourgogne (Caratena) 
Caratene was born about 0425 in Swabia, Bayern, Germany.1 Caratene's father was Rechila of the Suevi and her mother was de Wallia. She was an only child. She died on September 6th, 0506 in Bourgogne, France.1 General Notes
There is some confusion around the names and ancestries of Chilperic's two wives. His first wife is said to have been Catarene, daughter of Gundicar and mother of St. Clothilda. His second is said to be a sister of Ricimer, not a daughter.
FMG says: The name of Chilperich´s wife is not known. Gregory of Tours records that Chilperich's wife was drowned by her brother-in-law King Gundobad, after he tied a stone around her neck. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records the same event.
