Guntheuc (or Gondioque) (495 – c. 532) was the wife of Chlodomer, king of Orléans. She later married his brother Clothar I, king of Soissons. ==Biographical Information== Guntheuc may have been of Burgundian origin and the grand-daughter of Godegisel a King of Burgundy. 〔 Information from the French language Wikipedia page. Needs a source〕 She is briefly mentioned in Gregory of Tours' ''History of the Franks''. 〔 Grégoire de Tours, Histoire, livre III, 6.〕 In 517 she married Chlodomer, king of Orléans. They are likely the parents of Gunthar, Theudebald, and Clodoald (later canonised Saint Cloud). 〔Christian Bouyer, Dictionnaire des Reines de France, Librairie Académique Perrin, 1992 ISBN 2-262-00789-6, p. 32-33〕 King Chlodomer led an expedition against the Burgundians in 524. He was killed on this expedition, in the spring or summer of the same year, at the Battle of Vézeronce. His three sons were entrusted to his mother Clotilde until his widow married Clotaire I. Clotaire, however, had Chlodomer's children killed, although Clodoald managed to escape. 〔 Better known as Saint Cloud, he later became abbot of Nogent, having given up his hair, the symbol of the Frankish royalty, rather than giving up his life. After Chlodomer's death, Guntheuc married his brother Clothar I, king of Soissons. Chlothar's marriage to Guntheuc gave Chlothar access to Chlodomer's treasury and ensured the rights of Guntheuc as sole heiress of King Godégisile's lands; as Frankish law allowed a woman to inherit land if she had no sons.〔 Guntheuc and Clothaire had three children: Clodeswinthe, Gondebaud and Gothard.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guntheuc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
