CHILDEBERT (570-[2/28] Mar 596). Gregory of Tours names Childebert as the son of Sigebert and Brunhild, specifying that he was barely five years old when he succeeded his father under the protection of "Duke Gundovald"[261]. "Hildebertus" is named as son of "Sigibertus" in the Regum Merowingorum Genealogia[262]. After the assassination of his father, he was taken to Metz and there recognised 25 Dec 575 as CHILDEBERT II King of the Franks. The Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica names "Childebertus filius ipsius" when recording that he succeeded after his father was killed[263]. He was able to increase his own power in Austrasia largely due to the patronage of his uncle Gontran King of the Franks at Orléans, who adopted him as his successor in 577, recognised him as fit to rule in 584, and confirmed his succession at Andelot in 587[264]. He finally succeeded his uncle in Burgundy in 592, but died "in the fourth year after succeeding" according to Fredegar[265]. Paulus Diaconus states that it was alleged that "Childepertus rex Francorum" was poisoned aged 25 "cum uxore propria"[266]. Betrothed to THEODELINDIS, daughter of GARIBALD Duke of Bavaria & his wife Waldrada of the Lombards. Fredegar records that "Ago rex" married "Grimoaldi et Gundoaldi germanam…Teudelendæ ex genere Francorum", specifying that she had been betrothed to "Childebertus"[267]. m FAILEUBA, daughter of --- (-[596]). King Childebert's queen is named Faileuba in the Treaty of Andelot dated 28 Nov 587[268]. Paulus Diaconus saysthat it was alleged that "Childepertus rex Francorum" was poisoned aged 25 "cum uxore propria", although no reference to his wife's death has been identified in the Frankish sources[269]. [Mistress ---. As is shown below, one of the sources which reports the birth of Childebert's son Theodebert says that his mother was the king's concubine.] King Childebert II & his [wife/mistress] had one child: a) THEODEBERT [Thibert] ([586]-executed Chalon 612). King Childebert II & his wife, Faileuba, had three children: b) THEODERICH (587-Metz 613). Gregory of Tours records the birth of Theoderich son of Childebert[288]. c) THEODILA (-after 613). d) child (b and d 589). Gregory of Tours records that Queen Faileuba gave birth to a child who died almost immediately[310].
