Notes


SIGISMOND (-murdered 523, bur Agaune). The Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica names "filius eius Sigismundus rex" when recording that he succeeded after the death of his father[47]. Gregory of Tours names Sigismond as son of Gundobad, when recording his succession to his father, specifying that he founded the monastery of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune[48], dated to 515[49]. He was co-regent in Burgundy from [501]. He supported the Byzantine emperor and was awarded the title patricius[50]. He converted to Catholicism and visited Pope Symachus in Rome[51]. He succeeded his father in 516 as SIGISMOND King of Burgundy. He issued his law-book, Liber Constitutionem, at Easter 517[52]. Gregory of Tours records that Chlodomer King of the Franks invaded Burgundy and captured King Sigismond, who was held prisoner near Orléans but murdered with his wife and children after his brother Gondemar defeated the Franks, their bodies being thrown down a well at Saint-Péravy-la-Colombe in the Orléannais[53]. The Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica records that "Sigimundus rex Burgundionum" was betrayed to the Franks by the Burgundians in 523 and became a monk in France, before being thrown into a well with his wife and children[54]. m firstly ([494/96]) OSTROGOTHO of the Ostrogoths, illegitimate daughter of THEODERIC "the Great" King of the Goths in Italy & his concubine --- ([475/80]-before [520]). Gregory of Tours refers to the first wife of Sigismond as the daughter of Theodoric King of Italy, but does not name her[55]. Iordanes names "unam…Thiudigoto et aliam Ostrogotho" as the two daughters of Theodoric born "ex concubina…in Moesia" before his marriage to Audofledis, specifying that they came to Italy and were married "unam Alarico Vesegotharum et aliam Sigismundo Burgundzonorum"[56]. Her father arranged her marriage as part of his negotiations for an alliance with the Burgundians. According to Settipani[57], this marriage took place soon after Theoderic arrived in Italy. Wolfram suggests[58] that Theodoric's alliance with the Burgundians was settled in 496. m secondly --- (-murdered 523). Gregory of Tours records that Sigismond's second wife incited her husband to kill her stepson but does not name her[59]. Gregory of Tours records that King Sigismond was murdered with his wife and children after his brotherGondemar defeated the Franks[60]. The Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica records that the wife and children of "Sigimundus rex Burgundionum" were thrown into a well[61]. King Sigismond & his first wife had two children: a) SIGERIC (-murdered 522). Gregory of Tours names Sigeric as son of Sigismond and his first wife, specifying that he was maltreated by his stepmother who incited his father to have him strangled[62]. The Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica names "Segericus filius Sigimundi regis" when recording that he was unjustly killed in 522 by his own father[63]. b) [SUAVEGOTHA] (495 or later-[after 549]). Gregory of Tours records that Theoderich King of the Franks married the daughter of Sigismond but does not name her[64]. Gregory does not name the mother of King Theoderich´s wife, but chronologically it is probable that she was born from King Sigismond's first marriage, which is also suggested by the root "-gotha" in her first name. Her name is suggested by Flodoard´s history of the church of Reims, dated to the mid-10th century. This source records that "Suavegotta regina" bequeathed one third of "ville Virisiaci" by testament to the church of Reims during the bishopric of Bishop Mapinius, subject to the life interest of "Teudichildi prefate regine filie", adding that the latter later confirmed the donation during the bishopric of Bishop Egidius[65]. The identification of "Suavegotha regina" as King Theoderich´s wife depends on the identification of "Teudchildi" as his daughter which, as explained in more detail in the document MEROVINGIAN KINGS, is uncertain.The link cannot therefore definitively be made between "Suavegotha" and the daughter of Sigismond King of Burgundy. Nevertheless, the chronology for such a link is favourable, as the editor of the Monumenta Germaniæ Scriptores edition of Flodoard dates Mapinius´s bishopric to "ca 549-573" and Egidius´s to "ca 573-590"[66]. m ([507/16]) as his second wife, THEODERICH, son of CLOVIS I [Chlodovech] King of the Franks & his [first wife/concubine] --- ([485]-end 533, bur Metz). He succeeded his father in 511 as THEODERICH I King of the Franks, based at Reims. King Sigismond & his second wife had [one/two] children: c) --- (-murdered 523). Gregory of Tours records Sigismond's imprisonment "with his wife and sons" by Chlodomer King of the Franks, and their murder with their father[67]. As he implies in an earlier passage that Sigeric was Sigismond's only son by his first marriage, it is assumed that the text means that the king had at least one son by his second marriage. This appears corroborated by the Marii Episcopi Aventicensis Chronica which records that the wife and children of "Sigimundus rex Burgundionum" werethrown into a well.[68]
