Notes - In 580 there was a major dysentery epidemic in all of Gaul in which KingChilperic I of Soissons and his queen Fredegund lost all of theirchildren except Clovis. They then ordered Clovis to go to Berny, wherethe epidemic was still active, with hopes of killing him as well. Hedidn't catch the disease, so Fredegund had Clovis and his mother Audoverakilled, and his sister Basina put into a nunnery at Poitiers.
In Poitiers, from 589 to 590, Basina and her cousin Clotild led a revoltagainst the Abbess Leubovera. The revolt grew so large that the KingGuntram of Burgundy and King Childebert II of Austrasia asked bishopsfrom their kingdoms to handle it, since Count Macco of Poiters could not.And so, Ebregisel, Bishop of Cologne, Maroveus, Bishop of Poitiers, SaintGregory, Bishop of Tours, and Gundegisel, Bishop of Bordeaux passedjudgement to restore the Abbess to her position and to excommunicate bothBasina and Clotild. In 590, they were both pardoned by the king andrecommunicated by the bishops, and Basina returned to the nunnery whereshe spent the rest of her life in obedience to her Abbess.
