• Notes

  King of Austrasia 534-548 Theudebert I was the son of Theuderic I, King of Metz, and grandson of Clovis I. During the reign of his father, Theudebert defeated and killed the Danish king Chlochilaich who had invaded Metz. He then helped his father and uncle, King Chlothar I of Soissons, defeated King Hermanfrid of the Thuringians. Theudebert then was engaged to Wisigard, daughter of King Wacho of the Longobards, but did not marry her. He instead married Guntheuc while campaigning in Spain. When Theuderic I died, Chlothar, Childebert, and Theudebert all fought for the throne, but Theudebert won it as King of Austrasia (almost as large as Metz). Theudebert then married Deuteria, with whom he had a son Theudebald. His uncles pushed him to finally marry Wisigard, but she soon died and Theudebert married again (not Deuteria). He died mysteriously ill in 548, and was succeeded by his son Theudebald as King of Austrasia.
