Notes:
Basina (Basine, Basina II), was queen of Thuringia in the middle of the fifth century. She left her husband king Bisinus (Basinus I) and went to Roman Gaul. She herself took the initiative to ask for the hand of Childeric I, king of the Franks, and married him. For as she herself said, "I want to have the most powerful man in the world". This remark of her may have been related to Childeric's successful invasion of the Roman Empire and his attempt to settle a Frankish kingdom on Roman soil.
Basina's name is probably Low Franconian for 'female boss'. She is the mother of the man who is remembered as the founder of the Frankish realm and modern France. She (not her husband Childeric) named her son Chlodovech, but he is better remembered under his Latinized name Clovis I. The simple fact that Chlodovech's name comes from Basina is remarkable since it was a common practice for the Franks to name a son after a member of the family of the male-line of ancestors. Through the ages historians have been intrigued by the story of Basina since she obviously acted as a player and not as bystander ? which is not uncommon for the women of the Franks, but highly uncommon for the Italians.
Basina married Bisinus (King Of The Thuringian Franks) in 460. Bisinus was born in in Thuringia, Germany; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

| 11. |  King Childeric I of the FRANCS (5.Chlodeswinthe3, 3.Clovis2, 1.Blesinde1) was born in 436 in Tournai, Hainault, Wallonia, Belgium; died on 26 Nov 481 in Tournai, Hainault, Wallonia, Belgium. Other Events:

Notes:
Page 212 in "Dawn of European Civilization" has Merovingian chart. Itdiffers a little from some others; Cloderic is same as Childeric.
From "Rulers of the World" by R. F. Tapsell: "Childeric I became thethird King of the Franks in 458. He fought with the Roman Aegidiusagainst the Wisigoths. When Aegidius died in 464, he was succeeded byCount Paul. Childeric I's army helped Count Paul push back a Saxonadvance from Angers around 466. Count Paul died in 470. They had torepeat this feat around 475, since Count Paul had died and the Saxonsonce again had attempted to expand into Angers.
(Andre Castelot, Histoire de La France, Pages, 176, 200). Born: before 433, son of Merovee=Merovech, Prince des Francs and N?, Childeric I is presumed to have been at least 15 years of age by the time he succeeded his father in 448. Between 480 and 481 Childeric I's tomb in Tournai was discovered in 1653 and contained magnificent weapons. Buried: circa 481 in Tournai, Bigorre, France.
King of the Salian Franks 456-481, Childeric succeeded his semi-legendary father Merovech as king of the Salian Franks of northern Gaul in 456, during Roman times. He became infatuated with the daughters of his subjects, who were so incensed about this that they forced him to give up the throne. He discovered that they intended to assassinate him, and he fled to Thuringia, leaving a close friend and telling him to send him amessage when Childeric could return to his kingdom.
Childeric took refuge with Bisinus, King of the Thuringian Franks, and his wife Basina. The king elected by the Franks was cruel, and soon after Childeric was re-called to his kingdom by his friend, and was restored to the throne. Once Bisinus and Childeric were both kings, Basina deserted her husband and went to live with Childeric, who married her and had a son Clovis.
After a battle with Odoacer, King of the Saxons (and conquerer of the Western Roman Empire, 476), at Orleans, Childeric and the Saxon king made a peace treaty and together subdued the Alamanni, who had invaded a part of Italy. In 481 Childeric died and was succeeded by Clovis, his son by Basina.
Childeric married Basina, Princess Of Thuringia in 464 in Germany. Basina (daughter of Banin Chlodwig I (King Of Cologne) and Basina Of Saxony) was born in 444 in Thuringia, Germany; died in 489. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
