  was koning van de Bourgonden (486-516), een Germaanse stam. Hij was een neef van Ricimer en tussen 472-474 magister militum van het Romeinse leger.
  
  Gundobad werd omstreeks 445 geboren als oudste zoon van koning Gundioc. Hij groeide op in de omgeving van Savoye en nam op jonge leeftijd dienst in het Romeinse leger van Italië, waar zijn oom Ricimir als opperbevelhebber van het leger feitelijk de dienst uit maakte.
  
  Na de dood van Ricimer op 8 augustus 472 bemachtigde Gundobad diens hoge positie. Hij werd door keizer Olybrius benoemd tot magister militum van het Romeinse leger in het westen. Al spoedig trad hij in de voetsporen van zijn voorganger, toen hij na de dood van Olybrius op 3 maart 473 een stroman Glycerius tot keizer benoemde. Als magister militum kreeg Gundobad te maken met de komst van een deel van de Ostrogoten onder aanvoering van Vidimir. Deze hadden Pannonië verlaten en waren op weg naar Italië. Gundobad hoefde met het leger tegen de Ostrogoten niet in actie te komen, want keizer Glycerius wist Vidmir ertoe te bewegen naar Gallië te trekken, naar hun stamverwanten de Visigoten.
  
  De Oost-Romeinse keizer Leo I kon het niet accepteren dat Glycerius op de troon zat in het westen. Hij wees zijn verwant Julius Nepos aan als de nieuwe keizer. Vanuit Dalmatia, waar hij gouverneur was, voer Nepos met een machtig leger naar Italië. In juni 474 bereikte Nepos Ostia (de havenstad van Rome) en trok hij op naar Ravenna. Glycerius gaf zich onmiddellijk over en Gundobad werd door Nepos ontheven van zijn functie. Gundobad verliet daarop Italië en keerde terug naar zijn stamverwanten in Gallië.
  Strijd om het Koningschap
  
  De vader van Gundobad Gundioc was in 473 gestorven en zijn grondgebied was verdeeld over zijn drie andere zonen, Godigisel, Chilperic II en Gundomar. Gundobad was het hier niet mee eens en keerde zich tegen zijn broers. Hij doodde Gundomar in 486 en versloeg Chilperic in 493.
  
  Met hulp van de Franken slaagde Godegisel erin Gundobad te verslaan bij Dijon in 500. Deze vluchtte naar Avignon en keerde met hulp van de Visigoten het jaar daarop terug naar Bourgondië. Ditmaal werd Godegisel bij Vienne verslagen, gevangengenomen en in 501 door Gundobad gedood, waarmee Gundobad uiteindelijk alleenheerser werd van de Bourgonden.
  Alleenheerser
  
  Onder het bewind van Gundobad werden de Bourgonden bondgenoten van het Oost-Romeinse Rijk en de Ostrogoten tegen het opdringen van de Franken. Door intensieve diplomatie van bisschop Avitus van Vienne, slaagden de Franken erin om Gundobad over te halen hun zijde te kiezen. Gundobad verbrak het verbond zijn de Romeinen en Ostrogoten en sloot in 507 een nieuw verdrag met de Frankische koning Chlodovech of Clovis. Samen versloegen zij de Visigoten in de slag bij Vouillé (507). Door ingrijpen van de Ostrogoten, die de Visigoten te hulp kwamen raakten de Bourgonden een deel van hun grondgebied (de Provence ten zuiden van Durance) kwijt aan de Ostrogoten. Later werd dit aan de Bourgonden teruggegeven.

  Gundobad (c. 452–516) was King of the Burgundians (473–516), succeeding his father Gundioc of Burgundy. Previous to this, he had been a Patrician of the Western Roman Empire in 472–473, succeeding his uncle Ricimer.

  Early life
  
  Gundobad seized the title of Patrician when his uncle Ricimer, who had been the power behind the throne for the Western Empire, died 18 August 472. According to John of Antioch, Gundobad had previously executed the deposed emperor Anthemius on his uncle's orders.[1]
  
  Once in power, Gundobad elevated the current Count of the Domestics, Glycerius, to the position of Western Roman Emperor. However, not long after Gundobad left for Burgundy where his father, Gundioc, had died; the exact date is unclear, with authorities stating it was in either 473 or 474. Once in Burgundy, his three brothers have been assumed to challenge to his rule: Godegisel, Chilperic II and Gundomar. Ian Wood speculates that Gundobad's departure may have been connected with the arrival of a new emperor, Julius Nepos, who had the support of the Roman Emperor in Constantinople.[2] Once Julius Nepos landed in Portus (June 474), he deposed Glycerius, whom he made bishop of Salona.[3]
  Reign
  
  The events of the first decades of Gundobad's reign are not well known. Our only source is Gregory of Tours, who wrote almost a century later. According to Gregory, Gundobad set about ridding himself of his brothers. First slain was Gundomar, though little is known of this encounter.[4]
  
  Next killed was Chilperic. According to Gregory Gundobad had his wife drowned after tying a stone round her neck and Chilperic's two daughters driven into exile. The older daughter, Chroma became a nun. The other, Clotilde, had been seen by envoys of Clovis I, King of the Franks, who told their master of her beauty and intelligence. Clovis then asked Gundobad for Clotilde's hand in marriage. Gundobad was said to be afraid to deny him.[4]
  
  However, a letter written by Avitus, bishop of Vienne, consoling Gundobad on the death of an unnamed daughter, gives details that suggest there was more to the story. According to the explication of Danuta Shanzer and Ian Wood of Avitus' notoriously difficult Latin, the bishop writes, "In the past, with ineffable tender-heartedness, you mourned the deaths of your brothers."[5] Further, Avitus alludes to Gundobad's intent to marry his deceased daughter to a foreign ruler, whom they suggest was Clovis: "Indeed," they write, "Clovis is really the only likely candidate as a prospective son-in-law for Gundobad shortly after 501."[6] If their reading is correct, then it is likely that Clotilde was offered to Clovis as a replacement, as an act of diplomacy not subservience.
  
  At this point occurs the earliest firm date in Gundobad's reign: in the early months of 490, while Odovacar and Theodoric the Great were locked in battle over control of Pavia, the Burgundians seized the opportunity to invade northwestern Italy. They devastated Liguria, and carried away an unknown number of victims into captivity, if not slavery.[7] Once Theodoric had killed Odoacar and was securely in control of Italy, he sent bishop Epiphanius of Pavia on a mission to ransom as many of these captives as possible. Accompanied by Bishop Victor of Turin, they crossed the Alps in March.[8] Shanzer and Wood believe Epiphanius was possibly also entrusted with a mission in connection with the marriage of Gundobad's son Sigismund to Theodoric's daughter Ostrogotho.[9] In his account of this visit, Magnus Felix Ennodius, who accompanied Epiphanius on this journey, describes Godegisel as germanus regis the "king's brother" and not king -- again contradicting Gregory of Tour's later account.[10] Ennodius notes that "more than six thousand souls" were so ransomed; from Lyons alone 400 men were thus freed.[11]
  
  Gregory of Tours states the battle with his third brother, Godegisel, raged long. Unaware of the other's actions, each called upon Clovis trying to persuade him to join forces against the other. Clovis sided with Godegisel, who had offered him his pleasure of tribute; Wood observes archly that Clovis' wife, Clotilde, whose father had been killed by Gundobad, "was not likely to encourage good relations between the Franks and the Burgundians."[12] Together they crushed Gundobad's force. Gundobad fled but King Clovis pursued him to Avignon. Gundobad feared the worst with Clovis's army at the gates. But Aridius went from Gundobad to Clovis and convinced him to spare Gundobad in return for a yearly tribute.[13] The chronicler Marius of Avenches dates this conflict to 500.
  
  Gundobad later broke his promise of tribute as he regained his power and besieged Godegisel, locked up in the city of Vienne. As famine devoured Vienne, Godegisel expelled the common people from the city for fear for himself. An outraged expelled artisan seeking vengeance on Godegisel went to Gundobad, and with his help he navigated the aqueduct and broke into the city. Gundobad murdered Godegisel in 501 in an Arian church along with the bishop.[14]
  
  The next event about which information has survived is Gundobad's role concerning the Battle of Vouillé. He was one of several rulers to whom king Theoderic sent letters urging peace, and asking for mediation between Alaric II and Clovis.[15] Despite Theoderic's best efforts, the two kings met at Vouillé, and Alaric was slain; according to Isidore of Seville, Gundobad supported Clovis in this battle. Isidore also provides a hint that Gundobad exploited the Visigothic defeat by plundering Narbonne.[16] Delayed by the threat of the Byzantine Navy, which had been hovering off the Italian shore around the time of the battle, the Ostrogothic army arrived to relieve the Burgundian siege of Arles.[17] According to Herwig Wolfram, the Burgundians were "the real victims of the Ostrogothic counteroffensive" following the defeat of their cousins at Vouillé. "Not only had they lost all their conquered territories and hope of acquiring Arles and Avignon but all their territory as far as Orange had been devastated."[18]
  
  Following the death of King Clovis of the Franks in 511, the Burgundians became the most prestigious people in Gaul. He was favored by the court of Constantinople, who awarded him the title of magister militum.[19] Gundobad died peacefully, succeeded by his son Sigismund in 516. He also had another son: Godomar, who would succeed his brother after his death in 524.
  Learning
  
  In some of the manuscripts of the Lex Burgundionum, Gundobad named as publishing this code of law on 29 March of the second year of his reign. However there are a number of inconsistencies in this ascription, and L. R. deSalis proposed a restored version of this passage which does not include a date -- which would better fit the reign of his son, Sigismund. Although she accepts the strong likelihood that the Lex Burgundionum as we have it was the product of Sigismund's reign, Katherine Fisher Drew still argues that a core of this law code is the product of Gundobad or his chancellery.[20]
  
  The letters of bishop Avitus and Cassiodorus provide glimpses of Gundobad's intellectual side. Avitus, a Catholic bishop, answers questions posed by an Arian Christian about religion in several letters, showing a surprising religious tolerance for the time, and may be the reason Gregory of Tours later thought he had secretly converted to Catholicism.[21] Cassidorus' Variae includes a group of letters which discuss obtaining and sending a time piece to Gundobad as a diplomatic present
