https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childeric_I

 

Childeric succeeded his father Merovech as king of the Salian Franks, traditionally in 457 or 458, aged just 18.^{[citation needed]} By 457 at the latest he was the ruler of the Franks in the territory covering Tournai and the Lys valley. He may have had power over further territories to the south, but the sources are unclear on this. According to Gregory of Tours, Childeric was exiled at some point, the reason being traditionally given as Frankish unhappiness with Childeric's private life. Gregory further records that the Franks recalled Childeric after 8 years of exile.^[2]

In 463 Childeric fought in conjunction with the Roman General Aegidius, the magister militum of northern Gaul based in Soissons, to defeat the Visigoths, who had hoped to extend their dominion along the banks of the Loire River.^{[citation needed]} After the death of Aegidius, Childeric assisted Comes ("count") Paul of Angers, together with a mixed band of Gallo-Romans and Franks, in defeating the Goths and taking booty.^[3] Saxon raiders under the command of Eadwacer reached Angers and captured it, but Childeric and Count Paul retook the city in 469.^[4] Childeric, having delivered Angers, followed a Saxon warband to the islands on the Atlantic mouth of the Loire, and massacred them there.^{[citation needed]} In the period around 476 to 481, he and Odoacer were discussing the possibility of an alliance against the Alamanni who wished to invade ;Italy.^[5]

 

Gregory of Tours, in Libri Historiarum (Book ii.12), records the story of the expulsion of Childeric by the Salian Franks for seducing their wives. He was exiled for eight years in Thuringia with King Basin and his wife, Queen Basina. He returned only when a faithful servant advised him that he could safely do so by sending him half of a gold piece that Childeric had split with him before his exile. The book also describes his arrival in Tournai with Basina, who had left her husband to be with him.

Childeric married Basina of Thuringia, daughter of Basin, and they had the following children:

1. Clovis I (466 – 511).
2. Audofleda, Queen of the Ostrogoths, wife of Theodoric the Great.
3. Lanthilde (468 – ¿¿??).
4. Aboflede (470 – c. 500).

Childeric died in 481^[5] or 482 and was buried in Tournai.^[6] His son Clovis succeeded him as king of the Salian Franks.^[7]
