Person
Brunhilda of Austrasia
Brunhilda was a Visigothic princess who married the Frankish king Sigebert I of Austrasia in 567 and dominated Merovingian politics for half a century. The murder of her sister, blamed on Fredegund, began a long feud between Austrasia and Neustria. She ruled as regent for her son, grandsons and great-grandson until Chlothar II captured and executed her in 613.
