| Original text: | Cumque iam septimus annus esset, quod Wisigardem disponsatam haberet et eam propter Deuteriam accipere nollet, cuniuncti Franci contra eum valde scandalizabantur, quare sponsam suam relinqueret. Tunc commotus, relicta Deuteria, de qua parvolum filium habebat Theodobaldum nomen, Wisigardem duxit uxorem. Quam nec multo tempore habens, defuncta illa ... |
| Translation text: | Seven years had passed since Theudebert had become engaged to Wisigard, but he would not marry her because of Deuteria. The Franks all agreed that it was a scandalous situation that he should have abandoned his fiancée. Theudebert gave in, deserted Deuteria, by whom he had a young son called Theudebald and married Wisigard. He did not have her for long, for she soon died. |
