| Original text: | Fredegundis igitur regina, accepto consilio, legatos ad Guntchramnum regem mittit, dicens: 'Veniat dominus meus et suscipiat regnum fratris sui. Est', inquid, 'mihi infans parvolus' [...] Guntchramnus rex de fratris excessu amarissime flevit. Moderato quoque planctu, conmoto exercitu, Parisius dirigit. Cumque ille infra muros susceptus fuisset, Childeberthus rex, nepus eius, ab alia advenit parte. | ||||||||||||||||||||
