Chronology

  • January 582: Austrasia then approaches the kingdom of Soissons. The disappearance of the sons of Chilpéric indeed gives Childebert II, successor of Sigebert, the possibility of finding himself heir to two teilreich. Egidius negotiates a pact with Chilpéric: Childebert II becomes legatee of all the goods belonging to him. This diplomatic change arouses disputes between Austrasians and Burgundians. Chilpéric took the opportunity to enlarge his Aquitaine domains by seizing Saintes, Angoulême, Périgueux and Agen, cities under Burgundian domination. The following year, Gontran recognizes the conquests of Chilpéric in order to negotiate a peace with him.
