  • January 525: The three sons of Clodomiro, Theobald, Guntario and Clodoaldo, were entrusted to the custody of their grandmother, Saint Clotilde, and her kingdom was divided between the brothers Clotaire I and Childebert I, waiting for the legitimate heirs to come of age. But Clotaire I and Childebert I agreed to divide the kingdom and had their two eldest nephews suppressed: only Clodoald escaped the massacre and managed to hide until he was an adult, then accepting to become a monk in Novientum and thus being spared.
