[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7677261, member: 84905"]Yeah, you haven't heard the full story yet. ... Sigismund was married to Suavegotho, a daughter of Theoderic the great. Sigismund and Suavegotho had a son called Sigeric. After Suavegotho's death Sigismund remarried, but his new wife mistreated Sigeric. When Sigeric complained that his stepmother wore his mothers dresses, she persuaded Sigismund to have Sigeric kill, by drowning him in a well. In 523, the Frankish queen Clotilde, who was a daughter of the Burgundian king Chilperic, whom Sigismund had killed previously incited a war against the Burgundian king. After his defeat in 524, Sigismund and his family was killed and their bodies thrown into a well. Sigismund's brother Godomar managed to rally Burgundian troops enforced by Gothic troops sent by Theoderic the Great. They massacred the Frankish forces left behind to occupy the Burgundy, and Godomar regained the Burgundian kingdom. I have this Tremissis of Godomar in my collection. Note the monogram MAR on the reverse. [ATTACH=full]1318637[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
