SIGEBERT (d. 575)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 60 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIGEBERT (d. 575) , king of the Franks, was one of the four sons of Clotaire I. At the death of Clotaire in 561 the Frankish
kingdom was divided among his. sons, Sigebert's share comprising the Rhine and Meuse lands and the suzerainty over the Germanic tribes beyond the Rhine as far as the Elbe, together with Auvergne and part of
Provence
 . At the death of his brother
Charibert
  in 567 Sigebert obtained the cities of Tours and Poitiers, and it was he who elevated to the see of Tours the celebrated Gregory, the historian of the Franks. Being a smoother man than his brothers (who had all taken mates of inferior rank), Sigebert married a royal princess, Brunhilda, daughter of
Athanagild
 , the king of the Visigoths; the nuptials were celebrated with
great
  pomp at Metz, the Italian poet Fortunatus composing the epithalamium. Shortly afterwards Sigebert's brother Chilperic I. married Brunhilda's
sister
 , Galswintha; but the subsequent murder of this princess embroiled Austrasia and
Neustria
 , and civil war broke out in 573. Sigebert appealed to the Germans of the right bank of the Rhine, who attacked the environs of Paris and Chartres and committed frightful ravages. He was entirely victorious, and pursued Chilperic as far as Tournai. But just when the
great
  nobles of
Neustria
  were raising Sigebert on the shield in the villa at Vitry, near
Arras
 , he was assassinated by two bravoes in the pay of
Fredegond
 , Chilperic's new wife. At the beginning of his reign Sigebert had made war on the Avars, who had attacked his
Germanic possessions, and he was for some time a prisoner in their hands.
See Gregory of Tours, Historia Francorum, book iv.; Aug. Thierry, Resits des temps merovingiens (Brussels, 1840), and Aug. Digot, Histoire du royaume d'Austrasie (
Nancy
 , 1863). (C. P7.)
