REFR DATE 0561 PLAC King of Soissons RETO DATE 0584 RELI Reign: 539- 584 OCCU King of SoissonsChilperic I(b. c. 539--d. September or October 584, Chelles, France),Merovingian king of Soissons whom Gregory of Tours, acontemporary, called the Nero and the Herod of his age.Son of Chlotar I by Aregund, Chilperic shared with his threehalf brothers (sons of Ingund, Aregund's sister) in thepartition that followed their father's death in 561, receivingthe poorest region, the kingdom of Soissons. To this was added,however, the best part of Charibert's lands on the latter'sdeath in 567 or 568, so that Chilperic's kingdom corresponded inlarge part to that later known as Neustria. In 568 he repudiatedhis wives in order to marry Galswintha, sister of theVisigothic princess, Brunhild, who had herself recently marriedhis half brother, Sigebert I; but he soon had Galswinthamurdered and immediately married Fredegund, an earliermistress. The consequences of this crime constitute virtuallythe only clearly discernible thread in the tangled skein ofFrankish history over the next four decades, as first Sigebert,whose relations with Chilperic had in fact been bad from thestart, and then his descendants, incited by Brunhild, soughtrevenge for Galswintha's murder upon the persons of Chilperic,Fredegund, and their family.Saved from apparent disaster by the assassination of Sigebert Iin 575, Chilperic was prevented from seizing the lands of thedead king's young heir, Childebert II, by the action ofGuntram, his third half brother and the king of Burgundy.Although Chilperic succeeded in forming an alliance withChildebert against Guntram by recognizing the young king as hisheir (581), this was short-lived; in 583 Childebert and Guntramagain came to terms. A year later Chilperic fell victim to anunknown assassin, leaving a four-month-old son, Chlotar II.Ambitious, brutal, and debauched, Chilperic nevertheless hadpretensions to being a man of learning; he wrote poor poetry,became involved in theological matters, and ordered four lettersto be added to the alphabet. Regarding the church as a majorrival to his wealth, he treated the bishops with hostility andcontempt; at the same time, he had a reputation for injusticetoward his subjects at large and imposed heavy taxes.
