Talk:Childeric I

Original publication

Seeing as the treasures are largely destroyed, the original publication would seem to be a pretty important source. Can anyone provide a full citation or reference, rather than the vague "published in Latin" of the article? StrumStrumAndBeHanged (talk) 09:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I will be rewriting this...the fact that the 1911 encyclopedia accepts the fully legendary Merovech as real, yet claims the Basinus story is completely legendary, is proof that we need to very careful before taking articles from it. JHK

Yup, but my work was according to some French encyclopedia (LPL) to change the date only. Seems like Merovech needs some NPOVing. Ktsquare

For more information about this Frankish period you better forget about the encyclopedia. See Edward James - "The Franks", Ian Wood - Merovingian Kingdoms and - who else? - Gregory of Tours. johanthon 10:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Magister Militum

Is there any source that he was magister militum?--Dojarca (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Basina's father/husband

Some clarification is needed -- did her husband and her father have the same name? Was one of them "Bisinus," or is that a variant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.60.110.41 (talk) 20:07, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Article update

I've added a lot to the article and tried to restrict myself to the best secondary sources, while also using the primary sources to illustrate and explain. There is not much known about Childeric and concerning speculations I've tried to stick to most recent and widely cited ones in strong sources. There might however be a few more worth mentioning. One major topic I have not yet worked on is the burial, which seems to be a large topic itself. Andrew Lancaster (talk) 14:18, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
