Talk:Ingund

Ingund and Aregund

All this is at least arguable: "Shortly after their marriage (c. 533–538) Ingund requested of Chlothar that he find a husband worthy of her sister, Aregund.[6][Tours 3] Finding no one suitable, Chlothar took Aregund as one of his own wives in a polygamous marriage.[Tours 4] Ingund did not object to this arrangement."

Gregory does not say he found no one suitable, only that he baldly announced he was going to marry her sister. While Ingund did not overtly object to this arrangement, Gregory shows her basically yielding to her husband's will and one is left with the sense that she did not feel free to voice any objections she might have had. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-26537-77 (talk) 18:59, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Refer to Gregory of Tours' book IX 38. Gregory describes a conspiracty to "take over the government, the young princes' mother and grandmother being banished." The year is 589, the prince is Childebert II, the mother is Brunhild, the maternal grandmother is Goiswintha, and the paternal grandmother is Ingund (wife of Chlothar). While Goiswintha may be still alive (she died this very year 589) there would be no reason to banish her for she is the ex-Visigoth queen and she resides in Spain which is totally outside the ability for these frankish conspirators to banish. The only reasonable conclusion is that Gregory is referencing the paternal grandmother - Ingund. Should we conclude that Ingund is alive in 589 and possibly ninety years of age? For the elite, this is not a totally improbable age. Any thoughts? 71.90.45.231 (talk) 15:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Daryl Kohlhoff

Recently I've brought over everything I see fit from the French Wikipedia. Hence I'll remove the banner recommending this action.
