Comment

Striated edge. Childebert I (495-558) is the third son of Clovis. He received the kingdom of Paris and took part in the assassination of his nephews whose inheritance he shared with his brothers Clotaire I and Theodoric I. He then dismembered the kingdom of Burgundy. He died without an heir in 558, leaving Clotaire I alone king of the Franks.
