Sigebert I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (249 words) |
 | Sigebert I ( 535 - 575) was a Frankish King, one of the sons of Clotaire I and Ingund. |
| When Clotaire I died in 561, his kingdom was divided, in accordance with Frankish custom, among his four sons; Sigebert became king of the northeastern portion, known as Austrasia, to which he added further territory on the death of his brother, Charibert, in 567 or 568. |
| But at Sigebert's moment of triumph, when he had just been declared king by Chilperic's subjects at Vitry, he was struck down by two assassins working for Fredegund. |
