Theuderic II
Theuderic II (also Theuderich, Theoderic, or Theodoric; in French, "Thierry") (587–613), king of Burgundy (595–613) and Austrasia (612–613), was the second son of Childebert II.
At his father's death in 595, he received Guntram's kingdom of Burgundy, with its capital at Orléans, while his elder brother, Theudebert II, received their father's kingdom of Austrasia, with its capital at Metz.
He also received the lordship of the cities ("civitates") of Toulouse, Agen, Nantes, Angers, Saintes, Angoulême, Périgueux, Blois, Chartres, and Le Mans.
During his minority, and later, he reigned under the guidance of his grandmother Brunhilda, evicted from Austrasia by his brother Theudebert II.
In 596, Clotaire II, king of Neustria, and Fredegund, Clotaire's mother, took Paris, which was supposed to be held in common.
Fredegund, then her son's regent, sent a force to Laffaux and the armies of Theudebert and Theuderic were defeated.
In 599, Brunhilda was forced out of Austrasia by Theudebert
and she was found wandering near Arcis in Champagne by a peasant, who brought her to Theuderic.
The peasant was supposedly rewarded with the bishopric of Auxerre.
Theuderic welcomed her and readily fell under her influence, which was inclined to vengeful war with Theudebert at the time.
Soon, Theuderic and his brother were at war.
He defeated Theudebert at Sens, but their cousin Clotaire's restless warmaking prompted them to ally against him.
They resumed the fight against Neustria and, in 600, defeated Clotaire at Dormelles (near Montereau) on the Orvanne.
The land between the Seine and the Oise was divided between Theuderic and Theudebert, with Theuderic receiving the territory between the Seine and the Loire including the Breton frontier.
They also campaigned together in Gascony, where they subjugated the local population and instated Genialis as duke.
At this point, however, the two brothers took up arms against each other resulting in Theuderic's defeat of Theudebert at Étampes.
Theuderic's kingdom was invaded by Clotaire in 604, and was also confronted by Clotaire's son Merovech and his mayor Landric.
Theuderic met them at Étampes on the Louet, but Theudebert refused him aid.
Theuderic won the day, but his mayor of the palace, Berthoald was killed.
The next mayor, Protadius, a partisan of Brunhilda, encouraged war with Austrasia, but the nobles assassinated him and battle was never met, a pact being enforced by Theuderic's men.
In 610, he lost Alsace, the Saintois, the Thurgau, and Champagne to his brother and his men east of the Jura were soundly defeated by the Alemanni.
However, he routed Theudebert at Toul (c.611) and later at Tolbiac in 612.
He captured the fleeing Theudebert in the latter battle and gave him over—after taking his royal paraphernalia—to his grandmother Brunhilda, who had him put up in a monastery.
Bishop Ludegast is said to have beseeched him in a fable to spare Theudeberts life.
Brunhilda probably had Theudebert murdered (along with his son Merovech) to allow Theuderic to succeed to both thrones unhindered.
Theuderic died of dysentery in his Austrasian capital of Metz in late 613 while preparing a campaign against his longtime enemy, Clotaire, who had, based on a treaty with Theuderic during the last fraternal war, retaken the duchy of Dentelin.
Where Was I
" Where Was I?" may refer to:
Ingund (wife of Hermenegild)
Ingunde, Ingund, Ingundis or Ingunda,( born in 567/568), was the eldest child of Sigebert I, king of Austrasia, and his wife Brunhilda, daughter of King Athanagild of the Visigoths.
She married Hermenegild and became the first Catholic queen of the Visigoths.
Following the tradition of the time, it would follow that Ingund was named after her father's mother.
Her siblings included a sister, Chlodosind( born about 569) and a brother Childebert( born 570).
Sigebert became ruler of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia in 561 on the death of his father Chlothar I.
In 575, Sigebert was embroiled in a civil war with his half brother, Chilperic I, king of Neustria.
On the verge of victory, Sigebert was assassinated.
With the death of Sigebert, Brunhilda and the children were in great fear for their safety.
Childebert, only five years old, faced almost certain death from Chilperic.
Duke Gundovald immediately came to Paris, where Brunhilda and the children were living, took possession of Childebert and secured his safety among the Austrasian nobility.
When Chilperic came to Paris, he seized Brunhilda and ordered Ingund and Chlodosind to be held in custody in the monastery of Meaux.
Ingund would have been only seven or eight during this traumatic time.
Childebert II
Childebert II( c.570–595) was the Merovingian king of Austrasia( which included Provence at the time) from 575 until his death in 595, as the eldest son of Sigebert I, and the king of Burgundy from 592 to his death, as the adopted son of his uncle Guntram.
Motherland (disambiguation)
Motherland is the place of one's birth, the place of one's ancestors, or the place of origin of an ethnic group.
Motherland may also refer to:
Sigebert II
Sigebert II (601–613) or Sigisbert II, was the illegitimate son of Theuderic II, from whom he inherited the kingdoms of Burgundy and Austrasia in 613.
However, he fell under the influence of his great-grandmother, Brunhilda.
Warnachar, mayor of the palace of Austrasia had Sigebert brought before a national assembly, where he was proclaimed king by the nobles over both his father's kingdoms.
However, when the kingdom was invaded by Clotaire II of Neustria, Warnachar and Rado, mayor of the palace of Burgundy, betrayed Sigebert and Brunhilda and joined with Clotaire, recognising Clotaire as rightful regent and guardian of Sigebert and ordering the army not to oppose the Neustrians.
Brunhilda and Sigebert met Clotaire's army on the Aisne, but the Patrician Aletheus, Duke Rocco, and Duke Sigvald deserted her host and Brunhilda and Sigebert were forced to flee, before being taken by Clotaire's men at Lake Neuchâtel.
Brunhilda, little Sigebert and Sigebert's younger brother Corbo were executed by Clotaire's orders, and Austrasia and Neustria were reunited under Clotaire's rule, who now ruled the entire kingdom of the Franks.
Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
Sennedjem
The Ancient Egyptian artisan Sennedjem lived in Set Maat( translated as" The Place of Truth"), contemporary Deir el- Medina, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reigns of Seti I and Ramesses II.
Sennedjem had the title" Servant in the Place of Truth".
He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti, and family in a tomb in the village necropolis.
His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886.
When Sennedjem's tomb was found, in it there was regular furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he actually used when he was alive.
His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.
Rado (mayor of the palace)
Rado( or Radon), a brother of Audoin/ Ouen and son of Saint Authaire( Audecharius), was the mayor of the palace of Burgundy from 613 to 617.
He, along with Warnachar, Pepin of Landen, and Saint Arnulf, abandoned the cause of the queen Brunhilda and the young king Sigebert II and joined with Clotaire II, promising not to rise in defence of the queen- regent and recognising Clotaire as rightful regent and guardian of Sigebert.
He was confirmed in his mayoralty by Clotaire, who also confirmed Warnachar as mayor of Austrasia.
Rado( who, like Audoin, spent much of his career as court referendary), was the founder in about 630 of the monastery at Reuil- en- Brie, which from his name was called" Radolium".
On Rado's death, Warnachar was confirmed in Burgundy and Austrasia was given to another.
