  Notes	http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps04/ps04_438.htm Chilperic de Bourogne was King of Geneva and later King of Lyon. He is known to history as a king of the Franks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilperic_II_of_Burgundy «b»Chilperic II«/b» (c. 450 \endash 493) was the «u»King of Burgundy «/u» from 473 until his death, though initially co-ruler with his father from 463. He began his reign in 473 after the partition of Burgundy with his brothers «u»Godegisel «/u», «u»Godomar «/u», and «u»Gundobad «/u»; he ruled from «u»Valence «/u» and his brothers ruled respectively from «u»Geneva «/u», «u»Vienne «/u», and «u»Lyon «/u». They were all sons of «u»Gundioch «/u». Sometime in the early 470s Chilperic was forced to submit to the authority of the «u»Roman Empire «/u» by the «u»«i»magister militum «/u»«/i» «u»Ecdicius Avitus «/u». In 475 he probably sheltered an exiled Ecdicius after the «u»Visigoths «/u» had obtained possession of the «u»Auvergne «/u». After his brother Gundobad had removed his other brother Godomar (Gundomar) in 486, he turned on Chilperic. In 493 Gundobad assassinated Chilperic and drowned his wife, Caretena, then exiled their two daughters, «u»Chroma «/u», who became a nun, and «u»Clotilda «/u», who fled to her uncle, Godegisel. When the «u»Frankish «/u» king, «u»Clovis I «/u», requested the latter's hand in marriage, Gundobad was unable to decline. Clovis and Godegisel allied against Gundobad in a long, drawn out civil war. «b»Sources «tab»«u»«/b»Gregory of Tours «/u». «u»Historia Francorum «/u». Earnest Brehaut, trans. 1916.
