Waldrada

Waldrada

Waldrada, widow (firstly) of Theudebald King of the Franks (ruled 548-555 CE), repudiated wife (secondly) of Clotaire I King of the Franks (ruled c. 558-561 CE), daughter of Wacho King of the Lombards (ruled c.510-539 CE) and his second wife Ostrogotha of the Gepids. The Origo Gentis Langobardorum names "Wisigarda…secundæ Walderada" as the two daughters of Wacho and his second wife, specifying that Waldrada married "Scusuald regis Francorum" and later "Garipald" [1] . The Historia Langobardorum names "Waldrada" as Wacho's second daughter by his second wife, specifying that she married "Chusubald rex Francorum" [2] . Paulus Diaconus names "Wisigarda… [et] secunda Walderada" as the two daughters of King Wacho & his second wife, specifying that Walderada married "Cusupald alio regi Francorum" and later "Garipald" [3] . Gregory of Tours names Vuldetrada as the wife of King Theodebald [4] . Herimannus names "Wanderadam" wife of "Theodpaldus rex Francorum" when recording her second marriage to "Lotharius rex patris eius Theodeberti patruus" [5] . According to Gregory of Tours, King Clotaire "began to have intercourse" with the widow of King Theodebald, before "the bishops complained and he handed her over to Garivald Duke of Bavaria" [6] , which does not imply that King Clotaire married Waldrada.
