Note 1
Said to be ruthlessly murderous and sadistically cruel, Fredegund perhaps has few rivals in monstrousness
Note 2
Although she did not live to see it, her son's execution of Brunhilda bore the mark of Fredegund's hatred: Clotaire had the old queen, now in her sixties, stretched in agony upon the rack for three entire days, then watched her meet her death chained between four horses that were goaded to the four points of the compass, tearing her body asunder.
