Audovera (died 580) was the first wife or mistress of Chilperic I , king of Neustria .[1] [2]
They had five children.
Theudebert , killed in battle in 575 by Guntram Boso during the interminable conflict between Chilperic and his brothers.
Merovech , married the widow Brunhilda , becoming his father's enemy. Killed by his servants on his own orders in 578.
Clovis , assassinated by Fredegund in 580.[3]
Childesinda , mentioned but once in the Liber Historiae Francorum as the infant whose botched baptism led to Audovera's dismissal. Committed to the same nunnery as her mother.
Basina , nun, banished to a convent in 580.[4] She later led a revolt in the abbey of Poitiers in 589.[5] [3]
Some time before 567, Audovera and Fredegund - then a servant of Audovera, but later to become another wife of Chilperic[6] [7] [4] - prepared for the baptism of Childesinda while Chilperic was away. Fredegund learnt that it was forbidden for a mother to receive her own child in her arms following a baptism, due to a canon law forbidding marriage between parents and godparents.[8] Fredegund arranged the events of the baptism such that Audovera unknowingly broke this taboo.[9] [10] On Chilperic's return, Fredegund informed him of what Audovera had done. Chilperic committed Audovera to a convent in a rage. Fredegund later had her murdered in 580 to coincide with the assassination of Clovis and the exile of Basina.
