Notes

By the middle of the sixth century the Merovingians had become by far the most powerful of the barbarian heirs to the Roman Empire. Almost all Gaul was under their direct rule; they had a foothold in Italy and overlordship over the Thuringians, Alamans, and Bavarians in Germany; and the suzerainty they claimed over south-east England may have been more of a reality than most English historians have thought. The dying words of Chlotar I were quite understandable: 'Wa! What kind of king is it in heaven, who kills off kings as great as me?'
