Ingonde, Ingund, Ingunda, or (in Latin) Ingundis (c.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". 499 in Thuringia – 546) was a queen of the Franks by marriage to Chlothar I, son of Clovis.[1][2][3]
She was the daughter of King Baderic of Thuringia (c. 480 – c. 529). She became concubine to Chlothar in c.517,[4] before his marriage in c. 524 to Guntheuc, widow of Chlothar's brother Chlodomer.[Tours 1] This brought Chlothar access to Chlodomer's treasury.[5] On Guntheuc's death in 532, Chlothar married Ingund. During their long relationship they had six children, four of whom would become kings or queen:[Tours 2]
- Gonthaire or Gonthier, in Latin Gunthacharius, born around 517, died after 532. He took part around 532 in a military campaign led in Septimania;
- Charibert I (or Caribert; circa 521-567), king of Paris from 561 to 567;
- Guntram (or Gontran; around 533-592), King of Burgundy from 561 to 592, King of Paris from 584 to 592;
- Sigebert I (circa 535-575), king of Austrasia from 561 to 575.
- Childeric (possibly Childebert or Childericus ), died before 561;
- Chlothsind, died before 567. She became Queen of the Lombards by marrying King Alboin, son of Aldoin .
Shortly after their marriage (c. 533–538) Ingund requested of Chlothar that he find a husband worthy of her sister, Aregund.[6][Tours 3] Finding no one suitable, Chlothar took Aregund as one of his own wives in a polygamous marriage.[Tours 4] Ingund did not object to this arrangement;[Tours 5] Aregund remained his wife until Ingund's death in 546, after which she fell out of favor with Chlothar.[7]
