Austrasia: The Kingdom of Intrigue and Power. Brunhilde, the Frankish Queen, ruled with an iron fist, but her reign was marred by accusations. Fredegonde accused her of treachery, leading to a tumultuous era. Sigebert, the rightful king, was tragically murdered in this power struggle. The Battle of Tours or Battle of Poitiers in October 732 remains etched in history as a pivotal moment. A captivating miniature depicts this clash that shaped Europe's destiny. Pepin of Herstal, a formidable leader (635/45-714), left his mark on Austrasia's legacy. Engraved figures on Sigebert's tomb and statues at the Abbey of Saint-Medard de Soissons immortalize his memory. Chlothar IV of France is vividly portrayed in a chromolitho artwork capturing his regal presence. Childeric II, King of France (c 653-675), also graces another chromolitho masterpiece. Brunhilda stands tall among illustrious men and women in 'Portraits des grands hommes, ' showcasing her strength and influence as Queen of Austrasia. Clovis III may have been seen as a puppet king but played an important role during these turbulent times. King Childeric II's engraving reminds us that even amidst chaos, leaders emerged who left their indelible mark on history. Saint Pepin I and his daughter Saint Begga are depicted together around 1645-72—a testament to their enduring legacy within Austrasian society.
