... that, after her death, contemporaries of Frankish queen Austregilde both called her "the light of her homeland, the world, and the court" and compared her to Herod? Sources: "Gregory likens her sinful actions to Herod (DLH V.25) but confirms that King Guntram carried out this wish." "Instead, she is praised in glowing terms as the 'mother of kings, a surpassing royal wife, the light of her homeland, the world, and the court" regum genetrix et regia coniux/praecellens lumen patriae lux orbis et aulae." Mark A. Handley in Ch. 26 of The Oxford Handbook of the Merovingian World, pages 557-8 [1]; "She is said to have made a request to the king reminiscent of Herod..." Gregory of Tours as quoted by E. T. Dailey in Queens, Consorts, Concubines: Gregory of Tours and Women of the Merovingian Elite, page 92 [2]

Overall: An interesting article, I really love reading about these semi-obscure historical personalities! Earwig's finds an astonishing 0% copyright violation estimate, nice. I could see an alternate hook on her demanding the death of her doctors after her own, but the current hook is also fine. --LordPeterII (talk) 16:32, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
