Refer to Gregory of Tours' book IX 38. Gregory describes a conspiracty to "take over the government, the young princes' mother and grandmother being banished." The year is 589, the prince is Childebert II, the mother is Brunhild, the maternal grandmother is Goiswintha, and the paternal grandmother is Ingund (wife of Chlothar). While Goiswintha may be still alive (she died this very year 589) there would be no reason to banish her for she is the ex-Visigoth queen and she resides in Spain which is totally outside the ability for these frankish conspirators to banish. The only reasonable conclusion is that Gregory is referencing the paternal grandmother - Ingund. Should we conclude that Ingund is alive in 589 and possibly ninety years of age? For the elite, this is not a totally improbable age. Any thoughts?

Recently I've brought over everything I see fit from the French Wikipedia. Hence I'll remove the banner recommending this action.
