Audovera

Audovera (died 580) was the first wife or mistress of Chilperic I, king of Neustria.

Fredegund learnt that it was forbidden for a mother to receive her own child in her arms following a baptism, due to a canon law forbidding marriage between parents and godparents.

[8] Fredegund arranged the events of the baptism such that Audovera unknowingly broke this taboo.

[9][10] On Chilperic's return, Fredegund informed him of what Audovera had done.

Fredegund later had her murdered in 580 to coincide with the assassination of Clovis and the exile of Basina.
