At the time, Provence and Austrasia lay within the kingdom of Childebert II, though half of Marseille, the chief Provençal city, was under the lordship of Guntram, King of Burgundy[citation needed].
[citation needed] While Jovinus and Theodore, Bishop of Marseille, were travelling to the court of Childebert II, Guntram had them arrested.
Despite his revolt, which saw him replaced by Leudegisel (585) and Nicetius (587), he was reconciled with Childebert and formally restored to favour on 28 November 587.
Dynamius' wife, Eucheria, wrote poetry as well: one of her poems, a list of impossible things, is extant.
Dynamius also corresponded with Gregory of Tours, who mentions that he was "pious" and a founder of monasteries.
