Sigobert the Lame

Sigobert the Lame (also Sigibert or Sigebert) (died c. 508 or 509) was a king of the Ripuarian Franks in the area of Zülpich (Latin: Tolbiac) and Cologne.

[3] Chlodorich then told Clovis of the murder and offered him the finest treasures of his newly inherited kingdom as a symbol of their new alliance.

Clovis sent messengers to assess the treasure, who then asked Chlodoric to plunge his hand as deeply into his gold coins as possible.

[2] Gregory suggests that Chlodoric was murdered in the same campaign that killed the Frankish King Chararic.

[2] After all these murders, Gregory tells us that Clovis lamented that he had no family left, implying that among his own casualties were close relatives.
