EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Fr 6465 f. 25 Sharing the kingdom of Clotaire I between his four sons" takes us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the dramatic scene where Clotaire I, ruler of the Franks, divides his kingdom among his four sons - Sigebert, Gontran, Charibert, and Chilperic. The atmosphere is charged with tension as Chilperic attempts to seize power by taking their father's treasure and gaining support from influential figures within the kingdom. However, his brothers are not willing to let him succeed without a fight. In an unexpected turn of events, Sigebert, Gontran, and Charibert confront Chilperic in Paris to assert their rightful claims. The setting for this intense confrontation is none other than the iconic Ile de la Cite in Paris. As we delve into this historical narrative further, we witness another shocking event - the assassination of Sigebert I during the siege of Tournai. A cunning emissary sent by Fredegonde pierces Sigebert's throat while he lies defenseless in his tent. Through this mesmerizing artwork captured by Jean Fouquet around 1420-80 and preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, we are transported back to an era filled with political intrigue and familial strife. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even within royal families, greed and ambition can tear apart kingdoms once united under one rule.
