Everything about Battle Of V Zeronce totally explained
The
Battle of Vézeronce took place on
June 25,
524 close to
Vézeronce-Curtin (then
Veseruntia) in
Isère. It was part of the
Burgundian War initiated by the four successors of the
Frankish king Clovis I:
Childebert I,
Chlodomir,
Clotaire I, and
Theuderic I.
The
Burgundian king Sigismund was defeated, but Chlodomir, the leader of the Frankish army, was killed in battle, traditionally by
Gundomar III, brother of Sigismund. In vengeance, Sigismund and his two sons were slain by the Franks after the battle. Clotaire and Childebert then completed their conquest at Vézeronce by defeating Gundomar and his allied
Ostrogoths.
Aside from the definitive defeat of the Burgundians, which reversed their fortunes permanently and assured the annexation of their kingdom to the
Merovingians', the chief legacy of the battle
within Francia was the division of Chlodomir's kingdom among his brothers and the dispossession (and murder) of his young heirs.
A helmet was found in the peat marsh of
Saint-Didier, to the north of the battle site in 1871 and is conserved in the
Musée Dauphinois,
Grenoble. The helmet is of
Byzantine craftsmanship and was probably that of a Frankish chieftain.
