4. Brunhild’s Return to Metz and Childebert II

  • Despite the attempts to sideline her, Brunhild is allowed to return to Austrasia, where she is reunited with her son, Childebert II, in Metz.
  • Once back in Austrasia, she resumes her role as regent, solidifying her political influence at Childebert’s court.

Conclusion: A Temporary Setback for Brunhild

Brunhild’s brief imprisonment and forced marriage to Merovech are dramatic episodes in her long and turbulent career. Despite this setback, she emerges politically stronger, reclaiming her authority in Austrasia, where she will continue her feud with Fredegund and Chilperic for decades to come.
