Thanee M "Brunequilda" (2026)

Attention! Start session for bidding for this lot.


Brunhilda, Visigothic princess of Toledo, became queen through her marriage to Sigebert I, king of Austrasia. She lived to be 70 years old, waging war against Fredegund and then against Fredegund's son, Chlothar II. In the end, she lost. Chlothar II captured her and had her brutally executed in 613: she was tied to wild horses and dragged to her death. This is why she is also known as the "Warrior Queen." As a side note, Wagner's Valkyrie Brunhilde is based on her story. Part of the "Powerful Women" series
