Note CK — Fifth Book
Ernest Brehaut translation
P. 116, l. 28. Note the terms of the prophecy and the statement that it was fulfilled. Chilperic was, however, succeeded by his son Clothar, who outlived Gregory. The doubts expressed as to Clothar’s legitimacy may have been inspired by this prophecy. See S. Hellman, in Hist. Zeit. vol. 107, p. 27 f.
