Ingoberge, jealous of the affection borne to them by the king, had their father put to work inside the palace, hoping that the king, on seeing him in such condition, would conceive a distaste for his daughters; and, whilst the man was at his work, she sent for the king.
"Charibert, thinking he was going to see some novelty, saw only the workman afar off at work on his wool.

He forsook Ingoberge, and took to wife Meroflede.

He had also (to wife) another young girl named Theudoehilde, whose father was a shepherd, a mere tender of sheep, and had by her, it is said, a son who, on issuing from his mother's womb, was carried straight-way to the grave." Charibert afterwards espoused Marcovive, sister of Meroflede; and for that cause both were excommunicated by St.Germain, bishop of Paris.
Chilperic, fourth son of Clotaire I.and king of Soissons, "though he had already several wives, asked the hand of Galsuinthe, eldest daughter of Athanagild, king of Spain.

She arrived at Soissons and was united to him in marriage; and she received strong evidences of love, for she had brought with her vast treasures.

But his love for Fredegonde, one of the principal women about Chilperic, occasioned fierce disputes between them.
As Galsuinthe had to complain to the king of continual insult and of not sharing with him the dignity of his rank, she asked him in return for the treasures which she had brought, and which she was ready to give up to him, to send her back free to her own country.
