Chlodomer

Character

King of Orléans (511–524 AD)

511-524 AD

Notes: - The Sigismund drowning echoed by his own sons' murder is a real, sourced instance of historical irony.

Book I, Book II, Book VI, Book VII

Timeline: - 511 receives Orléans; 523 Sigismund drowned; 524 killed at Vézeronce, sons murdered. Witch's Rebirth Canon: - The historical 'shorn or killed' ultimatum over his sons' hair closely echoes the series' own hair/Otherworld-tie magic system (Book VI, Book VII).

Sources: - Gregory of Tours. Modern: Ian Wood on the reges criniti convention.
