About: Slavery in Merovingian France

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Slavery in Merovingian France includes Merovingian Slave Queens, several Frankish queens in the Merovingian dynasty who were formerly slaves. As of yet only five have been identified, though there may be more: Ingund, Fredegund, Bilichild, Nanthild, and Balthild. Of these women, Fredegund and Balthild are the best remembered; the first for her villainous attributes and the second for her saintly ones. Regardless of their historical reputation and legacy, all of these women rose dramatically through the ranks of Merovingian society, from the lowest echelon to the highest; likely examples of unparalleled social climbing in French history.
