Aregund was the wife of Clotaire I (also known as Clothar) king of the Franks,[2] and the mother of Chilperic I of Neustria.[3] She was the great-grandmother of the last of the Merovingian kings to wield power, Dagobert I.
She is known for the discovery of her tomb at St. Denis, France,[4] though some questions remain as to the accuracy of this identification.
