Fredegonde, a name that echoes throughout history with accusations and bloodshed. She was accused of heinous crimes, including the murder of Sigebert, which stained her reputation forever. The image of "Fredegunde Arming the Assassins of Sigebert" captures the darkness that surrounded her. But amidst the chaos, there were glimpses of Fredegonde's cunning nature. In Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's painting, we see her visiting Bishop Praetextatus on his deathbed. What intentions lay behind this visit? Was it a genuine act or another move in her intricate game? The engraving depicting Fredegonde attempting to kill Rigonthe reveals just how far she would go to secure power and eliminate threats. Her ruthlessness knew no bounds. Even in death, Fredegonde's legacy remained engraved in stone on her tombstone. It serves as a reminder of the fear she instilled in those who crossed her path. In contrast to these dark images, we catch a glimpse of Fredegonde's complex relationships through colour lithographs like "Fredegund Queen Consort of Chilperic I. " These portrayals shed light on her role as both wife and queen consort. One cannot forget the intense rivalry between Fredegonde and Brunehaut depicted in their colourful lithograph together. Their power struggles shaped kingdoms and left an indelible mark on history. Through all these depictions, one thing remains clear - Fredegond was a force to be reckoned with. Her actions may have been controversial and morally questionable but they undeniably had an impact on shaping medieval Europe. "The Marriage of Galeswinthe to King Chilperic I" captured in chromolitho showcases yet another aspect of Fredegond's life – marriage alliances for political gain. This further emphasizes how she used every opportunity at hand to solidify her position.
