Gundioc geatly expanded the kingdom that he had inherited from his
father, GUNTHER. He established his court at the small Roman town of
Geneva.
Gundioc had thee sons who became his joint heirs. The most ruthless
of them, Gundobad, had his brothers, CHILPERIC and Godegisel, killed and
went on to expand his authority from Champagne to the Mediterranean
and from eastern Switzerland to the Forez Mountains which are well into
modern day France. He is said to have decapitated the Emporer
Anthemius with his own hands.
Our ancestor is one of the slain brothers, CHILPERIC.
