St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927
Book 6, 23. How a Son Was Born to King Chilperic
After this a son1 was born to Chilperic, who had buried so many sons. In honour of the event, the king commanded that the gates of the prisons should be opened, that the bond should be set free, and that fines due to the treasury should not be exacted. But in the after time this infant was the cause of great woe.
