St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927
Book 8, 35. Of the Envoys from Spain
Envoys came from Spain to King Guntram with many gifts, seeking peace; but they received no certain answer. For in the foregoing year,1 when his army had carried war into Septimania, some vessels sailing from Gaul to Galicia had been plundered by order of King Leuvigild, their cargoes carried off, the crews wounded or slain, and some men taken captive, of whom a few managed to escape in boats and bring the news to their own country.
