Years: 524 - 524
Chlodomer takes the offensive again but is killed at the Battle of Vézeronce on June 25, 524, reportedly at the hands of Godomar.
In vengeance, Frankish soldiers behead Sigismund and throw his body in a well at Coulmiers.
Sigismund's two sons Gisald and Gondebaud are also put to death.
Sigismund is succeeded on the throne by his brother Godomar.
The definitive defeat of the Burgundians reverses their fortunes permanently and assures eventual annexation of their kingdom to that of the Merovingians.
The chief legacy of the battle within Francia is the division of Chlodomer's kingdom among his brothers and the dispossession (and murder) of his young heirs.
