Years: 542 - 542

Chlothar, king of the Franks, had in 531 received pleas from his sister Clotilde, claiming that her Arian husband Amalaric, the Visigothic king of Hispania, was grossly mistreating her, a Catholic.

Childebert had gone down with an army and defeated the Gothic king, killing him in battle, but Clotilde had died of unknown causes on her return journey to Paris.

Undertaking subsequent expeditions against the Visigoths, Childebert takes possession of Pamplona in 542 with the help of his brother Chlothar.
