Confusion....

[edit]

Ok, so on this page for Hermanafrid, in states: "His siblings were Baderic; Radegund (the elder), married to the Lombard king Wacho; and Bertachar." 4 siblings.

Then, later on, it says, "He first shared the rule with his brothers Baderic and Bertachar, but later killed Bertachar in a battle in 529, leaving the young Radegund an orphan."

So, I see that Radegund must have the same name as the Radegund (the elder), a sibling to Hermanafrid. So this Radegund must not be the sibling, and in fact a niece, as it implies that her father was Bertachar.

However, on Radegund's page, it states "Radegund was born to King Berthar, one of the three kings of Thuringia (a kingdom located in present day Germany), c 520. Radegund's uncle, Hermanfrid, killed Berthar in battle, orphaning her."

So which is right? There is no Berthar mentioned as a sibling in Hermanafrid's article. And it also states Hermanafrid killed Bertachar, and implies he's the father of Radegund. From Bertachar's article, it appears he's also known as Berthar, but that's not mentioned on either of these pages. If, in fact, it is the same person with two different names, the two articles should be cleaned up to clarify this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.211.0.21 (talk) 22:39, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
