===Second Burgundian war=== In 532, Childebert and Chlothar seized [[Autun]]. They hunted for Godomar III, brother of Sigismund, with the help of his father and ally, the king of the Ostrogoths [[Theoderic the Great]]. The death of [[Athalaric]], the grandson and successor of Theodoric the Great, in 534, generated a succession crisis in the Ostrogothic kingdom, the Burgundian ally. Chlothar, [[Theudebert I|Theudebert]], and Childebert took the opportunity to invade the Burgundian kingdom, now devoid of Ostrogothic protection. The Burgundian kingdom was overtaken and divided between the three Frankish rulers. Chlothar received [[Grenoble]], [[Die, Drôme|Die]] and many of the neighbouring cities.<ref>Marius d'Avenches, ''Chronique'', a. 534.</ref>
