Editing Chlothar I (section)

===Thuringian conquest===
In 531, [[Hermanafrid]], king of the [[Thuringii|Thuringians]], promised to give Chlothar's half-brother, Theuderic, part of the Kingdom of Thuringia if he would help to depose [[Baderic]], Hermanafrid's rival and brother. Theuderic accepted. However, having been injured after a victory, he appealed to Chlothar to continue the war. Hermanafrid died around this time, and the goal became simply to conquer Thuringia.

The alliance, along with the aid of his nephew [[Theudebert I]], conquered Thuringia, and it became a part of the Frankish domain. During the division of the spoils, Chlothar and Theuderic argued fiercely over the hand of Princess [[Radegund]], but eventually Chlothar won the dispute on the grounds that it had been his men who had captured her.<ref>Bernard Bachrach, ''Quelques observations sur la composition et les caractéristiques des armées de Clovis'' dans Rouche (1997) pp. 689–703, p. 700, n. 55.</ref>
