Scholarly Info
Description Balthild 1's holy vow was to dwell in the monastery which she had built at Chelles. But the Neustrians for love of her, delayed in this especially, nor would they have permitted it to come about had not an insurrection arisen because of Bishop Sigobrand 1 whose haughtiness among the Franks earned him mortal ruin. From this a dispute arose because they killed him against her will. After this they permitted her to enter the monastery.
