Godomar III

Godomar III is a King Burgondes reigning of 524 with 534, brother of the king burgonde Catholique Sigismond, and wire junior by the king Arien Gondebaud. Remained faithful to the Arianisme like the majority of its people contrary to his brother become catholic, there receive the full support of the Noblesse burgonde and the Armée, remained faithful to the arianism, and even still with the Paganisme.

Godomar III seizes the capacity then and raises the country of the franque domination. The few garrisons are massacred what pushes Clodomir to return to finish some definitively with the kingdom burgonde.

With the Battle of Vézeronce, Godomar III succeeds in overcoming the Francs, while king Clodomir is killed with the combat, its head impaled at the end of a Lance; the Burgondie manages to remain independent until in 534, with the blessing of the only frankly allied king Thierry Ier, brother of Clodomir and the elder one of wire of Clovis.

After the death of Thierry, which his son Théodebert succeeds, the Conquête of Burgondie is fast, due especially to a low resistance on behalf of Burgondes. The sovereigns mérovingiens share the old kingdom burgonde, which was divided into 534:
