Book 5, How Guntram Boso Took His Daughters from the Church of the Holy Hilary
Guntram Boso, coming to Tours with a few armed men, carried off by force his daughters, whom he had left in the holy church, and took them to the city of Poitiers, which belonged to King Childebert. But King Chilperic attacked Poitiers, and his soldiers put his nephew’s men to flight. They also brought before the royal presence Ennodius, now no longer count;1 he was banished and his property confiscated, though a year later he was restored to his country and his possessions. Guntram Boso left his daughters in the church of the blessed Hilary, and joined King Childebert.
