5.  The Kings of the Burgundians were, A.C. 407 Gundicar, 436 Gundioc, 467 Bilimer, 473 Gundobaldus with his brothers, 510 Sigismund, 517 Godomarus.  Under Gundicar they invaded Gallia A.C. 407, and had seats given them by the Emperor near the Rhine in Gallia Belgica, A.C. 412.  They had Saxons among them, and were now so potent, that Orosius A.C. 417 wrote of them:  ’Burgundionum esse praevalidam manum, Galliae hodieque testes sunt, in quibus praesumpta possessione consistunt.  About the year 435 they received great overthrows by AEtius, and soon after by the Hunns:  but five years after had Savoy granted them to be shared with the inhabitants; and from that time became again a potent kingdom, being bounded by the river Rhodanus, but afterwards extending much further into the heart of Gallia. Gundobald conquered the regions about the rivers Araris and Rhodanus, with the territories of Marseilles; and invading Italy in the time of the Emperor Glycerius, conquered all his brethren. Godomarus made Orleans his royal seat:  whence the kingdom was called Regnum Aurelianorum.  He was conquered by Clotharius and Childebert, Kings of the Franks, A.C. 526.  From thenceforward this kingdom was sometimes united to the kingdom of the Franks, and sometimes divided from it, till the reign of Charles the great, who made his son Carolottus King of Burgundy.  From that time, for about 300 years together, it enjoyed its proper Kings; and was then broken into the Dukedom of Burgundy, County of Burgundy, and County of Savoy; and afterwards those were broken into other lesser Counties.

6.  The Kings of the Franks were, A.C. 407 Theudomir, 417 Pharamond, 428 Clodio, 448 Merovaeus, 456 Childeric, 482 Clodovaeus, &c. Windeline and Bucher, two of the most diligent searchers into the originals of this kingdom, make it begin the same year with the Barbarian invasions of Gallia, that is, A.C. 407.  Of the first Kings there is in Labbe’s Bibliotheca M.S. this record.

Historica quaedam excerpta ex veteri stemmate genealogico Regum Franciae.

Genobaldus, Marcomerus, Suno, Theodemeris.  Isti duces vel reguli extiterunt a principio gentis Francorum diversis temporibus.  Sed incertum relinquunt historici quali sibi procreations linea successerunt.

Pharamundus:  sub hoc rege suo primo Franci legibus se subdunt, quas primores eorum tulerunt Wisogastus, Atrogastus, Salegastus.

Chlochilo.  Iste, transito Rheno, Romanos in Carbonaria sylva devicit, Camaracum cepit & obtinuit, annis 20 regnavit.  Sub hoc rege Franci usque Summam progressi sunt.

Merovechus.  Sub hoc rege Franci Trevirim destruunt, Metim succendunt, usque Aurelianum perveniunt.
