History in Brief
Anachronism Package Blurb
"Treacherous consort of Chilperic I, Fredegunde rose from a lowly palace servant to become the Queen of Soissons. Achieving her goals through subtle manipulation and assassination, she was able to maintain both her position and the loyalty of her king. Exercising a great charismatic presence, she convinced her husband to have his previous wife strangled, to start a war with Austrasia, and to have Sigebert I a rival assassinated. In order to secure the throne for her own son, Chilperic’s other heirs, followed by Chilperic himself, met with tragic deaths during her reign. Unmatched in malicious plotting, this lowborn woman was one of the most influential people of her time. Fredegunde brings assassination and vicious intrigue to the Anachronism arena. Remorselessly climbing through society, Fredegunde never fails to bring allies under her influence while ensuring the deaths of those who opposed her will. Use this deadly Queen of Soissons to subtly outmaneuver and overthrow your enemies!"
