Editing Chlothar I (section)

===War with Chram===
Chlothar again engaged in war with the Saxons. He sent his sons [[Charibert I|Charibert]] and [[Guntram]] to lead an army against Chram. They marched to Auvergne and Limoges and finally found Chram in [[Saint-Georges-Nigremont]]. Their armies met at the foot of a "black mountain" where they demanded that Chram relinquish land belonging to their father. He refused, but a storm prevented the battle. Chram sent a messenger to his half-brothers, falsely informing them of the death of Chlothar at the hand of the Saxons. Charibert and Guntram immediately marched to Burgundy. The rumor that Chlothar had died in Saxony spread throughout Gaul, even reaching the ears of Childebert. It is possible that Childebert was behind the rumor as well. Chram then took the opportunity to extend his influence to [[Chalon-sur-Saône]]. He besieged the city and won. Chram married Chalda, daughter of Wiliachaire (Willacharius), Count of Orléans, which was under Childebert's authority.<ref>Grégoire de Tours, ''Histoire'', livre VII, 18.</ref>
