On 23 December 558, Childebert died childless after a long illness. This allowed Chlothar to reunite the Greater Frankish Kingdom, as his father Clovis had done, and seize the treasure of his brother.<ref name="Rouche 1979">Rouche (1979), p. 63.</ref>

The news of Childebert's death had caused many kingdoms to unify under Chlothar. Paris, which had fought against him, submitted to his rule. Chram therefore called on the Bretons to allow him refuge. He had made such an agreement with his father-in-law Willacharius, Count of Orléans, although he was currently taking refuge himself in the Basilica of St. Martin of Tours. Chram was caught and subsequently burned "for the sins of the people and the scandals that were perpetrated by Wiliachaire and his wife." Chlothar then restored the Basilica.<ref name="Rouche 1979"/>

Between 1 September and 31 August 559, with the help of the Bretons, Chram plundered and destroyed a large number of places belonging to his father. Chlothar, accompanied by his son Chilperic, advanced to [[Domnonée]] and arrived there in November or December of 560. During the battle, located near the coast, [[Conomor]] was defeated and killed when he attempted to flee. Conomor owned land on both sides of the Channel, and Chram perhaps intended to flee from Chlothar to take refuge in England with the support of Conomor. Chram fled for the sea, but first attempted to rescue his wife and daughters. He was then captured and immediately sentenced to death. He and his wife and daughters were locked in a shack and were strangled and burned.<ref name="IV,20">Grégoire de Tours, ''Histoire'', livre IV, 20.</ref> Overwhelmed with remorse, Clothar went to Tours to implore forgiveness at the tomb of [[Martin of Tours|St Martin]] and died shortly afterwards at the royal palace at [[Compiègne]].<ref name="EB1911"/>
