This biography of the Frankish king Sigebert II is usually regarded as a work of Imperial propaganda by the later French friar, Sigebert of Gembloux. It does grant some of the remaining folk memory of the interactions of the old Merovingian, but is largely re-imagined based upon the rise of the Carolingians. It is a suitable work of hagiography regarding his life, as well as his reign over Austrasia and Burgundy. It his brevity and age that are long remembered, as he only ruled over his nations for a period of a few months in 613 AD.
