FRANKS - THEUDEMERES


Theudemeres (Theudemer) was a Frankish king. He was the son of the Roman commander Richomeres and his wife Ascyla.

Not much of Theudemeres is known. According to Gregory of Tours a war broke out between Franks and Romans some unkown time after the fall of the usurping Emperor Jovinus (411 - 413) who had been supported by Franks.

Around 422 a Roman army entered Gaul. King Theudemeres and his mother Ascyla were executed with the sword. Theudemeres reign is supposed to be before that of king Chlodio

Theudemeres must have been a cousin of Arbogastes.
