_Brunéhaut_ (Vol. iv., p. 86.).--Pasquier is the great author originally
in her favour. Hallam refers also to Vellay, _Hist. de France_, tom. i.
on one side, and a dissertation by Gaillard in the _Memoirs of the
Academy of Inscriptions_, tom. xxx. on the other. Hallam himself was
against her. In his _Supplement_, p. 19., he is rather undecided.
Michelet and Sismondi do not seem to defend her; nor, I believe, Guizot,
who considers there was a constant struggle between the Frank and Roman
inhabitants, and that Fredegonde and Brunéhaut were the heads and types
respectively of the two races, and their respective principles of
government.
