Supplice de Brunehaut (H. Martin, Hist. de France, 1886) - Bayard

Brunehaut had fled to the Jura Mountains, but she was arrested and brought before Clother in Rionne in Franche-Comté.
Clother blamed her for the deaths of ten Frankish princes, as if she were responsible for Frédégonde's actions as well as her own; then, after tormenting her for three days with various tortures, he had her tied to the tail of an untamed horse, which dragged the mutilated body of the Frankish queen through the countryside for a long time (613). Fredegund, whose entire life had been a series of crimes, died in the midst of victory. Brunehaut, guilty only in the last years of her long life, had perished in a terrible manner: for Frédégonde had been, so to speak, the very genius of triumphant barbarism, while Brunehaut had lost herself in trying to restore the political regime of Roman civilization, which could no longer be revived.
