http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BisinusBisinus,
Basinus,
Besinus, or
Bisin was the
king of the Thuringii .
According to
Gregory of Tours, he supplied refuge from
Childeric I, the
Frankish king who was exiled by his own people. His wife,
Basina, left him for Childeric and the two returned to
Tournai together, after eight years.
The historical Bisinus bears some resemblance to the Bisinus of Gregory, but the details are different. Bisinus was the leader of a Thuringian confederation on the
Rhine and his wife was a
Lombard named Menia. He left three sons,
Baderic,
Herminafred, and
Berthachar, who inherited the throne from him. His daughter Radegund married the
Lombard king Wacho.
