http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondioc Gondioc , also called Gundioc, Condiaco, Candiacus and Gundowech, was
King of Burgundy following the destruction of
Worms by the
Huns in 436, succeeding
Gundahar. In 451, Gondioc joined forces with
Flavius Aetius against
Attila, the king of the Huns on the plains of
Chalons in modern-day
France. Gondioc married the sister of
Ricimer,
[1] the Gothic general at the time ruling the
Western Roman Empire.
Gundobad, the son of Gondioc, succeeded Ricimer in 472, but abdicated after the death of his father in the following year as Gondioc was succeeded by his brother
Chilperic I. After the death of Chilperic, Burgundy was divided among the sons of Gondioc, Gundobad,
Chilperic II of Burgundy, Godomar and
Godegisel.
