Many Testimonies of the like nature we find in _Gregorius Turen_ whereof we shall cite only these few following, _lib. 2. cap. 12._--"The _Franks_ (says he) having _expelled Childeric_; unanimously _elected Eudo_ for their King."--Also _lib. 4. cap. 51._--"Then the _Franks_ (who once looked towards _Childebert_ the Elder) sent an Embassy to _Sigebert_, inviting him to leave _Chilperic_ and come to them, that they by _their own Authority_ might make him King."--And a little after--"The whole Army was drawn up before him; and having set him upon a Shield, _they appointed_ him to be their King."--And in another place--"_Sigebert_ agreeing to the _Franks_ Proposals, was placed upon a Shield, according to the Custom of that Nation, and proclaimed King; and so got the Kingdom from his Bother _Chilperic_"--And presently after--"The _Burgundians_ and _Austrasians_ concluded a Peace with the _Franks_, and made _Clotharius_ King over them in all the three Kingdoms," Which particular the _Abbot_ of _Ursperg_ confirms. "The _Burgundians_ (says he) and _Austrasians_ having struck up a Peace with the _Franks_, advanced _Clotharius_ to be King and sole Ruler of the whole Kingdom."--And in another place--"The _Franks_ appointed one of his Brothers, called _Hilderic_, who was already King of the _Austrasians_, to be also their King." To this matter belongs what _Luitprandus Ticinensis_ writes, _lib. i. cap. 6._ "And when he was about to enter into that _Francia_ which is called _Roman_, (after having cross'd the Countries of the _Burgundians_) several Ambassadors of the _Franks_ met him, acquainting him that they were returning Home again; because being tired with long expectation of his coming, and not able any longer to be without a King, they had _unanimously_ Chosen _Odo_ or _Wido_, tho' 'tis reported the _Franks_ did not take _Wido_ upon this occasion for their King, &c."
