St. Germain, then contemporary bishop of Paris composed this letter to Brunhilda, Queen-consort of Austrasia. He attempted to intervene in the extremely violent feud then was then rocking the the Merovingian dynasty. St. Germain speaks of biblical example and the Christian virtue of clemency and forgiveness. How this letter was received by the queen is unknown to history, but the feud would eventually claim her life, as she was pulled apart by horses under the order of Chlothar II.
