Ingundis (Ingonde), [1]
Since she may have come from Worms, she is given a LNAB of Worms as a more helpful identifier than "unknown".
Her first child being born about 517, estimate her birth at, say, 500. Wikidata gives a birth of 499.
Wikipedia (FR), citing Bouyer (1992), claims that Ingonde's father was a Germanic king from the region of Worms and a woman named Arnegonde, but offers no primary source on which this is based.
Ingundis married Clotaire. Initially a concubine in 517, she later became his wife in 532. [1]
Her husband Clotaire also married her sister, Arnegundis (Arnegonde) ... making the marriage polygamous. [1]
"Gregory of Tours tells that Ingonde asked Clotaire to find a husband worthy of the noble lineage of his sister Arnegonde. The king found no better suitor than himself and decided to marry his own sister-in-law. [2]
This situation lasted for several years and contributed to weaken morally Ingonde who died around 546." [2]
Ingundis is the mother of the majority of Clotaire's children. [1]
Spouse: Clotaire. Issue: 6 known; 1 fabricated.
