Frankish kings divide Godomar's kingdom
Marius reports that the Frankish kings divided Godomar's kingdom after taking Burgundy and putting him to flight.
What this does and does not establish
Marius of Avenches's chronicle. The preceding words identify Burgundy and the Frankish kings Childebert, Chlothar, and Theudebert, establishing a European location. The excerpt isolates the division itself. The apparatus records a variant form of Godomar's name, without changing the quoted clause.

- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
Read chronicaminorasa11momm.txt, lines 21268–21336. The explicit a. 534 heading at line 21299 names Paulinus junior and indiction XII; the Burgundy entry follows at lines 21301–21302, before the separate African entry and the 535 heading. These agree on Julian AD 534. Checked the neighboring entries and apparatus, particularly lines 21332–21336; no month is supplied.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
Sources and quoted text
Line and character numbers under “Location” refer to the project’s retained copy of the source. For database rows, “Edition” names the batch of rows that was fetched together.
