Telling off Justinian: Theudebert I, the Epistolae Austrasicae, and communication strategies in sixth‐century Merovingian–Byzantine relations.
The death of the powerful Frankish king Theudebert I (r. 533–47) gave rise to a diplomatic imbroglio between the courts of the eastern emperor Justinian, who condemned the late king, and Theudebert's son and successor Theudebald, who aggressively defended his father's memory.
