This woman was born of royalty, daughter of King Chilperic of Burgundy and wife of King Clovis of the Salian Franks. She had her husband converted to Christianity. After his death her sons fought over the kingdom. To escape the murder and hatred, she spent her last 34 years caring for the needy in Tours, France. She eventually bacame a saint. Perhaps someone could give me her name and spare me a patronage or two.
