From Wikipedia - Sigismund of Burgundy :

Sigismund (died 524 ) was king of the Burgundians from 516 to his death. He was the son of king Gundobad , whom he succeeded in 516. Sigismund and his brother Godomar were defeated in battle by Clovis ' sons and Godomar fled. Sigismund was taken by Chlodomer , King of Orleans , where he was kept as a prisoner. Godomar then rallied the Burgundian army and won back his kingdom. Meanwhile, Chlodomer ordered the death of Sigismund and marched with his brother Theuderic I , King of Metz, on Burgundy in 524.

Sigismund was a student of bishop Saint Avitus of Vienne , the Catholic bishop of Vienne who converted Sigismund from the Arian faith of his Burgundian forebears. Sigismund was inspired to found a monastery dedicated to Saint Maurice at Agaune in Valais in 515 . The following year he became king of the Burgundians.

[The 6th century saw] significant events for Sigismund. His son opposed him in 517 , and insulted his new wife and Sigismund had him strangled. Then, overcome with remorse, Sigismund retreated to the monastery that he had founded.

In 523 , he led the Burgundians against the invading Franks of Childebert I , Clotaire I and Theodebert I . Though he put on a monk's habit and hid in a cell near his abbey, he was captured by Clotaire, taken to Orléans and put to death. Afterwards, he was honoured by the Burgundians as a martyr . His bones were recovered from the well at Columelle where his body had been thrown, and a shrine developed near Agaune. Eventually Sigismund was canonized .

Correspondence has survived between Avitus, who was a poet and one of the last masters of the classical arts, and Sigismund.
