Research Notes: Husband - Gunther King of the Burgundians [Semi-legendary]
Semi-legendary king of Burgundy.
From Wikipedia - Gunther :
Gunther (Gundahar, Gundahari, Latin Gundaharius or Gundicharius, Old English Gúðere, Old Norse Gunnarr, anglicised as Gunnar) is the German name of a semi-legendary king of Burgundy of the early 5th century . Legendary tales about him appear in Latin , medieval Middle High German , Old Norse , and Old English texts, especially concerning his relations with Siegfried (Sigurd in Old Norse) and his death by treachery in the hall of Attila the Hun .
Historical information
In AD 406 the Alans , Vandals , the Suevi , and possibly the Burgundians crossed the Rhine and invaded Gaul . In 411 , the Burgundian king Gundahar or Gundicar set up a puppet emperor, Jovinus , in cooperation with Goar , king of the Alans. With the authority of the Gallic emperor that he controlled, Gundahar settled on the left or western (i.e. Roman) bank of the Rhine, between the river Lauter and the Nahe , seizing Worms , Speyer , and Straßburg . Apparently as part of a truce, the Emperor Honorius later officially "granted" them the land. Olympiodorus of Thebes also mentions a Guntiarios who was called "commander of the Burgundians" in the context of the 411 usurping of Germania Secunda by Jovinus. (Prosper, a. 386)
Despite their new status as foederati , Burgundian raids into Roman upper Gallia Belgica became intolerable and were ruthlessly brought to an end in 436 , when the Roman general Aëtius called in Hun mercenaries who overwhelmed the Rhineland kingdom (with its capital at the old Celtic Roman settlement of Borbetomagus , now called Worms) in 437. Gundahar was killed in the fighting, reportedly along with the majority of the Burgundian tribe. (Prosper; Chronica Gallica 452; Hydatius; and Sidonius Apollinaris)

Research Notes: Husband - Locrinus King of Loegria (England) [Legendary]
King of the Britons in England. Reigned about 10 years.
From Wikipedia - Locrinus :
Locrinus was a legendary king of the Britons , as recounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth . He was the oldest son of Brutus and a descendant of the Trojans through Aeneas . Following Brutus's death, Britain was divided amongst the three sons, with Locrinus receiving the portion roughly equivalent to England, Albanactus receiving Scotland (Albany), and Kamber receiving Wales (Cymru). He ruled a portion of Britain called Loegria , named after him, which is roughly the boundaries of modern-day England . He reigned 10 years, most of which were peaceful.
He avenged his brother Albanactus 's death at the hands of Humber the Hun by allying with his other brother, Kamber , and fighting Humber to the banks of a river where he drowned. The river was named Humber after this battle. Locrinus divided up the spoils of war with his allies, only keeping gold and silver found on their ships for himself. He also took the daughter of the king of the Germans , Estrildis , whom the Huns had captured. This angered Corineus , an ally of his father Brutus, who had arranged a marriage between Locrinus and his own daughter, Queen Gwendolen . Locrinus submitted and married Gwendolen but still secretly loved Estrildis, whom he locked in a cave beneath Trinovantum (London ) for seven years.
Locrinus became the father of a girl, Habren, by Estrildis, and a boy, Maddan , by Gwendolen. Soon after Maddan's birth, Locrinus sent him off to Corineus, the child's grandfather. When Corineus finally died, Locrinus left Gwendolen and took Estrildis as his queen. Gwendolen went to Cornwall and assembled an army to harass Locrinus. The two armies met near the River Stour and there Locrinus was killed. His wife, Gwendolen, ruled after his death.
Research Notes: Wife - Gwendolen Queen of the Britons [Legendary]
Legendary queen of the Britons, reigned about 15 years.
From Wikipedia - Queen Gwendolen :
Queen Gwendolen was a legendary ruler of Britain , whose life is described in Geoffrey of Monmouth 's Historia Regum Britanniae . According to Geoffrey, she was the wife of King Locrinus of the Britons until she defeated him in battle and took on the leadership of Britain herself.
Gwendolen was the daughter of Corineus of Cornwall and was married to Locrinus , with whom she had one son, Maddan ; however, Locrinus was in love with Estrildis , the daughter of the king of Germany whom he rescued from Humber the Hun . When Corineus finally died, Locrinus left Gwendolen and married Estrildis . Gwendolen fled to Cornwall and built up an army. She met Locrinus in battle and defeated him.
Following Locrinus's death, Gwendolen took the throne and led in the manner her father had in Cornwall. She ordered the murder of Estrildis and her daughter Habren and named the river they were thrown into Severn (Habren). She reigned peacefully for fifteen years after Locrinus's death until she abdicated in favor of her son, Maddan. She lived the remainder of her life in Cornwall.
The Historia Regum Britanniae says that at the time of her death Samuel was judge in Judea , Aeneas Silvius was ruling Alba Longa , and Homer was gaining fame in Greece .
