In 523 -524 , possibly at the instigation of his mother Clotilde <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotilde>, who was eager to avenge her nephew who had been assassinated by Sigismund of Burgundy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigismund_of_Burgundy>, Chlodomer joined with his brothers in an expedition against the Burgundians <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundians>. After capturing Sigismund, Chlodomer returned to Orléans. However, Sigismund's brother Gondomar <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondomar_of_Burgundy> returned triumphantly to Burgundy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundy> at the head of the troops sent by his ally, the Ostrogothic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrogoth> king Theodoric the Great <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodoric_the_Great>. There, he massacred the garrison the Franks <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franks> had left behind.
Although victorious, Chlodomer had Sigismund and his sons Gisald and Gondebaud assassinated on May 1, 524. He then led a second expedition against the Burgundians.


He was killed on this expedition, in the spring or summer of the same year, at the Battle of Vézeronce <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_V%C3%A9zeronce>. His three sons were entrusted to his mother until his widow married Clotaire I <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotaire_I>. Clotaire, however, had Chlodomer's children killed, although Clodoald managed to escape. Better known as Saint Cloud, he later became abbot of Nogent <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nogent>, having given up his hair, the symbol of the Frankish royalty, rather than giving up his life.
