Abstract

H. W. Böhme interprets recently the necropolis of Aldaieta (Nanclares de Gamboa, Alava) as being the place where the members of the Frank army of Childebert I and Clotario were buried when, returning from the Hispania expedition in 541 they lost their at the hands of the Visigoths.

This is not the first time that the outstanding singularity of this necropolis is pointed out but perhaps it is the first time so explicitly. The author of present paper sustains that Aldaieta does not respond to a specific historical circumstance but that it gives testimony to a broader reality commune to western Europe that has been up until recently invisible in the southern territories of the Western Pyrenees.
