E07780Gregory of Tours, in his Histories (8.5), describes how during King Guntram's visit to Orléans (north-west Gaul) in July 585, the king told him of a vision, in which Guntram had seen *Tetricus (bishop of Langres, ob. 568/573, S00044), *Nicetius (bishop of Lyon, ob. 573, S00049) and *Agricola (bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône, ob. 580, S02830), deciding whether his brother, the recently dead King Chilperic, should be spared or condemned.
