Saint Balthild of Ascania (/ˈbɔːltɪld/; Old English: Bealdhild ‘bold sword’ or ‘bold spear; around 626 – January 30 680) also called Bathilda Baudour or Bauthieult was the wife and queen of Clovis II the king of Burgundy and Neustria (639–658). Born in around 626–627 two traditions independent and conflicting collaborate to form the history of her life. One is a hagiography that was intended to further her successful candidature for sainthood.
