Guntram was a Merovingian king of the Franks who governed the Kingdom of Orléans between 561 and 592. Born in Soissons, he was one of the surviving sons of Chlothar I. During his reign, he navigated complex political alliances and conflicts with his brothers and nephews. Known for his eventual devotion to Christian principles, he sought to rule justly and provided significant support to the church and the poor. He died in Chalon-sur-Saône, where he was buried in a church he had established.
