Saint Balthild of Ascania (
/ˈbɔːltɪld/; Old English: Bealdhild, "bold battle"; c. 626 – January 30, 680), also called Bathilda, Baudour, or Bauthieult, was the wife and queen of Clovis II, king of Burgundy and Neustria (639 – 658). Two traditions, independent and conflicting, trace what Wilhelm Levison accounted "truly an extraordinary career for an English slave sold to the Continent". One is a hagiography which was intended to further her successful candidature for sainthood. The other is a record of chroniclers, confirmed by a chance archaeological find in an East Anglian field. Balthild is also sometimes known by the unrelated name Varburgis.
