Biography
Berthar or Bertachar was a son of Bisinus and Basina. He and his brothers Hermanfrid and Baderic succeeded their father Bisinus to the rule over the Thuringii. Berthar, however, was soon defeated by Hermanfrid in battle.
Berthar had one daughter, Radegund (later canonised), who married the Frankish king Clotaire I.
