Chundo served as chamberlain to King Guntram, holding a position of trust within the royal household. His death came through stoning on mere suspicion of killing a wild animal, demonstrating the arbitrary nature of justice in the Frankish court where even trusted servants could fall victim to unfounded accusations and mob violence.
