Guntram was a Merovingian king whose reign was marked by the harsh justice typical of his era. When his chamberlain Chundo was suspected of killing a wild animal, Guntram ordered him stoned to death on mere suspicion, demonstrating the absolute power and often arbitrary nature of Merovingian royal authority.
Description
A Merovingian king with the imposing presence of Frankish royalty. He wears elaborate royal robes of rich fabric decorated with gold embroidery, and a crown or circlet denoting his kingship. His long hair follows the distinctive Merovingian fashion, and his build is both royal and commanding. His face reflects the stern authority of a ruler whose word carries the power of life and death.
