The kingdom of Bisinus was divided between his sons, Hermanfried, Berthar, and Baldrich; the first of whom married Amalberga, the daughter of Dietrich the Ostrogoth.  This wily princess contrived, by half covering his table, in sign of his only possessing half a kingdom, to rouse the ambition of her husband, who surprised and killed Berthar, and in order to strengthen himself against Baldrich, who was more on his guard, entered into an alliance with Theodorich, king of Austrasia, by whom Baldrich was subsequently defeated and slain.  Hermanfried afterwards refusing to divide his ill-won kingdom with the Franks, they united with the Saxons and defeated him in a pitched battle near Scheidingen [A.D. 529].  (The History of Germany, Menzel, v.1, 1848)
