This article discusses sources relating to the profile and roles. of the Visigothic queens. It emphasises how some of the marriages are connected with concrete political agendas. Different cases concerned with particular, political strategies are examined; among them, those of queen Baddo and queen Ermemberga, married to the Merovingian Theoderic. There were different contemporary opinions in favour or against royal marriage with lowborn women: lowborn queens did exist despite the criticisms, but their offspring had even fewer chances of success than those with solid aristocratic connections.
