text_original: Still, before settling down, he wished to punish one of his sons, who had revolted a short time before, and therefore pursued him with an army. Clotaire overtook the Digitized by Google CLOTAIRE (558 561) 57 fugitive prince in Brittany, just as he was about 10 sail for England, and ordered his men to tie the unhappy man, his wife, and several small children, to the beams of a cottage, which was then set on fire. This is the last of Clotaire*s crimes recorded in history, for we are told that he lived only one year after committing this awful deed.
