Bisinus
Bisinus (sometimes Basinus, Besinus or Bisin, derived from " bisa " = wild) is the name of two Thuringian rulers who lived in the late 5th century to the time of the migration. Both are mentioned by Gregory of Tours in his Histories ( Gregor, Histories 2.12 and 3.4 ).
The said Gregor Bysinus first ruler to have been a ruler of the Thuringian 460. He is said to have received the products marketed by the Frankish King Childeric I. Great to himself who abducted him and his wife Basena with her allegedly Clovis I, the founder of the Frankish Empire, begat. The presentation is historical, however implausible, although Clovis mother actually said Basena. Perhaps this Bysinus is not historical, but only the second person ( see below). Gregor wrote this part of the history down to 575 and often used only to oral traditions that were not particularly reliable. The name Basena appeared frequently in the Thuringian nobility, the evidence excavation finds. Perhaps, the theory Gregor Basena could have confused with another person from the family circle of the Bysinus.
The second Bisinus prevailed by 500 over the Thuringian and has historically been better documented, he is therefore the first secured Thuringian king. Gregory of Tours does not mention his name, but the mention of two of his sons, who in Venantius Fortunatus ( 600 ) as sons of a Bisinus ( Bessinus ). This second Bisinus was married to a Langobardin called Menia. He had three sons: Bath Rich, Herminafried and Berthachar that were to follow him in different parts of the Empire, which was finally conquered by the Franks (531 /34). He also had a daughter Raicunda who was married to the Lombard King Wacho.
Today's evil castle that was called in the 12th century as Bisingburg is sometimes interpreted as a fortress of King Bisinus. On the local castle hill they found slight remains of an ancient fortress.
