     Basina II de Thuringia was born circa 438 at Thuringen, Germany.1 She was the daughter of King Basin of Thuringia and Basina de Saxe. Basina II de Thuringia married Childeric I, son of Merovech King of France and Verica, in 463; For as she herself said, "I want to have the most powerful man in the world, even if I have to cross the ocean for him". This remark of hers may have been related to Childeric's successful invasion of the Roman Empire and his attempt to settle a Frankish kingdom on Roman soil.
She is the mother of the man who is remembered as the founder of the Frankish realm and modern France.1 Basina II de Thuringia died in 477.1
