At that time Albuin fought with the king of the Gippidi, Cunimund by name, and Cunimund died in that battle and the Gippidi were subjugated. Albuin took as his wife Cunimund's daughter Rosemunda, whom he had captured as booty, since his wife Flutsinda, who was the daughter of Flothar, king of the Franks, had already died.
