The play “Fredegunda” is another appeal by Peter Hax to the events of bygone days. The plot centers on a real historical figure, Fredegund. Literally, this name is translated from Old High German as “peaceful warrior.” Fredegund was queen of the Franks in the 6th century. But at the beginning of her journey she was just a simple concubine. Fredegund killed the wife of the Frankish king Galsvinta and took her place, making enemies for herself and continuing the struggle for the power she received.
