Caretene

Caretene (also Caretena) (born c. 456 – died September 16, 506) was the wife of Gundobad, king of the Burgundians. Unlike her husband, who was an Arian, Caretene was a Catholic. She was probably the mother of Sigismund of Burgundy.

According to her epitaph, Caretene was known for helping the poor, and encouraging clemency toward her husband's prisoners. She is credited with founding a monastic Church of St. Michael in Lyons. Most likely, this church is also where she was buried.
