O próximo a ser assassinado foi Chilperico. De acordo com Gregório, Gundobad teve sua esposa afogada e Chilperico teve as duas filhas exiladas. A filha mais velha [[Chroma]] tornou-se freira. A outra [[Santa Clotilde|Clotilde]] foi vista por enviados de [[Clóvis I]], Rei dos Francos, que contaram a seu mestre de sua beleza e inteligência. Clóvis pediu a mão de Clotilde a Gundobad em casamento. Gundobad ficou com medo de lhe negar o pedido.
 
Em 494/496 o bispo [[Epifânio de Pavia]] visitou a Borgonha, possivelmente devido ao casamento do filho de Gundobad, [[Sigismundo]] com a filha de Teodorico. Nesta visita, [[Magnus Felix Ennodius]] descreve Godegisel como ''germanus regis'', o irmão do rei e não o rei - contradição com gregório de Tours.<ref>Ennodius, ''Vita Epifani'', 174; Shanzer and Wood, ''Avitus of Vienne'', pp. 17f</ref>

However, a letter written by [[Avitus]], bishop of [[Vienne, Isère|Vienne]], consoling Gundobad on the death of an unnamed daughter, gives details that suggest there was more to the story. According to the explication of Danuta Shanzer and Ian Wood of Avitus' notoriously difficult Latin, the bishop writes, "In the past, with ineffable tender-heartedness, you mourned the deaths of your brothers."<ref>Shanzer and Wood, ''Avitus of Vienne, letters and selected prose'' (Liverpool: University Press, 2002), p. 210.</ref> Further, Avitus alludes to Gundobad's intent to marry his deceased daughter to a foreign ruler, whom they suggest was Clovis: "Indeed," they write, "Clovis is really the only likely candidate as a prospective son-in-law for Gundobad shortly after 501."<ref>Shanzer and Wood, ''Avitus of Vienne'', p. 208</ref> If their reading is correct, then it is likely that Clotilde was offered to Clovis as a replacement, as an act of diplomacy not subservience.
 
At this point occurs the earliest firm date in Gundobad's reign: in AD 494/496 bishop [[Epiphanius of Pavia]] visited Burgundy, possibly in connection with the marriage of Gundobad's son [[Sigismund]] to Theodoric's daughter Ostrogotho. In his account of this visit, [[Magnus Felix Ennodius]], describes Godegisel as ''germanus regis'' the "king's brother" and not king -- again contradicting Gregory of Tour's later account.<ref>Ennodius, ''Vita Epifani'', 174; Shanzer and Wood, ''Avitus of Vienne'', pp. 17f</ref>
 
Gregory of Tours states the battle with his third brother, Godegisel, raged long. Unaware of the other's actions, each called upon Clovis trying to persuade him to join forces against the other. Clovis sided with Godegisel, who had offered him his pleasure of tribute; Wood observes archly that Clovis' wife, Clotilde, whose father had been killed by Gundobad, "was not likely to encourage good relations between the Franks and the Burgundians."<ref>Wood, ''The Merovingian Kingdoms'', p. 43</ref> Together they crushed Gundobad's force. Gundobad fled but King Clovis pursued him to [[Avignon]]. Gundobad feared the worst with Clovis's army at the gates. But one Aridius went from Gundobad to Clovis and convinced him to spare Gundobad in return for a yearly tribute.<ref>Gregory of Tours, ''History'', 2.32</ref> The chronicler [[Marius of Avenches]] dates this conflict to 500.
