The estate was confirmed as possession of the bishoprics of Cologne and Metz by king Sigebert III in 640/647. In the charter Tribonum is said to have belonged to queen Brunhilda (d. 613) and later king Clotaire II (d. 614) and Dagobert I (d. 639).

To the editors: This is a test case to see if you think this place qualifies in Pleiades. Tribonum (Trébosc) is attested in a medieval copy (9th century) of a Merovingian charter issued by king Sigebert III (640/647). In the charter, the prehistory of Tribonum is mentioned, the estate saying having belonged to queen Brunhilda (executed 613), and the kings Clotaire II and Dagobert I. This goes back to the period which Pleiades covers, the Late Antique period up to 640. It is likely that this Frankish fiscal estate goes back even further.
