This chromolithograph captures a pivotal moment in history as King Chilperic I and Fredegonde burn the record of taxes. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases an event that symbolizes nobles' discontent with excessive taxation during this era. The image depicts King Chilperic I and his wife, Fredegonde, standing before a roaring fire. In their hands, they hold scrolls representing the burdensome tax records that have plagued their subjects for far too long. The flames dance around them, illuminating their determined expressions as they take a stand against oppressive wealth distribution. This historical scene sheds light on the struggles faced by both rulers and citizens alike during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how power dynamics influenced societal structures and economic policies in France. The vivid colors used in this chromolithograph bring to life the richness of French culture and history.
