Suavegotha (died after 549), also known as Suavegotta or Suavegotho, was probably the wife of Theudebert I, King of Metz (often called Austrasia)
She was the daughter Sigismund, King of Burgundy and Ostrogotho.
Gregory of Tours (Historian) states that Theuderic I, married a daughter of Sigismund, but he does not mention her name. She has been referred to as Queen Suavegotha, by the 10th century chronicler Flodoard.
He also said that she was the daughter of Sigismund's second wife, but is unlikely. When, on a feast day in 517, Sigeric(son) saw his stepmother dressed in his late mother's ceremonial clothes, he called out that she was unworthy to wear them. (Under Burgundian law, the clothes of his mother, should have gone to his sister, Suavegotha.) Sigismund later had the boy killed.
She had a son, Theudebert I, King of Metz (c. 500-547)
She was also the mother of, Theudechild, who founded the Abbey of Ste-Pierre le Vif at Sens.
