She did, and Chilperic married her, much to the horror of his conniving ex-wife, Fredegonde. In what would soon turn out to be a horrible decision, she had the new wife strangled, and remarried Chilperic, thus securing the hate connection between her and her sister-in-law Brunehaut for the rest of their lives.
