Bladast
Bladast or Bladastes was a Frankish dux during the reigns of Chilperic I and Chlothar II.
In 583 or 581, Chilperic I gave the province of Aquitaine to Bladast and Desiderius and sent them into Vasconia with the Aquitainian army. They were defeated.[1]

gollark: The law is with you as long as few enough people start saying wrong things™ on the internet (or, well, specifically your platform) that people start complaining a lot. Public opinion might not be. The issue with making a new less-moderated version of something is that it inevitably attracts a few people who genuinely care about free speech a lot, and probably a lot who want to say terrible/stupid things somewhere.

gollark: I have 34Mbps up, 8Mbps down, which is not ideal but usable.
