Queen Gondiberga had been falsely accused of conspiring to poison her husband, the king, who then imprisoned her in a tower for three years. Only when an emissary of another king entreated her husband to put the matter to the 'judgement of God' did the king relent, and then only by allowing Gondiberga to choose a champion to fight a duel on her behalf against her accuser. The fight resulted in the accusers death and a declaration of Gondibergas innocence. She was restored to her palace and all her honors. In celebration, she founded San Giovanni Domnarum, endowing it with vast farmlands and precious ecclesiastical furnishings.
