Theodoric Ostrogoths - was born about 0454 in Verona, Italy and died on 30 Aug 0526 . He was the son of Theodemir Ostrogoths.

Theodoric married Andelfieda Meroving in Rheims,Marne,Loire-Atlantique,France. She was the daughter of King Childeric of France I and Princess Basina of the Thuringians. She died on 30 Apr 0535 .

(Ben M. Angel notes: although Theodoric the Great did marry Audofledis, he had no reliably recorded children by her. He had three recorded children by one or more concubines: Amalasuintha, Theodogotha, and Ostrogotho. Source: Medlands.)

Support for Crotechilde is very weak. According to at least one reliable researcher, the relationship between her and Fredegonde is likely fictional:

http://j.f.blanc.free.fr/LosAujolsdElisabetdeBrandoin13.pdf

Le fait de dire que Frédégonde est la fille du comte de Cambrai et d'une Crotechilde d'Ostrogothie tient de la fiction. Si elle avait réellement été la fille du comte de Cambrai, elle n'aurait pas attendu près de dix ans et deux accouchements hors mariage avant de se faire épouser par le roi Chilpéric !

Google translation:

To say that Fredegonde is the daughter of the Count of Cambrai and a Crotechilde of Ostrogothie is fiction. If she had really been the daughter of the Count of Cambrai, she would not have waited nearly ten years and two deliveries out of wedlock before being married by King Chilperic!
