REFN: 3444
King of Soissons 584-613
King of the Franks 613-629
When his father, King Chilperic I of Soissons died in 584, Chlotar was
not yet even born.Until 597, his kingdom was administered by his mother,
Queen Fredegund, but when she died that year he bagan to rule for
himself, now 13 years old. In 613, the Austrasian and Burgundian kings,
Theudebert II and Theuderic II respectively, had died, and Queen Brunhild
had placed the young Sigebert II on the throne of those two kingdoms.
That year, the 29 year old Chlotar had Sigebertand Brunhild killed, and
became the first king of all the Franks since his grandfather Chlotar I
died in 561.
In 615, Chlotar passed the Edict of Paris,a sort of French Magna Carta
that greatly pleased the nobles across the kingdom. In 623, he gave the
kingdom of Austrasia to his young son Dagobert I, which was a political
move giving Pepin I, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, andBishop Arnulf
of Metz, the two leading Austrasian nobles, semi-autonomy fortheir
loyalty to Chlotar. In 629, Chlotar died and Dagobert became sole king,
moving his capital from Austrasia to Paris.
