https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childebert_III
Childebert III, called the Just (French: le Juste) (670 or probably 683 – 23 April 711),
son of Theuderic III and Clotilda (or Doda) and sole king of the Franks (695–711), he
was seemingly but a puppet of the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Heristal, though his
placita show him making judicial decisions of his own will, even against the Arnulfing
clan. His nickname has no comprehensible justification except possibly as a result of
these judgements, but the Liber Historiae Francorum calls him a "famous man" and
"the glorious lord of good memory, Childebert, the just king."[1] He had a son named
Dagobert, who succeeded him, as Dagobert III but his wife was not Edonne, the
invention of later fantasists. It is possible, though not likely, that Chlothar IV was also
his son. He spent almost his entire life in a royal villa on the Oise.
It was during his reign of sixteen years, in 708, that the bishop of Avranches, Saint
Aubert, at the urging of the Archangel Michael, founded the monastery of Mont-
Saint-Michel.
Upon his death on 23 April 711, southern Gaul began to grow independent: Burgundy
under Bishop Savaric of Auxerre, Aquitaine under Duke Odo the Great, and Provence
under Antenor. He died at St Etienne, Loire, France. He was buried in the church of
St Stephen at Choisy-au-Bac, near Compiègne.
