  Dagobert I (Latin: Dagobertus; c. 603 – 19 January 639 AD) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last king of the Merovingian dynasty to wield any real royal power.[2] Dagobert was the first of the Frankish kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.[3]
  
  Rule in Austrasia
  Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604) and the grandson of Fredegund.[4] Chlothar had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 622, Chlothar made Dagobert king of Austrasia,[5] almost certainly to bind the Austrasian nobility to the ruling Franks.[4] As a child, Dagobert lived under the care of the Carolingian dynasty forebears and Austrasian magnates, Arnulf of Metz and Pepin of Landen.[6]
  
  Chlothar attempted to manage the unstable alliances he had with other noble families throughout much of Dagobert's reign.[7] When Chlothar granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to Dagobert. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin—who incidentally established monasteries in Alsace and Burgundy[8]—the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty. While Austrasian rulers such as Chlothar and Dagobert controlled these regions through part of the seventh-century, they eventually became autonomous kingdoms as powerful aristocratic families sought separate paths across their respective realms.[9]
  
  United rule
  
  Upon the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and became sole king of the Franks. He later gave the Aquitaine to Charibert as a "consolation prize."[10] In 629, Dagobert concluded a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, which entailed enforcing the compulsory baptism of Jews throughout his kingdom.[11] Besides signing this treaty, Dagobert also took steps to secure trade across his empire by protecting important markets along the mouth of the Rhine at Duurstede and Utrecht, which in part explains his later determination to defend the Austrasian Franks from the Avar menace.[12]
  
  Under the rule of Dagobert's father and like-minded Merovingians, Frankish society during the seventh-century experienced greater integration—the Catholic faith became predominant for instance—and a generally improved economic situation, but there was no initial impetus for the political unification of Gaul. Clothar II did not seek to force his Neustrian neighbors into submission, choosing instead a policy of cooperation.[13] This did not prohibit plunder-raids to replenish the dynastic coffers, which Dagobert undertook in Spain for example—one raid there earned him 200,000 gold solidi.[14] Historian Ian Wood claims that Dagobert "was probably richer than most Merovingian monarchs" and cites for example his assistance to the Visigoth Sisenand—whom he aided in his rise to the Visigothic throne in Spain—and for which, Sisenand awarded Dagobert a golden dish weighing some five-hundred pounds.[15]
  
  When Charibert and his son Chilperic were assassinated in 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West. In 631, Dagobert led a large army against Samo, the ruler of the Slavic Wends, partly at the request of the Germanic peoples living in the eastern territories and also due to Dagobert's quarrel with him about the Wends having robbed and killed a number of Frankish merchants.[16] While Dagobert's Austrasian forces were defeated at the Wogastisburg,[17] his Alemmanic and Lombard allies were successful in repelling the Wends.[18] Taking advantage of the situation at the time, the Saxons offered to help Dagobert if he agreed to rescind the 500 cow yearly tribute to the Austrasians. Despite accepting this agreement, Fredegar reports that it was to little avail since the Wends attacked again the following year.[18]
  
  Rule in Neustria, from Paris
  Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier. In historian Ian Wood's view, Dagobert's creation of a sub-kingdom for his son Sigibert had "important long-term implications for the general structure of Merovingian Francia."[19]
  
  King of the Franks. In 622 Dagobert's father made him king of Austrasia, a political move calculated to bind the nobility to the Franks. After his father's death, he inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. By 632, he also had Burgundy and Acquitaine under his rule, becoming the King of all Franks. He made Paris his capital. He built the Altes Shloss in Meersburg still in use today and supervised the construction of Saint Denis Basilica. Despite a lukewarm military record, he did protect his lands against various raiders and invaders. He was considered one of the most powerful Merovingian kings and one of the most respected. He was the first king to be buried in Saint Denis Basilica. His life and reign prompted a biography in 830, a nursery rhyme "Le bon Rio Dagobert" in 1750 and as late as 1984, a comedy with the same name.
  
  === Dagobert I der Merovingen ===
  He became King of Austrasia in 623 and at the death of his father the sole King of the Franks.
  By 632 he had also brought Burgandy and Aquitaine under his rule, becoming the most powerful of the Merovingian Kings and the most respected sovereign in the West. He made Paris his capital; St.Eloi was his principal advisor, and his rule was marked by the building of numerous monasteries and the strengthening of the royal power.
  At his death the Frankish kingdom was divided between his sons.
  
  Dagobert I was (met Clovis I) zonder enige twijfel de bekendste der merovingers, hij had in ieder geval zeggenschap over het gehele rijk der Franken en wist dat zeer goed aan zijn buurlanden over te brengen, hij wist een gezonde schatkist op te bouwen, een goede structuur van de kerk en was omringd door een raad van sterke mannen als Ouen, Eloi, Didier van Cahors en Paul van Verdun, waarvan de eerste drie heilig werden verklaard.
  In 623 werd zijn vader koning van beide rijksdelen en droeg Dagobert opde machtige edelen van Austrasie de hofmeier Pepijn en Arnulf bisschop van Metz te beteugelen, Dagobert wist zich snel onder de hoede van zijn vader uit te werken en als onafhankelijk vorst te regeren, hoewel hij in 625 nog een huwelijk moest accepteren met de zuster van zijn stiefmoeder Sichilde, Gomatrude, in 629 verkreeg hij ongeveer het hele koninkrijk maar moest daarvoor wel zijn half-broer Caribert II en de partij rond hem gevormd, elimineren, hij liet hem slechts een kleine strook rond Toulouseen bij diens dood in 632 verwierf hij ook dit laatste deel, in 631 vestigde hij zich definitief te Parijs, verstootte Gertrude onder het motto dat ze geen kinderen kon krijgen en trouwde de neustrische Nantilde, datzelfde jaar werd hij tijdens een tour door Austrasie in 630 verliefd op een jong meisje Ragentrude bij wie hij een zoon Sigebert verwekte die alsSigebert III koning van Austrasie werd, in 633 voerde hij een oorlog tegen de Wenden een slavisch volk onder gezag van een Samo, een frank, doorgeringe medewerking van de Austrasiers voerde deze oorlog niet tot succes, inmiddels bracht Nantilde ook een zoon ter wereld, Clovis, en Dagobert kwam met de Austrasische edelen overeen dat deze Clovis slechts Neustrie en Bourgondie zou erven, de laatste jaren voerde hij oorlog tegen Saksen en vooral tegen Gascogne, tegen de laatste ondernam hij een expeditiedie de bloem der edelen bevatte, hoewel de expeditie met succes werd bekroond, werd vlak bij de spaanse grens de hertog Arembert in een vernietigende hinderlaag gelokt, een feit waarin we een van de oorsprongen van de legende van het Roelantslied kunnen herkennen.

  In 623, Dagobert's father, Chlotar II, King of the Franks, made him king of Austrasia to please the leading Austrasian nobles: Mayor of the Palace Pepin I and Saint Arnulf, Bishop of Metz. When Chlotar died in 629, Dagobert became sole King ofthe Franks, and he moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobertleft the council of Pepin for a more flexible Neustrian Mayor of the Palace.In 632, he was forced to put his three-year old son Sigebert on the throne of Austrasia as the nobles were in revolt, however Pepin was not made his Mayor of the Palace. The Neustrian nobles then wished to unite with Burgundy, and so they urged Dagobert to put his son Clovis II as king of both those kingdoms, although he was only 5 years old and could be easily manipulated by the nobles. When Dagobert died in 639, the nobles of the kingdoms controlled both his sons, now puppet kings. Dagobert I, King des Francs. Born: in 603, son of Clotaire=Chlothar II,King de Soissons and Bertrude, Some sources assert that Dagobert I wasborn in the year 606. Note - between 623 and 629: Dagobert I became Kingof Austrasie in 623 and King of the Franks in 629. At the age of about 25years, Dagobert, son of Clotaire II and of Bertrade, takes over thesuccession without difficulty. He must first determine the fate of hishalf-brother Charibert (son of Queen Sichilde), for whom his uncleBrodulf wanted to yield at least Neustria. Dagobert does not cimply andpurely eliminate his half-brother, but he sends him to Aquitaine byyielding to him the cities of Saintes, Perigeux, Toulouse, Cahors, Agenand the countryside between Garonne and the Pyrenees whose residents hadtaken advantage of the troubles in the kingdom to ally themselves withthe Basques. Dagobert wins Dijon and also Saint-Jean-de-Losne where helives for a few days and meets out justice. The day of his departure fromLosne to Chalon, as he bathes before sunrise, he has Brodulf, Uncles ofhis half-brother Charibert, assassinated, the murder being ex ecuted bytwo of Dagobert's sons and the patrician Guillebaud. In 630, henegotiates a Treaty with the Emperor of Byzantium, Heraclius, a perpetualpeace through the intermediary of his envoys, Servais and Paterne. Uponhis return to Paris, Dagobert repudiates his wife Gomatrude, sister ofQueen Sichilde, herself married to the deceased Clotaire II, Dagobert'sfather. He immediately, in 631, marries Nanthilde, a simple housekeeper.The reign of Nantilde lasts only a few years. Dagobert surrounds himselfwith other women, Vulfegonde, then Berthilde, finally Raintrude, anAustrasian, whom he took as concubine in the eighth year of his reign. Hewas skillfully taught and supported by his Ministers Saint Eloi [who wasDagobert's treasurer and then became Bishop after Dagobert died] andDadon [alias Saint Ouen, who became Bishop of Rouen in 641 and who wasinstrumental in the founding of several monasteries including those ofSaint-Wandrille, Rebais, and of Jumieges]. He fought the Austrasians andgave them his son, Sigebert, as next king at age 3 [in fact the Bishop ofCologne and a Duke will govern in his name] . With the Austrasian armiesand the support of the Saxons and the Lombards, Dagobert overwhelms theWendes [Slavic resident of the area between the Oder, the Elbe and thesuperior branch of the Danube] at Wogalisbourg (in Styria, near Gratz) in632]. He fought the Gascons, the Slavs and the Saxons. He was the lastdirect Merovingien King, he was able to delay the dissolution of theFrankish Empire. In December of 638, Dagobert is stricken with anintestinal disease in his domaine of Epinay-sur-Seine, and trusts hisMayor of Neustria, Aega, the fate of his wife Nanthilde as well as thatof his son Clovis II. On 19 January 639, Dagobert has himself transportedto Saint-Denis.

  === Life story ===
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575-604). Chlothar II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 623, Chlothar was forced to make Dagobert king of Austrasia by the nobility of that region, who wanted a king of their own.
  
  When Chlothar II granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to Dagobert. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty.
  
  On the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.
  
  Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.
  
  In 631, Dagobert led three armies against Samo, the rulers of the Slavs, but his Austrasian forces were defeated at Wogastisburg.
  
  Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier.
  
  As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica, at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.
  
  Dagobert died in the abbey of Saint-Denis and was the first French king to be buried in the Saint Denis Basilica, Paris.
  
  The pattern of division and assassination which characterizes even the strong king Dagobert's reign continued for the next century until Pepin the Short finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families who exercised feudal control over most of the land.
  
  Dagobert was immortalized in the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.
  
  According to the Dan Brown novel The Da Vinci Code, King Dagobert was a descendant of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.
  
  Dagobert was a serial monogamist.
  
  He married Nanthild and they had the following:
  
  Clovis II, who inherited the rest of his kingdom at a young age when his father died.
  Regintrud who married into the Bavarian Agilolfings, either Theodo, Duke of Bavaria or his son Duke in Salzburg.
  He also had a mistress named Ragintrudis (Ragnetrude) and they had the following:
  
  Sigebert III
  His other wives were:
  
  Wulfefundis (Wulfegunde)
  Bertechildis (Berthilde)
  Gomentrude

  Merovingian and Carolingian age
  The Merovingians The failure of reunification (613–714)
  Chlotar II and Dagobert I Chlotar II, king of Neustria since 584, took control of Burgundy and Austrasia in 613 upon the brutal execution of Brunhild, and thus a united kingdom once again was created. He fixed his capital at Paris and, in 614, convoked a council there, at which he recognized the traditional prerogatives of the aristocracy (Gallo-Roman and Germanic) in order to gain their support in the governing of the kingdom.
  His son Dagobert I (ruled 629–639) was able to preserve this unity; he journeyed to Burgundy, where the highest political office, mayor of the palace, was maintained, to Austrasia, and to Aquitaine, which was given the status of a duchy.
  He thus recognized structures of imperial origin. Dagobert had only limited success along the frontier. In 638 he placed the Bretons and the Gascons under nominal subjection, but ties with these peripheral regions were tenuous.
  He intervened in dynastic quarrels of Spain,entering the country and going as far as Saragossa before receiving tribute and quitting the country. Septimania remained Visigothic. On the eastern frontier there were incidents involving Frankish merchants and Moravian and Czech Slavs; after the failure of a campaign conducted by Dagobert, with the assistance of the Lombards and Bavarians (633), the Slavs attacked Thuringia. The king reached an agreement with the Saxons, who would protectthe eastern frontier in return for remission of a tribute they had paid since 536. Thus Dagobert used traditional imperial techniques to protect the frontiers with more or less Romanized barbarians. The hegemony of Neustria The territorial struggles began anew after 639. In Neustria,Austrasia, and Burgundy, power was in the hands of aristocratic leaders, called the mayors of the palace. Ebroïn, mayor of the palace in Neustria, attempted to unifythe kingdom under his leadership but met with violent opposition. Resistance in Burgundy was led by Bishop Leodegar, who was assassinated in about 679. (He was later canonized.) Austrasia was governed by the Pepinid mayors of the palace; Pepin I of Landen was succeeded by his son Grimoald, who tried unsuccessfully to have his son, Childebert the Adopted, crowned king, and by Pepin II of Herstal (or Héristal), whom Ebroïn was briefly able to keep from power (c. 680). Frankish hegemony was once more threatened in the peripheral areas, esp ecially to the east where Austrasia was endangered. The Thuringians (640–641) and Alemanni regained their independence. The Frisians reached the mouth of the Schelde and controlled the towns of Utrecht and Dorestat; the attempted conversion of Frisia by Wilfrid of Northumbria had to be abandoned (c.680). In southern Gaul, Duke Lupus changed the status of Aquitaine from that of a duchy to an independent principality. Merovingian and Carolingian age The Merovingians The failure of reunification (613–714) Austrasian hegemony and the rise of the Pepinids The murder of Ebroïn (680 or 683) reversed the situation in favour of Austrasia and the Pepinids. Pepin II, who defeated the Neustrians at Tertry in 687, reunified northern Francia under his own control during the next decade. Austrasia and Neustria were reunited under a Merovingian figurehead, but Pepin II governed by virtue of his position as mayor of the palace. At the same time, Pepin II partially restabilized the frontiers of northern Francia by driving the Frisians north of the Rhine and by restoring Frankish suzerainty over the Alemanni. But control of southern Gaul continued to elude Pepin II and his supporters. In the early 8th century, Provence became an autonomous duchy, while power in Burgundy was divided.

  Chlotar II and Dagobert I Chlotar II, king of Neustria since 584, took control of Burgundy and Austrasia in 613 upon the brutal execution of Brunhild, and thus a united kingdom once again was created. He fixed his capital at Paris and, in 614, convoked a council there, at which he recognized the traditional prerogatives of the aristocracy (Gallo-Roman and Germanic) in order to gain their support in the governing of the kingdom. His son Dagobert I (ruled 629–639) was able to preserve this unity; he journeyed to Burgundy, where the highest political office, mayor of the palace, was maintained, to Austrasia, and to Aquitaine, which was given the status of a duchy. He thus recognized structures of imperial origin. Dagobert had only limited success along the frontier. In 638 he placed the Bretons and the Gascons under nominal subjection, butties with these peripheral regions were tenuous. He intervened in dynastic quarrels of Spain, entering the country and going as far as Saragossa before receiving tribute and quitting the country. Septimania remained Visigothic. On the eastern frontier there were incidents involving Frankish merchants and Moravian and Czech Slavs; after the failure of a campaign conducted by Dagobert, with the assistance of the Lombards and Bavarians (633), the Slavs attacked Thuringia. The king reached an agreement with the Saxons, who would protect the eastern frontier in return for remission of a tribute they had paid since 536. Thus Dagobert used traditional imperial techniques to protect the frontiers with more or less Romanized barbarians.

  Dagobert I was (met Clovis I) zonder enige twijfel de bekendste der merovingers, hij had in ieder geval zeggenschap over het gehele rijk der Franken en wist dat zeer goed aan zijn buurlanden over te brengen, hij wist een gezonde schatkist op te bouwen, een goede structuur van de kerk en was omringd door een raad van sterke mannen als Ouen, Eloi, Didier van Cahors en Paul van Verdun, waarvan de eerste drie heilig werden verklaard.
  In 623 werd zijn vader koning van beide rijksdelen en droeg Dagobert opde machtige edelen van Austrasie de hofmeier Pepijn en Arnulf bisschop van Metz te beteugelen, Dagobert wist zich snel onder de hoede van zijn vader uit te werken en als onafhankelijk vorst te regeren, hoewel hij in 625 nog een huwelijk moest accepteren met de zuster van zijn stiefmoeder Sichilde, Gomatrude, in 629 verkreeg hij ongeveer het hele koninkrijk maar moest daarvoor wel zijn half-broer Caribert II en de partij rond hem gevormd, elimineren, hij liet hem slechts een kleine strook rond Toulouseen bij diens dood in 632 verwierf hij ook dit laatste deel, in 631 vestigde hij zich definitief te Parijs, verstootte Gertrude onder het motto dat ze geen kinderen kon krijgen en trouwde de neustrische Nantilde, datzelfde jaar werd hij tijdens een tour door Austrasie in 630 verliefd op een jong meisje Ragentrude bij wie hij een zoon Sigebert verwekte die alsSigebert III koning van Austrasie werd, in 633 voerde hij een oorlog tegen de Wenden een slavisch volk onder gezag van een Samo, een frank, doorgeringe medewerking van de Austrasiers voerde deze oorlog niet tot succes, inmiddels bracht Nantilde ook een zoon ter wereld, Clovis, en Dagobert kwam met de Austrasische edelen overeen dat deze Clovis slechts Neustrie en Bourgondie zou erven, de laatste jaren voerde hij oorlog tegen Saksen en vooral tegen Gascogne, tegen de laatste ondernam hij een expeditiedie de bloem der edelen bevatte, hoewel de expeditie met succes werd bekroond, werd vlak bij de spaanse grens de hertog Arembert in een vernietigende hinderlaag gelokt, een feit waarin we een van de oorsprongen van de legende van het Roelantslied kunnen herkennen.
  
  === King of Austrasia, King of France, Great ===
  King of Austrasia, King of France, Greatest of Merovingian Kings Dagobert I, King des Francs. Born: in 603, son of Clotaire=ChlotharII, King de Soissons and Bertrude, Some sources assert that Dagobert Iwas born in the year 606. Note - between 623 and 629: Dagobert Ibecame King of Austrasie in 623 and King of the Franks in 629. At theage of about 25 years, Dagobert, son of Clotaire II and of Bertrade,takes over the succession without difficulty. He must first determinethe fate of his half-brother Charibert (son of Queen Sichilde), forwhom his uncle Brodulf wanted to yield at least Neustria. Dagobertdoes not cimply and purely eliminate his half-brother, but he sendshim to Aquitaine by yielding to him the cities of Saintes, Perigeux,Toulouse, Cahors, Agen and the countryside between Garonne and thePyrenees whose residents had taken advantage of the troubles in thekingdom to ally themselves with the Basques. Dagobert wins Dijon andalso Saint-Jean-de-Losne where he lives for a few days and meets outjustice. The day of his departure from Losne to Chalon, as he bathesbefore sunrise, he has Brodulf, Uncles of his half-brother Charibert,assassinated, the murder being executed by two of Dagobert's sons andthe patrician Guillebaud. In 630, he negotiates a Treaty with theEmperor of Byzantium, Heraclius, a perpetual peace through theintermediary of his envoys, Servais and Paterne. Upon his return toParis, Dagobert repudiates his wife Gomatrude, sister of QueenSichilde, herself married to the deceased Clotaire II, Dagobert'sfather. He immediately, in 631, marries Nanthilde, a simplehousekeeper. The reign of Nantilde lasts only a few years. Dagobertsurrounds himself with other women, Vulfegonde, then Berthilde,finally Raintrude, an Austrasian, whom he took as concubine in theeighth year of his reign. He was skillfully taught and supported byhis Ministers Saint Eloi [who was Dagobert's treasurer and then becameBishop after Dagobert died] and Dadon [alias Saint Ouen, who becameBisho p of Rouen in 641 and who was instrumental in the founding ofseveral monasteries including those of Saint-Wandrille, Rebais, and ofJumieges]. He fought the Austrasians and gave them his son, Sigebert,as next king at age 3 [in fact the Bishop of Cologne and a Duke willgovern in his name] . With the Austrasian armies and the support ofthe Saxons and the Lombards, Dagobert overwhelms the Wendes [Slavicresident of the area between the Oder, the Elbe and the superiorbranch of the Danube] at Wogalisbourg (in Styria, near Gratz) in 632].He fought the Gascons, the Slavs and the Saxons. He was the lastdirect Merovingien King, he was able to delay the dissolution of theFrankish Empire. In December of 638, Dagobert is stricken with anintestinal disease in his domaine of Epinay-sur-Seine, and trusts hisMayor of Neustria, Aega, the fate of his wife Nanthilde as well asthat of his son Clovis II. On 19 January 639, Dagobert has himselftransported to Saint-Denis, where he dies in one of the buildingsadjoing the Basilica. He is the first Monarch of France to have chosenSaint-Denis as the final restiing place. It is there that Saint Deniswas martyred in the third century, along with his companions SaintRustique and Saint Eleuthere. In the fifth century, the Gallo-Romancemetery was levelled and the basilica built. Married before 626:Gomatrude; Gomatrude was the first of five wives. Married before 629:Ragnetrud d'Austrasie; Ragnetrud was the third of Dagobert I's fivewives. Married before 634: Nantechild. Died: in 639.
  
  === HISTORY OF NATIONS, pg. 65: Dagobert ha ===
  HISTORY OF NATIONS, pg. 65: Dagobert had been carefully educated by Pippin of Landen, the royal steward of Clotar II, and by Arnulf, the Bishop of Metz. He had no quality of greatness, but he promised to be, at least, a good and just sovereign. In fact, that system of freedom which the Germanic races had so long possessed was already shaken to its very base. During the long & bloody feuds of the Merovingian kings many changes had been made in the the details of government, all tending to increase the power of the nobles, the civil officers, and the dignitaries of the church. Wealth--the bribes paid for their support-- had accumulated in the hands of these classes, while the farmers, mechanics, and tradesmen, plundered in turn by both parties, had constantly grown poorer. Al- though the external signs of civilization had increased, the race had already lost much of its moral character and some of the best features of its political system. Before Dagobert's death--during the life of Clotar II--a new power had grown within the kingdom of the Franks which gradually pushed the Merovingian dynasty out of its place. The history of this power, after 638 becomes the his- tory of the realm, the Dynasty of the Mayors of the Palace 638-768 A.D.

  === {geni:about_me} Rei da Austrasie (623-63 ===
  {geni:about_me} Rei da Austrasie (623-634) e Rei de Burgondie (629-639), Neustrie (629-639) e depois dos Francs (629-639)Dagoberto era o filho mais velho de Clotário II e Berthetrude (ou possivelmente Haldetrude). Clotário reinou sozinho sobre todos os francos desde 613, e Dagoberto se tornou rei da Austrásia quando seus nobres independentes exigiram um rei próprio. Em 623, Clotário instalou seu filho Dagoberto na Austrásia.Com a morte de seu pai em 629, Dagoberto herdou os reinos da Nêustria e da Borgonha. Seu meio irmão Cariberto, filho de Sichilde, reinvidicou a Nêustriamas Dagoberto se opôs a ele. Brodulf, irmão de Sichilde, suplicou a Dagoberto em nome de seu jovem sobrinho, mas Dagoberto o assassinou e cedeu a seu jovem irmão a Aquitânia.Cariberto morreu em 632, e seu filho Chilperico foi assassinado por ordem de Dagoberto. Em 632, Dagoberto tinha a Aquitânia e a Borgonha firmemente sob seu domínio, tornando-se o mais poderoso rei merovíngio em muitos anos e o mais respeitado governante do Ocidente.Também em 632, os nobres da Austrásia se revoltaram sob a liderança do prefeito do palácio, Pepino de Landen. Em 634, Dagoberto aplacou os nobres rebeldes colocando seu filho de apenas três anos de idade, Sigeberto III, no trono, e através disso cedendo o poder real no mais oriental dos seus reinos, justamente como seu pai tinha feito com ele onze anos antes.Como rei, Dagoberto fez de Paris sua capital. Durante seu reino, ele construiu Altes Schloss (Castelo Antigo) em Meersburg (na atual Alemanha), que atualmente é o mais antigo castelo habitado desse país. Religioso devoto, Dagoberto também foi responsável pela construção da Basílica de Saint-Denis no lugar de um monastério beneditino em Paris.Em 631, Dagoberto liderou três exércitos contra Samo, rei eslavo, mas suas forças austrasianas foram derrotadas em Wogatisburg.Dagoberto morreu em 639, e foi o primeiro dos reis franceses a ser sepultado nas tumbas reais de Saint-Denis. Seu segundo filho, Clóvis II, de seu casamento com Nantilde, herdou o resto de seu reino muito jovem.O padrão de divisão e assassinato que caracterizou até mesmo o poderoso reinado de Dagoberto continuou no século seguinte até Pepino o Breve finalmente depor o último rei merovíngio em 751, estabelecendo a dinastia carolíngia. Os reis-meninos merovíngios permaneceram governantes fantoches que herdavam o trono ainda crianças e viviam apenas o bastante paragerar um herdeiro masculino ou dois, enquanto o poder real ficava nas mãos das famílias nobres (a velha nobreza) que exercia controle feudal sobre a maior parte das terras.Dagoberto foi imortalizado na canção Le bon roi Dagobert (O bom rei Dagoberto), uma música infantil retratando as trocas entre o rei e seu principal conselheiro, Santo Elígio (Saint Eloi em francês). As rimas satíricas colocam Dagoberto em várias posições ridículas das quais os bons conselhos de Elígio conseguem retirá-lo. O texto, que provavelmente se originou no século XVIII, tornou-se extremamente popular como uma expressão do sentimento anti-monarquista da Revolução Francesa. Exceto por colocar Dagoberto e Elísio em suas respectivas funções, a canção não tem nenhuma precisão histórica.
  
  === The Frankish Kingsoms of Neustria, Austr ===
  The Frankish Kingsoms of Neustria, Austrasia and Burgundy were united briefly under Dagobert I from 629 until his death in 639. According to ancient Frankish law and tradition, the kingdom was split up among his sons. Dagobert I was the last great Merovingian ruler. After his death, powerful officials and aristocratic families played an ever increasing role in ruling the various kingdoms of the Franks. Died in 639

When Chlotar died in 629,Dagobert became sole King of the Franks, and he moved his capital fromAustrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobert left the council of Pepin for a moreflexible Neustrian Mayor of the Palace. In 632, he was forced to put histhree-year old son Sigebert on the throne of Austrasia as the nobles werein revolt, however Pepin was not made his Mayor of the Palace. TheNeustrian nobles then wished to unite with Burgundy, and so they urgedDagobert to put his son Clovis II as king of both those kingdoms,although he was only 5 years old and could be easily manipulated by thenobles.

   Note: Dagobert I (Latin: Dagobertus; c. 603 – 19 January 639 AD) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last king of the Merovingian dynasty to wield any real royal power.[2] Dagobert was the first of the Frankish kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.[3] Rule in Austrasia Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604) and the grandson of Fredegund.[4] Chlothar had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 622, Chlothar made Dagobert king of Austrasia,[5] almost certainly to bind the Austrasian nobility to the ruling Franks.[4] As a child, Dagobert lived under the care of the Carolingian dynasty forebears and Austrasian magnates, Arnulf of Metz and Pepin of Landen.[6] Chlothar attempted to manage the unstable alliances he had with other noble families throughout much of Dagobert's reign.[7] When Chlothar granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to Dagobert. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin—who incidentally established monasteries in Alsace and Burgundy[8]—the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty. While Austrasian rulers such as Chlothar and Dagobert controlled these regions through part of the seventh-century, they eventually became autonomous kingdoms as powerful aristocratic families sought separate paths across their respective realms.[9] United rule Upon the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and became sole king of the Franks. He later gave the Aquitaine to Charibert as a "consolation prize."[10] In 629, Dagobert concluded a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, which entailed enforcing the compulsory baptism of Jews throughout his kingdom.[11] Besides signing this treaty, Dagobert also took steps to secure trade across his empire by protecting important markets along the mouth of the Rhine at Duurstede and Utrecht, which in part explains his later determination to defend the Austrasian Franks from the Avar menace.[12] Under the rule of Dagobert's father and like-minded Merovingians, Frankish society during the seventh-century experienced greater integration—the Catholic faith became predominant for instance—and a generally improved economic situation, but there was no initial impetus for the political unification of Gaul. Clothar II did not seek to force his Neustrian neighbors into submission, choosing instead a policy of cooperation.[13] This did not prohibit plunder-raids to replenish the dynastic coffers, which Dagobert undertook in Spain for example—one raid there earned him 200,000 gold solidi.[14] Historian Ian Wood claims that Dagobert "was probably richer than most Merovingian monarchs" and cites for example his assistance to the Visigoth Sisenand—whom he aided in his rise to the Visigothic throne in Spain—and for which, Sisenand awarded Dagobert a golden dish weighing some five-hundred pounds.[15] When Charibert and his son Chilperic were assassinated in 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West. In 631, Dagobert led a large army against Samo, the ruler of the Slavic Wends, partly at the request of the Germanic peoples living in the eastern territories and also due to Dagobert's quarrel with him about the Wends having robbed and killed a number of Frankish merchants.[16] While Dagobert's Austrasian forces were defeated at the Wogastisburg,[17] his Alemmanic and Lombard allies were successful in repelling the Wends.[18] Taking advantage of the situation at the time, the Saxons offered to help Dagobert if he agreed to rescind the 500 cow yearly tribute to the Austrasians. Despite accepting this agreement, Fredegar reports that it was to little avail since the Wends attacked again the following year.[18] Rule in Neustria, from Paris Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier. In historian Ian Wood's view, Dagobert's creation of a sub-kingdom for his son Sigibert had "important long-term implications for the general structure of Merovingian Francia."[19] Detail of Dagobert's tomb, thirteenth century As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris. He also appointed St. Arbogast bishop of Strasbourg.[20] Dagobert was beloved in many ways according to Fredegar, who wrote that "He rendered justice to rich and poor alike," adding that, "he took little sleep or food, and cared only so to act that all men should leave his presence full of joy and admiration."[21] Such images do not fully convey the power and domination wielded by Frankish kings like Dagobert, who along with his father Chlothar, reigned to such a degree that historian Patrick Geary described the period of their combined rule as the "apogee of Merovingian royal power."[22] Dagobert went down in history as one of the greatest Frankish kings, having held his lands against the eastern hordes and with noblemen as far away as Bavaria, who sought his overlordship.[23] Only thirty-six when he died, Dagobert constituted the last of the great Merovingian kings, who, according to J.M. Wallace-Hadrill, "had the ruthless energy of a Clovis and the cunning of a Charlemagne."[23] Despite having more or less united the Frankish realms, he likely was not expecting unitary rule to continue given the diverging interests of the Austrasian and Neustrian Franks, atop those of the Aquitanians and Burgundians.[23] Upon his death, he was buried in the abbey of Saint Denis Basilica, Paris, the first Frankish king to be buried there.[24] Dagobert's internment at Saint-Denis established a precedent for the burial of future French rulers there.[25]

   Publication: Name: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Dagobert-I;
   Note: Dagobert I, (born 605—died Jan. 19, 639, Saint-Denis, France), the last Frankish king of the Merovingian dynasty to rule a realm united in more than name only. The son of Chlotar II, Dagobert became king of Austrasia in 623 and of the entire Frankish realm in 629. Dagobert secured his realm by making a friendship treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, defeating the Gascons and Bretons, and campaigning against the Slavs on his eastern frontier. In 631 he sent an army to Spain to help the Visigothic usurper Swinthila (Svintila). He moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris, a central location from which the kingdom could be governed more effectively. He then appeased the Austrasians by making his three-year-old son Sigebert their king in 634. Famed for his love of justice, Dagobert was nevertheless greedy and dissolute. He was succeeded by Sigebert III and another son, Clovis II. The prosperity of Dagobert’s reign, and the revival of the arts during this period, can be judged from the rich contents of the tombs of the period and from the goldsmiths’ work for the churches. Dagobert revised Frankish law, encouraged learning, patronized the arts, and founded the first great abbey of Saint-Denis, to which he made many gifts.

   Note: DAGOBERT, son of CLOTAIRE II King of the Franks & his second wife Beretrudis [Bertrada or Berthe] ([610/11-Saint-Denis 19 Jan 639, bur église abbatiale de Saint-Denis). The Gesta Dagoberti names "Dagobertus" as son of "Chlotharius filius Chilperici…ex Bertedrude regina"[382]. His father appointed him as DAGOBERT I King of the Franks in Austrasia in 623, under pressure from the Austrasian aristocracy to have their own king. He was educated by Pépin de Landen, maior domus in Austrasia, and Arnoul Bishop of Metz. He succeeded his father in 629, was able to confine the government of his half-brother to the south-west of France, and even acquired this land on his half-brother's death in 631, establishing himself as sole king of the Franks based in Paris. Under pressure once again from the Austrasians for their own king, Dagobert appointed his son Sigebert to rule as king of Austrasia at Metz in [633/34]. Bede records that Æthelberg Queen of Northumbria sent her two children "in Galliam" to her friend "regi Daegberecto" after she fled to France following the death of her husband King Eadwine in battle in 633[383]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records the death of "rex Daygobertus" from a fever at "Spinogilo villa in paygo Parisiacense urbis" and his burial "in basilica beati Dionisii martyris"[384]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XIV Kal Feb" of "Dagoberti regis Francorum, ecclesie Beati Dyonisii incliti fundatoris"[385]. Fredegar records his death from dysentery in the 16th year of his reign and his burial place[386]. m firstly (Clichy or Reuilly 626, repudiated [629/30]) GOMATRUDIS, sister of Queen SICHILDIS[387], daughter of ---. Fredegar records the marriage in Clichy of "germanam Sichieldæ regini nomen Gometrudæ" in the 42nd year of the reign of King Clotaire II, in a later passage reording that they marriage took place in Reuilly[388]. The Gesta Dagoberti records the marriage of King Dagobert to "germanam Sichildis reginæ Gomatrudem" in the 42nd year of the reign of his father[389]. According to Fredegar, her husband left her at Reuilly where he had married her[390]. The Gesta Dagoberti records that King Dagobert left Gomatrudis at "Romiliaco villa" because she was sterile[391]. m secondly ([629/30]) NANTECHILDIS, sister of LANDEGISEL, landowner in Limousin, daughter of --- (-[645]). According to Fredegar, Nantechildis was "a maiden of the bed-chamber" whom the king made queen[392]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "regina sua [=Dagoberti rex] Nanthilde de genere Saxonorum"[393]. The Gesta Dagoberti records the death of "germanus Nanthildis regina…Landegiselus" and his burial at Saint-Denis[394]. According to Fredegar, the king on his deathbed commended "his Queen Nantechildis and Clovis his son" to Aega[395]. She acted as regent for her son jointly with maior domus Aega[396]. After the death of the latter, Queen Nantechildis retained control. "Chlodovius rex Francorum" names "genitoris nostri Dagobercthi regis…genetrix nostra domna Nantechilda", the latter also subscribing the document, in his donation of property to the abbey of St Denis dated to [645][397]. Fredegar records that she appointed Flaochad as maior domus in Burgundy, and died later the same year[398]. [m] thirdly (polygamously) WULFEGUNDIS, daughter of ---. "Vulfefundis" is named as one of the three queens of King Dagobert by Fredegar who says the king "surrendered himself to limitless debauchery, having three queens and mistresses beyond number"[399]. This implies that the king's third and fourth marriages were polygamous, which is apparently confirmed by Queen Nantechildis still being queen when Dagobert died[400]. m fourthly (polygamously) BERTECHILDIS, daughter of ---. "Berchildis" is named as one of the three queens of King Dagobert by Fredegar[401]. Mistress (1): (630) RAGINTRUDIS, daughter of ---. Fredegar records the marriage of King Dagobert in the eighth year of his reign to "puella nomen Ragnetrudæ" and the birth of "filium…Sigybertum" in the same year[402]. King Dagobert I had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1): 1. SIGEBERT ([9 Oct 630/19 Jan 631]-1 Feb 656, bur Metz, basilique de Saint-Martin) King Sigebert III & his wife (NANTHILDE) had [two] children: a) DAGOBERT ([652/56]-murdered Woëvre forest 23 Dec 679, bur Stenay, basilique Saint-Rémi). b) [BILICHILDIS (-murdered forest of Lognes, near Chelles [18 Oct/10 Nov] 675, bur Paris, Saint-Germain-des-Prés). King Dagobert I & his second wife, Nantchild, had [four] children: 2. CHLODOVECH [Clovis] (633-[Oct/Nov] 657). The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Sighiberto et Chlodovecho" as the two sons of "Dagobertus rex…ex regina sua Nanthilde"[420]. He succeeded his father in [638/39] as CLOVIS II King of the Franks in Neustria, under the regency of his mother and maior domus Aega. 3. REGINTRUDIS 4. IRMINA 5. ADELA
