King of Austrasia 623-632
King of the Franks 629-639
In 623, Dagobert's father, Chlotar II, King of the Franks, made him kingof Austrasia to please the leading Austrasian nobles: Mayor of the PalacePepin I and Saint Arnulf, Bishop of Metz.
When Chlotar died in 629, Dagobert became sole King of the Franks, and hemoved his capital from Austrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobert left thecouncil 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 throneof Austrasia as the nobles were in revolt, however Pepin was not made hisMayor of the Palace.
The Neustrian nobles then wished to unite with Burgundy, and so theyurged 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 thenobles. When Dagobert died in 639, the nobles of the kingdoms controlledboth his sons, now puppet kings.
