ohme p 67 (continued from father Clovis) "The dying words of CLOTHAR I, by 561 the last surviving son of Clovis, were quite understandable:  'Wa! What kind of king is it in heaven, who kills off kings as great as me?'
ema p 308 "As Frankish custom mandated, on Clovis's death his enormous kingdom, which stretched from present-day Germany and Belgium to the Pyrenees, was divided among his four sons.  . . . Warfare among Clovis's sons disrupted the decades after his death, although the Franks succeeded in conquering Burgundy by 534 and in aquiring Provence by 536.  Union of the Frankish kingdoms of Neustria, Austrasia and Burgundy occurred only when a single heir survived, which happened in the case of Clovis's son CLOTHAR I (between 558 and 561), Clothar's grandson and namesake CHLOTHAR II (between 623 and 629) and Clothar II's son DAGOBERT (between 629 and 638 or 639)."[JamesLinage.GED]
