When Chlotar died in 629, Dagobert became sole King of the Franks, and he moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobert left the council of Pepin for a more flexible Neustrian Mayor of the Palace. In 632, he was forc ed to put his three-year old son Sigebert on the throne of Austrasia as the nob les were in revolt, however Pepin was not made his Mayor of the Palace. The Neu strian 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 y ears old and could be easily manipulated by the nobles. When Dagobert died in 6 39, the nobles of the kingdoms controlled both his sons, now puppet kings.
