King of Austrasia 674-678
When Sigebert III of Austrasia died in 656, the strong Mayor of the Palace, Grimoald, siezed power for himself. He sent away the 8-year old Dagobert II, son of Sigebert III, to be a monk in Ireland, and put his son Childebert on the throne. The next year, Grimoald was killed by King Clovis II of Neustria and Burgundy, but Dagobert was not recalled. Finally, in 674, the Austrasian Mayor of the Palace, Ebroin, recalled him. Ebroin enjoyed using the young Merovingian kings as puppets through which he could rule himself, and this is what he sought to do with Dagobert. However, Dagobert, being an educated man of 26 years, began ruling for himself, and so four years later was killed by Ebroin.
