Son of Clovis I, King of the Franks, he inherited Soissons on his death in 5 11. He, with his four brothers, attacked and defeated Burgundy under the kings Sigisbert and Godomar early in his reign.

Next, with his brother Childebert I, King of Paris, Chlotar murdered his nephews who were under the care of Queen Cl otilda his mother. When Theuderic died, the kingdom was up for grabs. Chlotar a nd Childebert each received only a small part, the most of it going to Theudebe rt, his son. In 555, Theudebald, who had succeeded his father Theudebert in Aus trasia, died, and Austrasia passed to Chlotar. When Childebert died in 558, Par is fell to Chlotar as well, thus making him sole ruler of the Franks. When Chlo tar died in 561, the kingdom was divided among his 4 living sons: Charibert (Pa ris), Guntram (Burgundy), Chilperic (Soissons), and Sigebert (Metz).
