In 623 his father established him as king of the region east of the Ardennes, and in 626 revived for him the ancient kingdom of Austrasia, minus Aquitaine and Provence. As Dagobert was but yet a child, he was placed under the authority of the mayor of the palace, Pepin, and Arnulf, bishop of Metz. At the death of Clotaire II in 628, Dagobert wished to re-establish unity in the Frankish realm, and in 629 and 630 make expeditions into Neustria and Burgundy, where he succeeded on the whole in securing the recognition of his authority. In Aquitaine he gave his brother Caribert the administration of the counties of Toulouse, Cahors, Agen, Pérogeux and Saintes; but at Caribert's death in 632 Dagobert became sole ruler of the whole of the Frankish territories south of the Loire. Under him the Merovingian monarchy attained its culminating point. He restored to the royal domain the lands that had beenusurped by the great nobles and by the church; he maintained at Parisa luxurious, though, from the example he himself set, a disorderly court; he was a patron of the arts and delighted in the exquisite craftsmanship of his treasurer, the goldsmith, St. Eloi.

He entered into relations with the eastern empire, and swore a "perpetual peace" with the emperor Heraclius; and it is probable that the two sovereigns took commonmeasures against the Slav and Burgundian tribes which ravaged in turnthe Byzantine state and the German territories subject to the Franks.Dagobert protected the church and placed illustrious prelates at the head of the bishoprics---Eloi (Eligius) at Noyon, Ouen (Audoenus) at Rouen and Didier (Desiderius) at Cahors.

After his death the Frankish monarchy was again divided. In 634 he had been obliged to give the Austrasians a special king in the person of his eldest son Sigebert, and at the birth of a secondson, Colvis, in 635, the Neustrians had immediately claimed him as king.

Funerary monument at St. Denis cathedral was carved in 13th century, and represents the legend of John the Hermit, who dreamed that the soul of Dagobert was stolen away by demons and finally snatched from their clutches by the intercession of Sts. Denis, Maurice and Martin. The statues of Nanthild, his wife and Clovis II, his son, are 19th c. reproductions.

He was the last of the Mervoingian dynasty to rule a realm united in more
than name only. He moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris, a central
location from which the kingdom could be governed more efficiently. Famed for
his love of justice, he was nevertheless greedy and dissolute. The prosperity
of his reign, and the revival of the arts during this period, can be judged
by the rich contents of the tombs of the period and from the goldsmith's work
at churches. He encouraged learning & founded Saint-Denis abbey.

Merovingian Dynasty Kings of All the Franks
Kings of Neustria
Dagobert I (c. 603 - January 19, 639) was the king of the Franks from 629 to 639.

The son of King Clotaire II, Dagobert became king of Austrasia and on the death of his father, the sole king of the Franks. By 632 he had Bourgogne and Aquitaine under his rule, becoming the most powerful of the Merovingian kings and the most respected ruler in the West. He married five times.

As king, Dagobert I made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss Castle in Meersburg, Germany which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica at the site of a Benedictine Monastery in Paris.

Dagobert was the last of the Merovingian kings to wield any real royal power. In 632 the nobles of Austrasia revolted under Mayor of the Palace Pepin I, and Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son Sigebert III on the Austrasian throne, thereby ceding royal power in all but name. When Dagobert died in 639, another son, Clovis II, inherited the rest of his kingdom at age five.

This pattern continued for the next century until Pippin III finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families (the Old Noblesse) who exercised feudal control over most of the land.

Dagobert was the first of the French kings to be buried in the Royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.

King Dagobert was immortalized by the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The good king Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, St. Eligius (Eloi in the French text). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions, from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.

He was the last of the Mervoingian dynasty to rule a realm united in more
than name only. He moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris, a central
location from which the kingdom could be governed more efficiently. Famed for
his love of justice, he was nevertheless greedy and dissolute. The prosperity
of his reign, and the revival of the arts during this period, can be judged
by the rich contents of the tombs of the period and from the goldsmith's work
at churches. He encouraged learning & founded Saint-Denis abbey.

Dagobert 1 was the King of Austrasis (623-634), King of all the Franks (629-634) and King of Neustria & Burgundy (629-639). He was the lst Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power.

Dagobert was the esldest son of Clotaire II and Berthetrude. Clotaire II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613, and Dagobert became the king of austrasia when her independent nobles demanded a king of their own. In 623, Clotaire installed his son Dagobert in Austrasia.

On the death of his father in 629 dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Chairbert, son of sichilde, clamied Neustria and Dagobert opposed him, Brodulk, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobet assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.

Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobet's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingain king in many years and the most respected ruler in the west.

[Wikipedia, "Dagobert I", retrieved 4 Oct 07]
Dagobert I (c. 603 ? 19 January 639) was the king of Austrasia (623?634), king of all the Franks (629?634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629?639). He was the last Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power. Dagobert was the first of the French kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.

Rule in Austrasia
Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575-604). Chlothar II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 623, Chlothar was forced to make Dagobert king of Austrasia by the nobility of that region, who wanted a king of their own.

When Chlothar II granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but was shortly after forced to concede it to Dagobert by the Austrasian nobility. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. It comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin the first duke of a polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty.

United rule
On the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.

Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.

In 631, Dagobert led three armies against Samo, the Slavic king, but his Austrasian forces were defeated at Wogastisburg.

Rule in Neustria, from Paris
Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier.

As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.

Legacy
The pattern of division and assassination which characterise even the strong king Dagobert's reign continued for the next century until Pepin the Short finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families (the Old Noblesse) who exercised feudal control over most of the land.

Dagobert was immortalized in the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.

In 1984 a 112 minutes long french-Italian comedy, Le bon roi Dagobert - The good king Dagobert- was made based on I. Dagobert. The movie is surprisingly realistic in showing the realities of early barbarian France. The soundtrack was composed by Guido and Mauricio De Angelis.

Marriage and issue
Dagobert appears to have been married more then once:

He married Nanthild and they had the following:

Sigebert III
Clovis II, who inherited the rest of his kingdom at a young age when his father died.
He also married Regintrude and they had the following:

Regintrud who married into the Bavarian Agilolfings, either Theodo, Duke of Bavaria or his son Duke in Salzburg.

REIGNED: King of Austrasia, King of France
AKA: Greatest of Merovingian Kings

MARRIAGE: Had 3 other wives; !. Gometrude, 3. Wulfegunde, 4. Berthilde

Dagobert I (c.603–January 19, 639) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power.

Rise to power
Dagobert was the eldest son of Clotaire II and Berthetrude, or possibly Haldetrude. Clotaire II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613, and Dagobert became the king of Austrasia when her independent nobles demanded a king of their own. In 623, Clotaire installed his son Dagobert in Austrasia.

Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.
Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.

Le bon roi Dagobert
Dagobert was immortalized in the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.

DAGOBERT I [Dagobert I] , c.612-c.639, Frankish king, son and successor of King Clotaire II. His father was forced to appoint Dagobert king of the East Frankish kingdom of Austrasia at the request of Pepin of Landen , mayor of the palace, and Arnulf, bishop of Metz, who effectively ruled in Austrasia. After Clotaire's death (629) Dagobert reunited Aquitaine with Austrasia and Neustria and became king of all the Franks. He was, however, forced by popular demand to give (634) Austrasia its own king in the person of his son, Sigebert III. The last of the Merovingians to exercise personal rule, he made himself independent of the great nobles, especially of Pepin of Landen. He extended his rule over the Basques and the Bretons. Dagobert's reign was prosperous; he was a patron of learning and the arts. He founded the first great abbey of Saint-Denis, where he is buried.

Encyclopedia Britannica on-line
Dagobert I (b. 605--d. Jan. 19, 639, Saint-Denis, France), the last Frankish king of the Merovingian dynasty to rule a realm united in more than name only.

The son of Chlotar II, Dagobert became king of Austrasia in 623 and of the entire Frankish realm in 629. Dagobert secured his realm by making a friendship treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, defeating the Gascons and Bretons, and campaigning against the Slavs on his eastern frontier. In 631 he sent an army to Spain to help the Visigothic usurper Swinthila (Svintila). He moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris, a central location from which the kingdom could be governed more effectively. He then appeased the Austrasians by making his three-year-old son Sigebert their king in 634. Famed for his love of justice, Dagobert was nevertheless greedy and dissolute. He was succeeded by Sigebert III and another son, Clovis II.

The prosperity of Dagobert's reign, and the revival of the arts during this period, can be judged from the rich contents of the tombs of the period and from the goldsmiths' work for the churches. Dagobert revised Frankish law, encouraged learning, patronized the arts, and founded the first great abbey of Saint-Denis, to which he made many gifts.

Name: Dagobert I King Of Austrasia 1 2
Sex: M
Birth: ABT 602 in Neustria, France
Death: ABT 638 in Neustria, France
Reference Number: 2818
Note: Dagobert I (died 639), king of the Franks, was the son of Clotaire II. In 623 his father established him as king of the region east of the Ardennes, and in 626 revived for him the ancient kingdom of Austrasia, minus Aquitaine and Provence. As Dagobert was but yet a child, he was placed under the authority of the mayor of the palace, Pepin, and Arnulf, bishop of Metz. At the death of Clotaire II in 628, Dagobert wished to re-establish unity in the Frankish realm, and in 629 and 630 make expeditions into Neustria and Burgundy, where he succeeded on the whole in securing the recognition of his authority. In Aquitaine he gave his brother Caribert the administration of the counties of Toulouse, Cahors, Agen, Pérogeux and Saintes; but at Caribert's death in 632 Dagobert became sole ruler of the whole of the Frankish territories south of the Loire. Under him the Merovingian monarchy attained its culminating point. He restored to the royal domain the lands that had been usurped by the great nobles and by the church; he maintained at Paris a luxurious, though, from the example he himself set, a disorderly court; he was a patron of the arts and delighted in the exquisite craftsmanship of his treasurer, the goldsmith, St. Eloi. His authority was recognized through the length and breadth of the realm. The duke of the Basques came to his court to swear fidelity, and at his villa at Clichy the chief of the Bretons of Domnoné promised obedience. He intervened in the affairs of the Visigoths of Spain and the Lombards of Italy, and was heard with deference. Indeed, as a sovereign, Dagobert was reckoned superior to the other barbarian kings. He entered into relations with the eastern empire, and swore a "perpetual peace" with the emperor Heraclius; and it is probable that the two sovereigns took common measures against the Slav and Burgundian tribes which ravaged in turn the Byzantine state and the German territories subject to the Franks. Dagobert protected the church and placed illustrious prelates at the head of the bishoprics---Eloi (Eligius) at Noyon, Ouen (Audoenus) at Rouen and Didier (Desiderius) at Cahors. His reign is also marked by the creation of numerous monasteries and by renewed missionary activity in Flanders and among the Basques. He died on Jan 9, 639, as was buried at St. Denis. After his death the Frankish monarchy was again divided. In 634 he had been obliged to give the Austrasians a special king in the person of his eldest son Sigebert, and at the birth of a second son, Colvis, in 635, the Neustrians had immediately claimed him as king. Thus the unification of the realm, which Dagobert had re-established with so much pains, was anulled. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 6, pp. 971-972, Dagobert I].

Became King of Austrasia in 623 and King of the Franks in 629. At the age of about 25 years, Dagobert, son of Clotaire II and of Bertrade, takes over the succession without difficulty. He must first determine the fate of his half-brother Charibert (son of Queen Sichilde), for whom his uncle Brodulf wanted to yield at least Neustria. Dagobert does not comply, but he sends him to Aquitaine by yielding to him the cities of Saintes, Perigeux, Toulouse, Cahors, Agen and the countryside between Garonne and the Pyrenees whose residents had taken advantage of the troubles in the kingdom to ally themselves with the Basques. Dagobert wins Dijon and also Saint-Jean-de-Losne where he lives for a few days and meets out justice. The day of his departure from Losne to Chalon, as he bathes before sunrise, he has Brodulf, uncle of his half-brother Charibert, assassinated, the murder being executed by two of Dagobert's sons and the patrician Guillebaud. In 630, he negotiates a Treaty with the Emperor of Byzantium, Heraclius, a perpetual peace through the intermediary of his envoys, Servais and Paterne. Upon his return to Paris, Dagobert repudiates his wife Gomatrude, sister of Queen Sichilde, herself married to the deceased Clotaire II, Dagobert's father. He immediately, in 631, marries Nanthilde, a simple housekeeper. The reign of Nantilde lasts only a few years. Dagobert surrounds himself with other women, Vulfegonde, then Berthilde, finally Ragintrude, an Austrasian, whom he took as concubine in the eighth year of his reign. He was skillfully taught and supported by his ministers, Saint Eloi [who was Dagobert's treasurer and then became Bishop after Dagobert died] and Dadon [alias Saint Ouen, who became Bishop of Rouen in 641 and who was instrumental in the founding of several monasteries. He fought the Austrasians and gave them his son, Sigebert, as next king at age 3 [in fact the Bishop of Cologne and a Duke will govern in his name] . With the Austrasian armies and the support of the Saxons and the Lombards, Dagobert overwhelms the Wendes [Slavic resident of the area between the Oder, the Elbe and the superior branch of the Danube] at Wogalisbourg (in Styria, near Gratz) in 632]. He fought the Gascons, the Slavs and the Saxons. He was the last direct Merovingien King, he was able to delay the dissolution of the Frankish Empire. In December of 638, Dagobert is stricken with an intestinal disease in his domaine of
Epinay-sur-Seine, and trusts his Mayor of Neustria, Aega, the fate of his wife Nanthilde as well as that of his son Clovis II. On 19 January 639, Dagobert has himself transported to Saint-Denis, where he dies in one of the buildings adjoing the Basilica. He is the first Monarch of France to have chosen Saint-Denis as the final resting place. It is there that Saint Denis was martyred in the third century, along with his companions Saint Rustique and Saint Eleuthere. In the fifth century, the Gallo-Roman cemetery was levelled and the basilica built. Married before 626: Gomatrude; Gomatrude was the first of five wives. Married before 629: Ragnetrud d'Austrasie; Ragnetrud was the third of Dagobert I's five wives. Married before 634: Nantechild. Died: in 639.

Duc de Toulouse 623-629 ou 630, avant Charibert qui porte le titre de roi de Toulouse en 629 ou 630 / LM

En 623 son père le nomme roi d'Austrasie (France de l'Est) afin de contrer le Maire du Palais Pépin de Landin et Arnoul évêque de Metz.

Il s'empare de la Bourgogne et de la Neustrie (France du Nord). Mais il faut qu'il partage une partie de son royaume avec son frère cadet Caribert à qui il doit céder l'Aquitaine.

Il faut savoir que chez les Mérovingiens, le sport national est l'assassinat. Ils ont très souvent recours au crime pour réunifier leur royaume.

Par un curieux hasard Caribert meurt assassiné en 631 et Dagobert 1er s'empresse d'annexer les terres de son frère.

Il en profite pour soumettre les Gascons révoltés et va jusqu'à imposer sa suzeraineté à Judicaël, prince de Domnonée (Bretagne).

Dagobert est le maître du royaume, mais il sait que seul il ne peut gouverner. Il s'entoure de conseillers, des aristocrates à qui il inculque l'art de gouverner. Ces personnes exercent quelques temps une charge au palais, puis elles sont renvoyées dans leur région pourvues d'une charge épiscopale. Son ministre Eloi par exemple exercera une charge d'officier de chancellerie avant de devenir évêque de Noyons.

Sans être un homme pieux, Dagobert s'appuie pleinement sur le clergé pour gouverner comme son ancêtre Clovis, il a parfaitement compris que les moines et les prêtres représentent la seule force cohérente du Royaume, en dehors des armes. De plus, ce vue siècle commençant est une époque de foi profonde qui voit la fondation de multiples abbayes et de plus modestes églises. Le peuple est particulièrement attaché à la religion; le meilleur moyen de le conserver, dans le devoir d'obéissance au roi, est encore de lui montrer un pouvoir temporel allié du spirituel.

Dagobert n'est pas seulement un coureur de jupons, c'est aussi un mécène, protecteur des arts, amoureux du beau; c'est lui qui, sur les conseils d'Eloi, et pour ne pas être en reste devant la magnificence des leudes, qui dotaient richement des communautés monastiques, décide de combler de dons la basilique de Saint-Denis, et ce à un point tel qu'il sera, par la suite, considéré à tort comme le fondateur de l'abbaye; il s'y fit d'ailleurs inhumer.

Pendant les dix années de son règne, Dagobert va jouir d'un pouvoir absolu, et la postérité en a gardé le souvenir, embelli par la comparaison avec ses médiocres successeurs. Il fait reconnaître son autorité par les Saxons, les Gascons et les Bretons, intervient dans les affaires intérieures du royaume wisigothique d'Espagne, entretient de bonnes relations avec Byzance et tente de s'opposer, avec les Saxons, les Thuringiens, les Alamans et les Lombards, à la poussée de la nouvelle puissance slave.

Malheureusement, les choses vont se gâter dès 632, des héritiers non directs de Chilpéric, sans doute des bâtards, qui s'étaient enfuis à l'approche des troupes du roi, ont fait alliance avec les Gascons, ou Vascons, peuples farouches qui contrôlent tout le pays au sud de la Garonne; à la tête de redoutables guerriers, ils reprennent, en une sanglante campagne, la presque totalité du royaume d' Aquitaine, ne laissant à Dagobert qu'une marche de sûreté au sud de la Loire.

Le prestige personnel de Dagobert, qui lui assura la soumission absolue de son royaume, fut tel, hors de ce royaume, qu'aucun roi des Francs ne l'égala plus avant l'avènement de Pépin le Bref.

Dagobert I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dagobert I (c. 603 – 19 January 639) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power. Dagobert was the first of the French kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.

Rule in Austrasia

Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604). Chlothar II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 623, Chlothar was forced to make Dagobert king of Austrasia by the nobility of that region, who wanted a king of their own.

When Chlothar II granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to Dagobert. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty.

United rule

On the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.

Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.

In 631, Dagobert led three armies against Samo, the rulers of the Slavs, but his Austrasian forces were defeated at Wogastisburg.

Rule in Neustria, from Paris

Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier.

As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica, at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.

Dagobert died in the abbey of Saint-Denis and was the first French king to be buried in the Saint Denis Basilica, Paris.

Legacy

The pattern of division and assassination which characterise even the strong king Dagobert's reign continued for the next century until Pepin the Short finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families who exercised feudal control over most of the land.

Dagobert was immortalized in the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.

In 1984, a 112-minute long French-Italian comedy, Le bon roi Dagobert (Good King Dagobert) was made, based on Dagobert I. The movie is surprisingly realistic in showing the realities of early barbarian France. The soundtrack was composed by Guido and Mauricio De Angelis.

Marriage and issue

Dagobert was a serial monogamist.

He married Nanthild and they had the following:

* Clovis II, who inherited the rest of his kingdom at a young age when his father died.

Dagobert I, king of the Franks, was the son of Clotaire II. In 623 his father established him as king of the region east of the Ardennes, and in 626 revived for him the ancient kingdom of Austrasia, minus Aquitaine and Provence. As Dagobert was yet but a child, he was placed under the authority of the mayor of the palace, Pippin, and Arnulf, bishop of Metz. At the death of Clotaire II in 629, Dagobert wished to reestablish unity in the Frankish realm, and in 629 and 630 made expeditions into Neustria and Burgundy, where he succeeded in securing the recognition of his authority. In Aquitaine he gave his brother Charibert the administration of the counties of Toulouse, Cahors, Agen, Périgueux, and Saintes; but at Charibert's death in 632 Dagobert became sole ruler of the whole of the Frankish territories south of the Loire. Under him the Merovingian monarchy attained its culminating point. He restored to the royal domain the lands that had been usurped by the great nobles and by the church; he maintained at Paris a luxurious, though, from the example he himself set, a disorderly court; he was a patron of the arts, and delighted in the exquisite craftsmanship of his treasurer, the goldsmith St. Eloi. His authority was recognized through the length and breadth of the realm. The duke of the Basques came to his court to swear fidelity, and at his villa at Clichy the chief of the Bretons of Domnoné promised obedience. He intervened in the affairs of the Visigoths of Spain and the Lombards of Italy, and was heard with deference. Indeed, as a sovereign, Dagobert was reckoned superior to the other barbarian kings. He entered into relations with the eastern empire, and swore a "perpetual peace" with the emperor Heraclius; and it is probable that the two sovereigns took common measures against the Slav and Bulgarian tribes, which ravaged in turn the Byzantine state and the German territories subject to the Franks. Dagobert protected the church and placed illustrious prelates at the head of the bishoprics -- Eloi (Eligius) at Noyon, Ouen (Audoenus) at Rouen, and Didier (Desiderius) at Cahors. His reign is also marked by the creation of numerous monasteries and by renewed missionary activity, in Flanders and among the Basques. He died on the 19th of January 639, and was buried at St. Denis. After his death the Frankish monarchy was again divided. In 634 he had been obliged to give the Austrasians a special king in the person of his eldest son Sigebert, and at the birth of a second son, Clovis, in 635, the Neustrians had immediately claimed him as king. Thus the unification of the realm, which Dagobert had reestablished with so much pains, was annulled.

Rei da Austrasie (623-634) e Rei de Burgondie (629-639), Neustrie (629-639) e depois dos Francs (629-639)

Dagoberto era o filho mais velho de Clotário II e Berthetrude (ou possivelmente Haldetrude). Clotário reinou sozinho sobre todos os francos desde 613, e Dagoberto se tornou rei da Austrásia quando seus nobres independentes exigiram um rei próprio. Em 623, Clotário instalou seu filho Dagoberto na Austrásia.Com a morte de seu pai em 629, Dagoberto herdou os reinos da Nêustria e da Borgonha. Seu meio irmão Cariberto, filho de Sichilde, reinvidicou a Nêustria mas Dagoberto se opôs a ele. Brodulf, irmão de Sichilde, suplicou a Dagoberto em nome de seu jovem sobrinho, mas Dagoberto o assassinou e cedeu a seu jovem irmão a Aquitânia.Cariberto morreu em 632, e seu filho Chilperico foi assassinado por ordem de Dagoberto. Em 632, Dagoberto tinha a Aquitânia e a Borgonha firmemente sob seu domínio, tornando-se o mais poderoso rei merovíngio em muitos anos e o mais respeitado governante do Ocidente.Também em 632, os nobres da Austrásia se revoltaram sob a liderança do prefeito do palácio, Pepino de Landen. Em 634, Dagoberto aplacou os nobres rebeldes colocando seu filho de apenas três anos de idade, Sigeberto III, no trono, e através disso cedendo o poder real no mais oriental dos seus reinos, justamente como seu pai tinha feito com ele onze anos antes.Como rei, Dagoberto fez de Paris sua capital. Durante seu reino, ele construiu Altes Schloss (Castelo Antigo) em Meersburg (na atual Alemanha), que atualmente é o mais antigo castelo habitado desse país. Religioso devoto, Dagoberto também foi responsável pela construção da Basílica de Saint-Denis no lugar de um monastério beneditino em Paris.Em 631, Dagoberto liderou três exércitos contra Samo, rei eslavo, mas suas forças austrasianas foram derrotadas em Wogatisburg.Dagoberto morreu em 639, e foi o primeiro dos reis franceses a ser sepultado nas tumbas reais de Saint-Denis. Seu segundo filho, Clóvis II, de seu casamento com Nantilde, herdou o resto de seu reino muito jovem.O padrão de divisão e assassinato que caracterizou até mesmo o poderoso reinado de Dagoberto continuou no século seguinte até Pepino o Breve finalmente depor o último rei merovíngio em 751, estabelecendo a dinastia carolíngia. Os reis-meninos merovíngios permaneceram governantes fantoches que herdavam o trono ainda crianças e viviam apenas o bastante para gerar um herdeiro masculino ou dois, enquanto o poder real ficava nas mãos das famílias nobres (a velha nobreza) que exercia controle feudal sobre a maior parte das terras.

Dagoberto foi imortalizado na canção Le bon roi Dagobert (O bom rei Dagoberto), uma música infantil retratando as trocas entre o rei e seu principal conselheiro, Santo Elígio (Saint Eloi em francês). As rimas satíricas colocam Dagoberto em várias posições ridículas das quais os bons conselhos de Elígio conseguem retirá-lo. O texto, que provavelmente se originou no século XVIII, tornou-se extremamente popular como uma expressão do sentimento anti-monarquista da Revolução Francesa. Exceto por colocar Dagoberto e Elísio em suas respectivas funções, a canção não tem nenhuma precisão histórica.

I am not fully satisfied that this connection exists through his daughter named Regintrud, although he would be neat to have in a family background. As such, this is a weak connection (at least through his daughter).

From the Wikipedia page on Dagobert I:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagobert_I

Dagobert I (c. 603 – 19 January 639) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power. Dagobert was the first of the Frankish kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.

In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him 11 years earlier.

As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica, at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.

Dagobert died in the abbey of Saint-Denis and was the first Frankish king to be buried in the Saint Denis Basilica, Paris.

Legacy

The pattern of division and assassination which characterise even the strong king Dagobert's reign continued for the next century until Pepin the Short finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families who exercised feudal control over most of the land.

Dagobert was immortalized in the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.

In 1984, a 112-minute long French-Italian comedy, Le bon roi Dagobert (Good King Dagobert) was made, based on Dagobert I. The movie is surprisingly realistic in showing the realities of early barbarian France. The soundtrack was composed by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis.

Marriage and issue

Dagobert was a serial monogamist. He married Nanthild and they had the following:

1. Clovis II, who inherited the rest of his kingdom at a young age when his father died.

2. Regintrud who married into the Bavarian Agilolfings, either Theodo, Duke of Bavaria or his son Duke in Salzburg.

He also had a mistress named Ragintrudis (Ragnetrude) and they had the following:

1. Sigebert III

His other wives were:

Wulfefundis (Wulfegunde)

Bertechildis (Berthilde)

Gomentrude

--------------------

Frankish king, son and successor of King Clotaire II. His father was forced to appoint Dagobert king of the East Frankish kingdom of Austrasia at the request of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace, and Arnulf, bishop of Metz, who effectively ruled in Austrasia. After Clotaire's death (629) Dagobert reunited Aquitaine with Austrasia and Neustria and became king of all the Franks. He was, however, forced by popular demand to give (634) Austrasia its own king in the person of his son, Sigebert III. The last of the Merovingians to exercise personal rule, he made himself independent of the great nobles, especially of Pepin of Landen. He extended his rule over the Basques and the Bretons. Dagobert's reign was prosperous; he was a patron of learning and the arts. He founded the first great abbey of Saint-Denis, where he is buried.

Dagobert I (died 639), king of the Franks (629-639). He became king of Austrasia in 623, and by 632 he had also brought Bourgogne and Aquitaine under his rule, becoming the most powerful of the Merovingian kings. He made Paris his capital. Dagobert built numerous monasteries and strengthened the royal power.

Den sista frankiska kungen av den merovingiska dynastin att pröva ett rike förenas i mer än namnet. Son till Chlotar II blev Dagobert kung över Austrasien i 623 och hela frankiska riket i 629. Dagobert säkrade sitt rike genom att göra en vänskap fördrag med den bysantinske kejsaren Herakleios och besegrade Gascons och Bretagne, och kampanjer mot slaverna på sin östra gräns. I 631 han skickade en armé till Spanien för att hjälpa visigotisk usurpatorn Swinthila (Svintila). Han flyttade sin huvudstad från Austrasien till Paris, en central plats från vilken riket skulle styras mer effektivt. Han blidkade sedan Austrasians genom att göra sin tre-årige son Sigibert deras kung i 634. Berömd för sin kärlek för rättvisa, var Dagobert ändå girig och utsvävande. Han efterträddes av Sigibert III och en annan son Klodvig II. Välstånd Dagobert regeringstid, och ett återupplivande av konst under denna period, kan bedömas från de rika innehållet i gravarna av perioden och från Guld-arbete för kyrkorna. Dagobert reviderade frankiska rätt, uppmuntras att lära, nedlåtande konst, och grundade den första stora klostret i Saint-Denis, som han gjort många gåvor.

Dagobert I (c. 603 – 19 January 639) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power. Dagobert was the first of the Frankish kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.

Rule in Austrasia

Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604). Chlothar II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 623, Chlothar was forced to make Dagobert king of Austrasia by the nobility of that region, who wanted a king of their own.

When Chlothar II granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to Dagobert. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty.

United rule

On the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.

Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.

In 631, Dagobert led three armies against Samo, the rulers of the Slavs, but his Austrasian forces were defeated at Wogastisburg.

Rule in Neustria, from Paris

Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier.

As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica, at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.

Dagobert died in the abbey of Sain

[editar] Ascensão ao poder

Medalhão retrato de Dagoberto I, por Jean Dassier (1676–1763)Dagoberto era o filho mais velho de Clotário II e Berthetrude (ou possivelmente Haldetrude). Clotário reinou sozinho sobre todos os francos desde 613, e Dagoberto se tornou rei da Austrásia quando seus nobres independentes exigiram um rei próprio. Em 623, Clotário instalou seu filho Dagoberto na Austrásia.

Com a morte de seu pai em 629, Dagoberto herdou os reinos da Nêustria e da Borgonha. Seu meio irmão Cariberto, filho de Sichilde, reivindicou a Nêustria mas Dagoberto opôs-se a ele. Brodulf, irmão de Sichilde, suplicou a Dagoberto em nome de seu jovem sobrinho, mas Dagoberto o assassinou e cedeu a seu jovem irmão a Aquitânia.

Cariberto morreu em 632, e seu filho Chilperico foi assassinado por ordem de Dagoberto. Em 632, Dagoberto tinha a Aquitânia e a Borgonha firmemente sob seu domínio, tornando-se o mais poderoso rei merovíngio em muitos anos e o mais respeitado governante do Ocidente.

[editar] Reinado

Também em 632, os nobres da Austrásia se revoltaram sob a liderança do prefeito do palácio, Pepino de Landen. Em 634, Dagoberto aplacou os nobres rebeldes colocando seu filho de apenas três anos de idade, Sigeberto III, no trono, e através disso cedendo o poder real no mais oriental dos seus reinos, justamente como seu pai tinha feito com ele onze anos antes.

Como rei, Dagoberto fez de Paris sua capital. Durante seu reino, ele construiu Altes Schloss (Castelo Antigo) em Meersburg (na atual Alemanha), que atualmente é o mais antigo castelo habitado desse país. Religioso devoto, Dagoberto também foi responsável pela construção da Basílica de Saint-Denis no lugar de um monastério beneditino em Paris.

Em 631, Dagoberto liderou três exércitos contra Samo, rei eslavo, mas suas forças austrasianas foram derrotadas em Wogatisburg.

[editar] Morte e legado

Dagoberto morreu em 639, e foi o primeiro dos reis franceses a ser sepultado nas tumbas reais de Saint-Denis. Seu segundo filho, Clóvis II, de seu casamento com Nantilde, herdou o resto de seu reino muito jovem.

O padrão de divisão e assassinato que caracterizou até mesmo o poderoso reinado de Dagoberto continuou no século seguinte até Pepino o Breve finalmente depor o último rei merovíngio em 751, estabelecendo a dinastia carolíngia. Os reis-meninos merovíngios permaneceram governantes fantoches que herdavam o trono ainda crianças e viviam apenas o bastante para gerar um herdeiro masculino ou dois, enquanto o poder real ficava nas mãos das famílias nobres (a velha nobreza) que exercia controle feudal sobre a maior parte das terras.

[editar] Le bon roi Dagobert

Dagoberto foi imortalizado na canção Le bon roi Dagobert (O bom rei Dagoberto), uma música infantil retratando as trocas entre o rei e seu principal conselheiro, Santo Elígio (Saint Eloi em francês). As rimas satíricas colocam Dagoberto em várias posições ridículas das quais os bons conselhos de Elígio conseguem retirá-lo. O texto, que provavelmente se originou no século XVIII, tornou-se extremamente popular como uma expressão do sentimento anti-monarquista da Revolução Francesa. Exceto por colocar Dagoberto e Elísio em suas respectivas funções, a canção não tem nenhuma precisão histórica.

Y the murder and robbery of his young kinsmen, Clotaire II. Became master of all three kingdoms, and therefore, like his namesake, sole king of France. He is noted in history not only for his cruelty t Brunhilda, but also because he was forced to make a new law, whereby the nobles were henceforthallowed to leave their lands and titles to their children. Before that, when a nobleman had died, his lands had always been given back to the king. At this time, also, there was chosen in each of te three kingdoms a chief officer, called Mayor of the Palace, to govern under the king.

While Clotaire was noted for his hardness of heart, his son Dag'obert is so famous for his good nature and jollity that no one in France ever mentions him except as "the good king Dagobert." At his father's death (628), he too found himself sole king of France, and during his reign he received, besides, tribute from many tribes in Germany. He made many wise laws, listened tot he complaints of the poor as patiently as to those of the rich, and dealt out justice to all alike.

[61] Many of Dagobert's wise deeds are said to have been due to the good advice given by his treasurer (Eloi), a man of such fine principles that he was called "saint" even during his lifetime. This treasurer was also a very clever goldsmith, and made for the king a golden throne, and a crown and scepter, long carefully preserved in the treasury of the Church of St. Denis, near Paris.

This church—a wonder of architecture—stands in the very spot where St. Denis is said to have been buried. The story runs that a poor little chapel, built over the saint's grave, had fallen into ruins and was quite forsaken. One day while pursuing a deer, Dagobert saw it plunge into a thicket, and soon found that it had taken refuge in this tumble-down place. The tender-hearted king not only spared the poor deer's life, but vowed to build a church and abbey there. For this reason he is considered the founder of the abbey of St. Denis, although very little of the building he erected there still exists.

[62] The church finished, we are told that Dagobert laid upon the altar a quaint banner of crimson and gold, cut in the shape of a flame, which is known as the "Or'iflamme." This was the sacred royal banner of France. For centuries no French king ever went to war without first visiting the church of St. Denis, where the abbot gave him this standard, which was kept on the altar in times of peace. The Oriflamme was always carried before the king in battle, and it waved from his tent camp, while the royal war cry of "Montjoie et St. Denis" (moN-zhwä' ā săN dē-nee')was heard in every fray where it was carried.

Dagobert felt such an interest in the church he had founded, that he begged to be buried in it. His tomb in the Church of St. Denis—which was several times reconstructed in later centuries—can still be seen, with quaint sculptures all around it, showing how saints and demons are said to have fought for the king's soul, which we are happy to say, was finally carried off in triumph to heaven. From the time of Dagobert's burial in this church (638) until the end of the eighteenth century, French monarchs were always laid to rest in this edifice, which contains so many beautiful and interesting tombs that thousands of strangers—as well as countless patriotic Frenchmen—go to visit it every year.

Dagobert is considered the best and wisest of all the Merovingian kings, and his memory is still kept green in France by an old nursery rhyme, which is familiar to children there as the Mother Goose ditties are to you. As most of his successors were weak, idle, and stupid, they are known as the Sluggard, or Do-nothing, Kings. They ate, drank, and were merry; rode about in royal style, [63] lolling lazily in great wagons drawn by slow-pacing oxen; and troubled themselves about nothing in the world save their own pleasure. As a rule they died very young, the result of too much eating and drinking, and not enough exercise; but none of them were ever missed.

These slothful kings were mere figureheads. The real power in the kingdom had fallen into the hands of their principal officers, the mayors of the palace, who ruled Neustria, Austrasia, and Burgundy about as they pleased. But as these mayors of the palace were often jealous of one another, and anxious to govern all France alone, their rivalry led to many bitter quarrels and even to open warfare.

Finally a famous Austrasian mayor of the palace, named Pepin (of Héristal), defeated the Neustrians in a great battle (Testry 687), and thus became sole master of all northern France. It suited him, however, to keep puppet-kings on the throne, whom he crowned or deposed just as his fancy prompted.

For many years after this, mayors of the palace made and unmade kings, getting rid of those who were inconvenient by means of poison or of the dagger, or by cutting off their long hair and shutting them up in monasteries.

b. 605

d. Jan. 19, 639, Saint-Denis, France

the last Frankish king of the Merovingian dynasty to rule a realm unitedin more than name only.

The son of Chlotar II, Dagobert became king of Austrasia in 623 and ofthe entire Frankish realm in 629. Dagobert secured his realm by making afriendship treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, defeating theGascons and Bretons, and campaigning against the Slavs on his easternfrontier. In 631 he sent an army to Spain to help the Visigothic usurperSwinthila (Svintila). He moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris, acentral location from which the kingdom could be governed moreeffectively. He then appeased the Austrasians by making histhree-year-old son Sigebert their king in 634. Famed for his love ofjustice, Dagobert was nevertheless greedy and dissolute. He was succeededby Sigebert III and another son, Clovis II.

The prosperity of Dagobert's reign, and the revival of the arts duringthis period, can be judged from the rich contents of the tombs of theperiod and from the goldsmiths' work for the churches.

BIOGRAPHY: In 623, Dagobert's father, Chlotar II, King of the Franks, made him king of Austrasia to please the leading Austrasian nobles: Mayor of the Palace Pepin I and Saint Arnulf, Bishop of Metz. 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 forced to put his three-year old son Sigebert on the throne of Austrasia as the nobles were in revolt, however Pepin was not made his Mayor of the Palace. The Neustrian 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 years old and could be easily manipulated by the nobles. When Dagobert died in 639, the nobles of the kingdoms controlled both his sons, now puppet kings.

History: Dagobert I (died 639), king of the Franks (629-39), son of Clotaire II. He became king of Austrasia in 623 and at the death of his father the sole king of the Franks. By 632 he had also brought Burgundy and Aquitaine under his rule, becoming the most powerful of the Merovingian kings and the most respected sovereign in the West. He made Paris his capital. St. Éloi (588?-659) was Dagobert's principal adviser, and his rule was marked by the building of numerous monasteries and the strengthening of the royal power. At his death the Frankish kingdom was divided between his sons.

Dagobert I (c. 603 – 19 January 639) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He was the last Merovingian dynast to wield any real royal power. Dagobert was the first of the French kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica.

Rule in Austrasia

Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604). Chlothar II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 623, Chlothar was forced to make Dagobert king of Austrasia by the nobility of that region, who wanted a king of their own.

When Chlothar II granted Austrasia to Dagobert, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to Dagobert. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty.

United rule

"Throne of Dagobert", bronze. The base, formed by a curule chair, is traditionally attributed to Dagobert, while the arms and the back of the chair were added under Charles the Bald. This throne was last used by Napoleon I in 1804 when he created the Legion d'Honneur. Cabinet des Medailles.

On the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.

Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.

In 631, Dagobert led three armies against Samo, the rulers of the Slavs, but his Austrasian forces were defeated at Wogastisburg.

Rule in Neustria, from Paris

Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, Dagobert appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier.

As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica, at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.

Dagobert died in the abbey of Saint-Denis and was the first French king to be buried in the Saint Denis Basilica, Paris.

Legacy

Dagobert's tomb at Saint-Denis, remade in the thirteenth century

The pattern of division and assassination which characterise even the strong king Dagobert's reign continued for the next century until Pepin the Short finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families who exercised feudal control over most of the land.

Dagobert was immortalized in the song Le bon roi Dagobert (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place Dagobert in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing Dagobert and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy.

In 1984, a 112-minute long French-Italian comedy, Le bon roi Dagobert (Good King Dagobert) was made, based on Dagobert I. The movie is surprisingly realistic in showing the realities of early barbarian France. The soundtrack was composed by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis.

Marriage and issue

Dagobert was a serial monogamist.

He married Nanthild and they had the following:

* Clovis II, who inherited the rest of his kingdom at a young age when his father died.

* Regintrud who married into the Bavarian Agilolfings, either Theodo, Duke of Bavaria or his son Duke in Salzburg.

He also had a mistress named Ragintrudis (Ragnetrude) and they had the following:

* Sigebert III

His other wives were:

* Wulfefundis (Wulfegunde)

* Bertechildis (Berthilde)

* Gomentrude

At the age of about 25 years, Dagobert, son of Clotaire II and of Bertrade, takes over the succession without difficulty. He must first determine the fate of his half-brother Charibert (son of Queen Sichilde), for whom his uncle Brodulf wanted to yield at least Neustria. Dagobert does not cimply and purely eliminate his half-brother, but he sends him to Aquitaine by yielding to him the cities of Saintes, Perigeux, Toulouse, Cahors, Agen and the countryside between Garonne and the Pyrenees whose residents had taken advantage of the troubles in the kingdom to ally themselves with the Basques.

Upon his return to Paris, Dagobert repudiates his wife Gomatrude, sister of Queen Sichilde, herself married to the deceased Clotaire II, Dagobert's father. He immediately, in 631, marries Nanthilde, a simple housekeeper. The reign of Nantilde lasts only a few years. Dagobert surrounds himself with other women, Vulfegonde, then Berthilde, finally Raintrude, an Austrasian, whom he took as concubine in the eighth year of his reign.

He fought the Gascons, the Slavs and the Saxons. He was the last direct Merovingien King, he was able to delay the dissolution of the Frankish Empire. In December of 638, Dagobert is stricken with an intestinal disease in his domaine of Epinay-sur-Seine, and trusts his Mayor of Neustria, Aega, the fate of his wife Nanthilde as well as that of his son Clovis II. On 19 January 639, Dagobert has himself transported to Saint-Denis, where he dies in one of the buildings adjoing the Basilica. He is the first Monarch of France to have chosen Saint-Denis as the final restiing place. It is there that Saint Denis was martyred in the third century, along with his companions Saint Rustique and Saint Eleuthere. In the fifth century, the Gallo-Roman cemetery was levelled and the basilica built. Married before 626: Gomatrude; Gomatrude was the first of five wives. Married before 629: Ragnetrud d'Austrasie; Ragnetrud was the third of Dagobert I's five wives. Married before 634: Nantechild. Died: in 639.

Dagobert I (603-639) was koning der Franken van 629 tot 639.
Tussen 623 en 632 was hij koning van Austrasië. In 629 volgde hij zijn vader Chlothar II op als koning der Franken samen met zijn broer Charibert II, die in 632 overlijdt.

Rise to power

Dagobert was the eldest son of Clotaire II and Berthetrude, or possibly Haldetrude. Clotaire II had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613, and Dagobert became the king of Austrasia when her independent nobles demanded a king of their own. In 623, Clotaire installed his son Dagobert in Austrasia.
On the death of his father in 629, Dagobert inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but Dagobert opposed him. Brodulf, the brother of Sichilde, petitioned Dagobert on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and gave his younger sibling Aquitaine.
Charibert died in 632 and his son Chilperic was assassinated on Dagobert's orders. By 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West.

8. DAGOBERT I, 602-38. His father had made him king of part of Austrasia 623, with ARNULF, Bishop of Metz and PÉPIN of Landen as his advisors in the role of Mayors of the Palace. This latter institution was to become the real power of the do-nothing Merovingian kings. The system finally moved them aside to take the royal dignity in 751 in the person of PÉPIN III le Bref. DAGOBERT, upon his succession 628, pre-empted the portion of his half-brother Charibert ii and forced the Neustrian magnates to recognize him as king, thus controlling both countries. But he fixed his residence in Paris. To appease the Austrasians' resentment at this move, he gave them his three-year-old son SIEGBERT III as their king. DAGOBERT'S control now extended to Burgundy and Aquitaine, and he held nominal loyalty from Bascony and Brittany. Prosperity and a revival of the arts marked his reign. He founded the Abbey of St. Denis near Paris, where he was bur. with many other Kings of France. His tomb effigy may be seen there. He mar. NANTICHILD. Upon his death the kingdom was split again between SIEGBERT, now 9, and his brother Clovis II, age 5.

Dagoberto I (? 604 † 19 de Janeiro de 639) foi rei da Austrásia (623-634) e rei da Nêustria e da Borgonha (629-639). Foi o último monarca merovíngio a exercer algum poder real.

Dagoberto era o filho mais velho de Clotário II e Berthetrude (ou possivelmente Haldetrude). Clotário reinou sozinho sobre todos os francos desde 613, e Dagoberto se tornou rei da Austrásia quando seus nobres independentes exigiram um rei próprio. Em 623, Clotário instalou seu filho Dagoberto na Austrásia.

Com a morte de seu pai em 629, Dagoberto herdou os reinos da Nêustria e da Borgonha. Seu meio irmão Cariberto, filho de Sichilde, reinvidicou a Nêustria mas Dagoberto se opôs a ele. Brodulf, irmão de Sichilde, suplicou a Dagoberto em nome de seu jovem sobrinho, mas Dagoberto o assassinou e cedeu a seu jovem irmão a Aquitânia.

Cariberto morreu em 632, e seu filho Chilperico foi assassinado por ordem de Dagoberto. Em 632, Dagoberto tinha a Aquitânia e a Borgonha firmemente sob seu domínio, tornando-se o mais poderoso rei merovíngio em muitos anos e o mais respeitado governante do Ocidente.

The last Frankish king of the Merovingian dynasty to rule a realmunited in more than name only. The son of Chlotar II, Dagobert becameking of Austrasia in 623 and of the entire Frankish realm in 629.Dagobert secured his realm by making a friendship treaty with theByzantine emperor Heraclius, defeating the Gascons and Bretons, andcampaigning against the Slavs on his eastern frontier. In 631 he sent anarmy to Spain to help the Visigothic usurper Swinthila (Svintila). Hemoved his capital from Austrasia to Paris, a central location from whichthe kingdom could be governed more effectively. He then appeased theAustrasians by making his three-year-old son Sigebert their king in 634.Famed for his love of justice, Dagobert was nevertheless greedy anddissolute. He was succeeded by Sigebert III and another son, Clovis II.The prosperity of Dagobert's reign, and the revival of the arts duringthis period, can be judged from the rich contents of the tombs of theperiod and from the goldsmiths' work for the churches. Dagobert revisedFrankish law, encouraged learning, patronized the arts, and founded thefirst great abbey of Saint-Denis, to which he made many gifts.

Roderick W. Stuart: "Royalty for Commoners", Line 262:41-54

PCI : Dagobert, Ier du nom, connu de tous par la célèbre chanson " Le bon roi Dagobert", fils de Clotaire II et de Berthe, sa deuxième épouse, est désigné comme roi des Francs (2) en 623 (20 janvier-8 avril) par son père, sous la pression de l'aristocratie d'Austrasie. On suppose que cette nomination intervient à la majorité légale de Dagobert, qui aurait alors eu douze ans, ce qui place sa naissance en 610-611 (3). Il est confié à l'éducation des deux plus puissants chefs austrasiens, le maire du palais Pépin de Landen et l'évêque de Metz Arnould. Bien qu'officiellement sous la tutelle de son père, on a la preuve que Dagobert essaie très vite de se comporter en souverain indépendant. S'il est obligé de céder sur quelques cas, comme son mariage forcé en 626 avec Gomatrudis, soeur de sa belle-soeur Sichildis, il fait preuve en revanche d'obstination farouche à d'autres occasions, ainsi dans la querelle entre aristocrates, pour Godin en Bourgogne ou Chrodoald en Austrasie.
En 629, il recueille sans coup férir la quasi-totalité de l'héritage paternel, éliminant rapidement le parti qui s'était formé autour de son demi-frère Charibert II, et ne laissant à celui-ci qu'une mince bande de territoires autour de Toulouse. Il récupère d'ailleurs cette portion dès 632 après la mort fort opportune de Charibert, suivie aussitôt par son fils au berceau. Il est le dernier Mérovingien à maintenir sous sa domination effective la totalité du royaume franc et à s'être fait reconnaître comme tel par ses voisins.
Dès le début de son règne, Dagobert sait s'entourer de conseillers habiles et instruits. À l'intérieur, son règne est marqué par un accroissement du trésor public, un développement de l'Eglise et, grâce à une école du palais instruite et diligente, comptant des esprits comme saint Ouen (Audoen), saint Eloi (Eligius), saint Didier (Desiderius) de Cahors ou Paulus de Verdun, marquant un temps d'arrêt dans la décadence mérovingienne. S'il écarte, vraisemblablement parce qu'il se défie de leur importance grandissante Arnould et Pépin, il accorde en revanche la confiance la plus totale à l'orfèvre Eligius, qui deviendra évêque de Noyon, ou à Aiga, nommé maire du palais de Neustrie. Vers 631, il s'installe définitivement à Paris, et répudie Gomatrudis qu'on lui avait imposée, pour épouser une Neustrienne, Nanthildis. La même année, en Austrasie, il s'éprend d'une jeune fille nommée Ragnetrudis, qui lui donne peu après un fils, Sigebert. A ce moment, s'afflige le chroniqueur, son coeur changea et il s'adonna à la débauche, ayant plusieurs reines en même temps et une multitude de concubines, dépouillant les églises. Il s'allie dans le même temps avec l'empereur Héraclius qui lui conseille de convertir tous les juifs du royaume. En 632, à la mort de son frère donc, il s'empare de l'Aquitaine. L'année 633 est marquée par la guerre contre les Wendes, peuple slave dirigé par le franc Samo, mais en raison de la passivité des Austrasiens, il n'y eut pas de victoire. Ceux-ci supportant de plus en plus mal l'autorité du roi, devenu neustrien, Dagobert est contraint à son tour, en 634, comme l'avait été son père, de leur céder un roi particulier, son jeune fils Sigebert, qui est installé à Metz. Toutefois, la reine Nanthildis donna naissance en 635 à un fils prénommé Clovis, et Dagobert dût passer un accord avec les Austrasiens afin d'assurer que Clovis n'hériterait que de la Neustrie et de la Bourgogne, l'Austrasie restant la propriété de Sigebert. Les quatre années de règne suivantes sont marquées par des guerres contre les Saxons et surtout les Gascons, contre lesquels une expédition réunissant la fine fleur de l'aristocratie est montée. Cette campagne fut victorieuse, mais, au retour, le duc Arinbert se laissa surprendre dans les défilés de la Soule, près de la frontière espagnole, et y fut anéanti avec son arrière-garde (On ne manquera pas d apercevoir ici l un des fondements de la légende de Roncevaux). Enfin, la seizième année de son règne, Dagobert, sans doute atteint de dysenterie, se faisant ramener à Saint-Denis, remet son royaume et son jeune fils à la garde de la reine Nanthildis et du maire du palais Aiga, expirant le 16 janvier 638 ou 639 (4). Il est inhumé dans l'église abbatiale de Saint-Denis (5).

After him came the "Do-Nothing Kings", who peter off into obscurity in the eighth century. They were eventually replaced by the new, vigorous and more Germanic Franks of the Carolingian dynasty. RC: Dagobert I, King of Austrasia, 622-628; King of France, 628-638. Greatest of the Merovingian kings. Married (1) Gometrude; (2) Nantilde; (3) Wulfegunde; (4) Berthilde. RC does not say which wife was the mother of Sigebert III, but Franks picks Nantilde.[De La Pole.FTW]
This from Simpson, either right off Ancestral file or her work. Problems with son Sisibert. My stuff has different mother for him and different spelling.
Dagobert I, King des Francs. Born: in 603, son of Clotaire=Chlothar II, King de Soissons and Bertrude, Some sources assert that Dagobert I was born in the year 606. Note - between 623 and 629: Dagobert I became King of Austrasie in 623 and King of the Franks in 629. At the age of about 25 years, Dagobert, son of Clotaire II and of Bertrade, takes over the succession without difficulty. He must first determine the fate of his half-brother Charibert (son of Queen Sichilde), for whom his uncle Brodulf wanted to yield at least Neustria. Dagobert does not cimply and purely eliminate his half-brother, but he sends him to Aquitaine by yielding to him the cities of Saintes, Perigeux, Toulouse, Cahors, Agen and the countryside between Garonne and the Pyrenees whose residents had taken advantage of the troubles in the kingdom to ally themselves with the Basques. Dagobert wins Dijon and also Saint-Jean-de-Losne where he lives for a few days and meets out justice. The day of his departure from Losne to Chalon, as he bathes before sunrise, he has Brodulf, Uncles of his half-brother Charibert, assassinated, the murder being executed by two of Dagobert's sons and the patrician Guillebaud. In 630, he negotiates a Treaty with the Emperor of Byzantium, Heraclius, a perpetual peace through the intermediary of his envoys, Servais and Paterne. Upon his return to Paris, Dagobert repudiates his wife Gomatrude, sister of Queen Sichilde, herself married to the deceased Clotaire II, Dagobert's father. He immediately, in 631, marries Nanthilde, a simple housekeeper. The reign of Nantilde lasts only a few years. Dagobert surrounds himself with other women, Vulfegonde, then Berthilde, finally Raintrude, an Austrasian, whom he took as concubine in the eighth year of his reign. He was skillfully taught and supported by his Ministers Saint Eloi [who was Dagobert's treasurer and then became Bishop after Dagobert died] and Dadon [alias Saint Ouen, who became Bishop of Rouen in 641 and who was instrumental in the founding of several monasteries including those of Saint-Wandrille, Rebais, and of Jumieges]. He fought the Austrasians and gave them his son, Sigebert, as next king at age 3 [in fact the Bishop of Cologne and a Duke will govern in his name] . With the Austrasian armies and the support of the Saxons and the Lombards, Dagobert overwhelms the Wendes [Slavic resident of the area between the Oder, the Elbe and the superior branch of the Danube] at Wogalisbourg (in Styria, near Gratz) in 632]. He fought the Gascons, the Slavs and the Saxons. He was the last direct Merovingien King, he was able to delay the dissolution of the Frankish Empire. In December of 638, Dagobert is stricken with an intestinal disease in his domaine of Epinay-sur-Seine, and trusts his Mayor of Neustria, Aega, the fate of his wife Nanthilde as well as that of his son Clovis II. On 19 January 639, Dagobert has himself transported to Saint-Denis, where he dies in one of the buildings adjoing the Basilica. He is the first Monarch of France to have chosen Saint-Denis as the final restiing place. It is there that Saint Denis was martyred in the third century, along with his companions Saint Rustique and Saint Eleuthere. In the fifth century, the Gallo-Roman cemetery was levelled and the basilica built. Married before 626: Gomatrude; Gomatrude was the first of five wives. Married before 629: Ragnetrud d'Austrasie; Ragnetrud was the third of Dagobert I's five wives. Married before 634: Nantechild. Died: in 639.
