Dagobert III.

Dagobert III. (* 699, † 715 between September and February 29, 716 3 ) was the Merovingian king of the Franks from 711 until his death.

He was the son of the Frankish king Childebert III. († 711 ). In accession to the throne (probably in February ) 711 was Dagobert III. ripuarischem by law still a minor. The real power lay in the hands of the Middle Pippin. Yet it was not so much that there was no need for the appointment of a genuine Merovingian. His politically unstable reign was marked by confrontations between Plectrude, Charles Martel and Raganfrid. Dagobert died early; his son Theodoric IV, the successor state was actually passed over, but Chilperic II was appointed.
