See also:CLOTAIRE II . (d. 629) was the son of See also:Chilperic I. On the assassination of his See also:father in 584 he was still in his See also:cradle. He was, however, recognized as See also:- KING

king, thanks to the devotion of his See also:mother See also:Fredegond and the See also:protection of his See also:uncle Gontran, king of See also:Burgundy. It was not until after the See also:death of his See also:cousin See also:Childebert II. in 595 that Clotaire took any active See also:part in affairs. He then endeavoured to enlarge his estates at the expense of Childebert's sons, Theodebert, king of See also:Austrasia, and Theuderich II., king of Burgundy; but after gaining a victory at Laffaux (597), he was defeated at Dormelles (600), and lost part of his See also:kingdom. After the See also:war between Theodebert and Theuderich and their subsequent death, the nobles of Austrasia and Burgundy appealed to Clotaire, who, after putting See also:Brunhilda to death, became See also:master of the whole of the Frankish kingdom (613). He was obliged, however, to make See also:great See also:con-cessions to the See also:aristocracy, to whom he owed his victory. By the constitution of the 18th of See also:October 614 he gave legal force to canons which had been voted some days previously by a See also:council convened at See also:Paris, but not without attempting to modify them by numerous restrictions. He extended the competence of the ecclesiastical tribunals, suppressed unjust taxes and undertook to select the See also:counts from the districts they had to administer. In 623 he made his son Dagobert king of the Austrasians, and gradually subdued all the provinces that had formerly belonged to Childebert II. He also guaranteed a certain measure of See also:independence to the nobles of Burgundy, giving them the See also:option of having a See also:special See also:mayor of the See also:palace, or of dispensing with that officer. These concessions procured him a reign of See also:comparative tranquillity. He died on the 18th of October 629, and was buried at Paris in the See also:- CHURCH
