See also:EBROIN (d. 681) , Frankish " See also:mayor of the See also:palace," was a Neustrian, and wished to impose the authority of See also:Neustria over See also:Burgundy and See also:Austrasia. In 656, at the moment of his See also:accession to See also:power, See also:Sigebert III., the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)

king of Austrasia, had just died, and the Austrasian mayor of the palace, Grimoald, was attempting to usurp the authority. The See also:great nobles, however, appealed to the king of Neustria, See also:Clovis II., and unity was re-established. But in spite of a very See also:firm policy Ebroin was unable to maintain this unity, and while See also:Clotaire III., son of Clovis II., reigned in Neustria and Burgundy, he was obliged in 66o to give the Austrasians a See also:special king, Childeric II., See also:brother of Clotaire III., and a special mayor of the palace, Wulfoald. He endeavoured to maintain at any See also:rate the See also:union of Neustria and Burgundy, but the great Burgundian nobles wished to remain See also:independent, and See also:rose under St Leger (Leodegar), See also:bishop of See also:Autun, defeated Ebroin, and interned him in the monastery of Luxeuil (670). A See also:proclamation was then issued to the effect that each See also:kingdom should keep its own See also:laws and customs, that there should be no further interchange of functionaries between the kingdoms, and that no one should again set up a tyranny like that of Ebroin. Soon, however, Leger was defeated by Wulfoald and the Austrasians, and was himself confined at Luxeuil in 673. In the same See also:year, taking See also:advantage of the See also:general anarchy, Ebroin and Leger See also:left the See also:cloister and soon found themselves once more See also:face to face. Each looked for support to a different Merovingian king, Ebroin even proclaiming a false Merovingian as See also:sovereign. In this struggle Leger was vanquished; he was besieged in Autun, was forced to surrender and had his eyes put out, and, on the r 2th of See also:October 678, he was put to See also:death after undergoing prolonged tortures. The See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church honours him as a See also:saint. After his death Ebroin became See also:sole and See also:absolute ruler of the See also:Franks, imposing his authority over Burgundy and subduing the Austrasians, whom he defeated in 678 at Bois-du-See also:Fay, near See also:Laon. His See also:triumph, however, was See also:short-lived; he was assassinated in 681, the victim of a combined attack of his numerous enemies. He was a See also:man of great See also:energy, but all his actions seem to have been dictated by no higher motives than ambition and lust of power.
