Notes


THEODERICH, son of CLOVIS II King of the Franks in Neustria & his wife Bathildis --- ([651]-[2 Sep 690/12 Apr 691], bur Arras, basilique Saint-Vaast). The Liber Historiæ Francorum names (in order) "Chlotharium, Childericum atque Theudericum" as the threesons of "Chlodoveus…ex Balthilde regina eius", recording in the following paragraph that Theoderich succeeded his brother after a reign of 4 years[469]. The parentage of "Theodorici regis" is given in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[470]. He succeeded his brother in 673 as THEODERICH III King of the Franks in Neustria and Burgundy, under the protection of the maior domus Ebroin. After the latter was deposed and imprisoned at Luxeuil, King Theoderich was deposed, tonsured[471], forced to become a monk at Saint-Denis, and replaced by his younger brother Childerich. After the latter's assassination, King Theoderich was restored in Neustria end 675. After the maior domus Berthar was defeated by the Austrasians, King Theoderich was forced to flee but was captured by Pépin, maior domus in Austrasia. According to the Continuator of Fredegar, he died "after a reign of seventeen years"[472]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records the death of "Theudericus rex" after a reign of 19 years[473]. The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records the death in 693 of “Theodericus Rex” and the accession of “Clodoveus filius eius”[474]. m CHROTECHILDIS [Rotilde] [Doda], daughter of --- (-692 or after). "Theudericus rex Francorum" donated property at the request of "regine nostre Chrodochilde…et…Berchario maiorem domos nostre" to the abbey of St Denis by charter dated 30 Oct 688[475]. "Chrotechildis regina" is named as mother of King Clovis III in the Cartulaire of Saint-Bertin[476]. She was regent for her son King Chlodovech III until 692. The necrology of Arras Saint-Vaast names "Theodericus rex Galliæ, Doda uxor regina"[477]. The epitaph of King Theoderich III and his wife bore the inscription "rex Theodericus…cum coniuge Doda", assumed to be another name by which Rotilde was known[478]. Settipani approves the theory of Maurice Chaume that the wife of King Theoderich III was Doda, daughter of maior domus Ansegisel[479]. The primary source evidence which provides the evidence for this theory has not yet been identified. As noted in the document MEROVINGIAN NOBILITY, Doda was the possible name of Ansegisel’s mother, based only on a later source. King Theoderich III & his wife had [three] children: 1. CHLODOVECH [Clovis] ([678]-695, bur Choisy-au-Bac, near Compiègne, basilique Saint-Etienne). -the imposter, Clovis III, adopted per Ebroin, Mayor of the Palace to legitimate his standing and "rule" over the infant "king". 2. CHILDEBERT (-14 Apr 711, bur Choisy-au-Bac, near Compiègne, basilique Saint-Etienne). 3. [BERTRADA [Berta]. Abbess of Prüm. 1. CHLOTHACHAR [Clotaire] (-[late] 718). The parentage of King Clotaire IV is not stated in any of the contemporary sources consulted. The later sources are contradictory about his origin. The Chronicon Vedastinum records the accession of "Lotharius filius eius" on the death of his father King Dagobert[504]. The Historia Regum Francorum records that "Dagobertus genuit Theodericum, Theodericus genuit Clotharium"[505], although this is impossible chronologically if it is correct that King Theoderich IV was born in [712]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the accession of "Lotharius patruus eius" after the death of "Dagobertus iunior Francorum rex"[506], which if correct would mean that Clotaire IV was the son of King Theoderich III. Settipani favours this last theory in his discussion of the conflicting sources[507] but there appears to be no basis for deciding which of the different theories is correct. He was installed in [Feb 718] as CLOTAIRE IV King of the Franks in Austrasia by Charles "Martel" but died soon after[508]. The Gesta Francorum records the death in 719 of "Hlotharius rex"[509]. The Chronicon Vedastinum records death in 724 of "Lotharius, Dagoberti filius"[510].
