Everything about Charibert Ii totally explained
Charibert II (c.
608–
8 April 632), a son of
Clotaire II and his second wife
Sichilde, was briefly
king of Aquitaine from
629 to his death, with his capital at
Toulouse.
When his father,
Clotaire II,
King of the Franks, died in 629, Charibert made a bid for the kingdom of
Neustria against his elder half-brother
Dagobert I, who had already been king of
Austrasia since
623. In the ensuing negotiations, Charibert, a minor, was represented by his uncle
Brodulf, the brother of Queen Sichilde. Dagobert had Brodulf killed and ceded the near-independent realm of
Aquitaine to Charibert. This agreement was confirmed in
631, when Charibert stood godfather to Dagobert's son
Sigebert.
Charibert's realm included Toulouse,
Cahors,
Agen,
Perigueux, and
Saintes, to which he added his possessions in
Gascony. Charibert was married to Gisela, the heiress of Amand of Gascony. His fighting force subdued the resistance of the
Basques, until the whole of the
Basque Country was under his control.
In
632, Charibert died at
Blaye,
Gironde—possibly assassinated on Dagobert's orders—and soon after that Charibert's infant son
Chilperic was also killed. Aquitaine passed again to Dagobert. Both Charibert and his son are buried in the early
Romanesque Basilica of Saint-Romain at Blaye.
