The Submission of Burgundy to Charles Martel

Having witnessed the military defeat of Neustria, Burgundy recognizes the futility of resistance and capitulates to the rule of Charles Martel. Rather than facing the same fate as the Neustrian forces, the Burgundian nobility chooses to submit, acknowledging Charles as the undisputed ruler of the Frankish realm.

With Burgundy’s peaceful submission, Charles consolidates his control over all three major Frankish territories—Austrasia, Neustria, and Burgundy—further strengthening his position as the de facto ruler of Francia. This diplomatic victory allows him to shift his focus toward external threats and the expansion of Frankish influence through both military conquest and Christianization.
