Years: 717 - 717
Charles takes Cologne and disperses Plectrude’s adherents.
He allows both Plectrude and Theudoald to live, and treats them with kindness—unusual for these Dark Ages, when mercy to a former jailer, or a potential rival, is rare.
On this success, he proclaims one Clotaire IV king of Austrasia in opposition to Chilperic II.
