Years: 719 - 719

Moorish attacks in 718 on Aquitaine, heretofore independent of Frankish rule, had prompted Odo, recognizing in Frankish king Charles an able protector, to submit to the suzerainty of Austrasia in 719.

In exchange for recognizing his dukeship, he surrenders the king and his treasures to Charles, who recognizes Chilperic’s kingship over all the Franks in return for legitimate royal affirmation of his mayoralty, likewise over all the kingdoms).
