...Chilperic II and Odo of Aquitaine retreat south of the Loire, seeking refuge beyond Charles Martel’s immediate reach.

However, recognizing the inevitability of Charles’s dominance, Odo soon makes peace, surrendering Chilperic II to Charles, effectively ending the war. Ragenfrid, now without allies, follows suit and submits as well.

With the conflict resolved, Charles emerges as the undisputed Dux Francorum (Duke of the Franks), exercising supreme authority over the Frankish realm. Unlike many rulers before him, Charles chooses mercy over vengeance, opting not to execute his former enemies.

A Policy of Clemency and Consolidation

• Theudoald, his late stepmother Plectrude’s grandson and former rival, is not only spared but welcomed into Charles’s army and treated with kindness.
• Chilperic II, though deposed, is allowed to live, marking the continuation of the Merovingian monarchy in name only.
• Ragenfrid, despite his rebellion, is also spared, though his political career effectively ends.

With no serious rivals left, Charles Martel fully consolidates his power. This decisive moment ushers in a new era, setting the stage for his later campaigns to expand and secure the Frankish kingdom, laying the groundwork for the eventual rise of the Carolingian dynasty.
