Childeric II

king of Austrasia; later also of Neustria and Burgundy
Years: 653 - 675

Childeric II (c. 653 – 675) is the king of Austrasia from 662 and of Neustria and Burgundy from 673 until his death, making him sole King of the Franks for the final two years of his life.

He was the second eldest son of Clovis II.

His elder brother Chlothar III was briefly sole king from 661, but gave Austrasia to Childeric the next year.

He was still a mere child when he was raised on the shields of his warriors and proclaimed king in Austrasia.
