1. Clovis II KING OF NUESTRA AND BURGUNDY has few details recorded about him.

 

Clovis II. King of Nuestrea and Burgundy. Before King Dagobert I of the Franks died, his Neustrian and Burgundian nobles urged a union of those two kingdoms, and do when he died in 639, Clovis II became king of Neustria and Burgundy. In 656, both Grimoald, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, and his son Childebert who he had placed on the Austrasian throne, were executed. The next year, Clovis II died, leaving the kingdom to his son Chlotar III (younger sons being Theuderic III and Childeric II), who was just a puppet of the powerful Neustrian and Burgundian nobles.

In 673, the young child Theuderic III became puppet king of Neustria, and when his brothers Chlotar III and then Childeric II died in 675, he became king of all the Franks. In 687, he and the Austrasian Mayor of the Palace were defeated by Pepin II, grandson of Pepin I. He died at a young age in 691.
