Theodoric III, king of the Franks

THEODERICH, son of CLOVIS II King of the Franks in Neustria & his wife Bathildis --- ([651]-[2 Sep 690/12 Apr 691], bur Arras, basilique Saint-Vaast). The Liber Historiæ Francorum names (in order) "Chlotharium, Childericum atque Theudericum" as the three sons of "Chlodoveus…ex Balthilde regina eius", recording in the following paragraph that Theoderich succeeded his brother after a reign of 4 years[469]. The parentage of "Theodorici regis" is given in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[470]. He succeeded his brother in 673 as THEODERICH III King of the Franks in Neustria and Burgundy, under the protection of the maior domus Ebroin. After the latter was deposed and imprisoned at Luxeuil, King Theoderich was deposed, tonsured[471], forced to become a monk at Saint-Denis, and replaced by his younger brother Childerich. After the latter's assassination, King Theoderich was restored in Neustria end 675. After the maior domus Berthar was defeated by the Austrasians, King Theoderich was forced to flee but was captured by Pépin, maior domus in Austrasia. According to the Continuator of Fredegar, he died "after a reign of seventeen years"[472]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records the death of "Theudericus rex" after a reign of 19 years[473]. The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records the death in 693 of “Theodericus Rex” and the accession of “Clodoveus filius eius”[474].

m CHROTECHILDIS [Rotilde] [Doda], daughter of --- (-692 or after). "Theudericus rex Francorum" donated property at the request of "regine nostre Chrodochilde…et…Berchario maiorem domos nostre" to the abbey of St Denis by charter dated 30 Oct 688[475]. "Chrotechildis regina" is named as mother of King Clovis III in the Cartulaire of Saint-Bertin[476]. She was regent for her son King Chlodovech III until 692. The necrology of Arras Saint-Vaast names "Theodericus rex Galliæ, Doda uxor regina"[477]. The epitaph of King Theoderich III and his wife bore the inscription "rex Theodericus…cum coniuge Doda", assumed to be another name by which Rotilde was known[478]. Settipani approves the theory of Maurice Chaume that the wife of King Theoderich III was Doda, daughter of maior domus Ansegisel[479]. The primary source evidence which provides the evidence for this theory has not yet been identified. As noted in the document MEROVINGIAN NOBILITY, Doda was the possible name of Ansegisel’s mother, based only on a later source.

King Theoderich III & his wife had [three] children:

1. CHLODOVECH [Clovis] ([678]-695, bur Choisy-au-Bac, near Compiègne, basilique Saint-Etienne). "Chlodoveus rex Francorum" names "avunculi nostri Chlothacharii et Childerici…et genitor nostri Theuderici quondam regis…avos nostros Chlodoveus quondam rex" in his deed dated 1 Jun 691, subscribed by "genitricis nostræ Chrodechildis reginæ"[480]. He is named as son of Theoderich in the Cartulaire of Saint-Bertin[481]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Chlodoveus filius eius [=Theuderici regis]…puer…ex regina…Chrodchilde" when recording his succession to his father and reign of two years[482]. He succeeded his father in 690 as CLOVIS III King of the Franks, under the authority of Pépin d'Herstal [Carolingian], but died after "having reigned four years"[483]. The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records the death in 695 of “Clodoveus puer Rex” and the accession of “Childebertus frater eius”[484].
2. CHILDEBERT (-14 Apr 711, bur Choisy-au-Bac, near Compiègne, basilique Saint-Etienne). "Childebertus rex Francorum" names "geneture nostro Theuderico condam rige" in his deed dated 14 Mar 697[485]. "Hildebertus" is named brother of King Clovis III in the Cartulaire of Saint-Bertin[486]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Childebertus frater eius [=Chlodoveus rex]" when recording that he succeeded his brother[487]. He succeeded his brother in 695 as CHILDEBERT III King of the Franks, under the authority of Pépin d'Herstal [Carolingian]. "Childeberthus rex Francorum" confirmed rights to receipts from annual markets at Saint-Denis to "Mamacas", referring to previous grants by “a longo tempore Chlodovius quondam avus noster, seu et posthia avunculus noster Childericus, vel domnus noster et genetur noster Theudericus, eciam et germanus noster Chlodocharius, per eorum precepcionis”, by charter dated 13 Dec 710[488]. The reports about Childebert’s date of death are contradictory. The Annales Metenses record the death of "Hildebertus rex" in 708 and his burial "Cauciaco in basilica sancti Stephani martyris"[489]. The Liber Historiæ Francorum records the death of "Childebertus rex" after a reign of 17 years and his burial "Cauciaeco monasterio in basilica sancti Stephani protomartyris"[490]. The Continuator of Fredegar records his death after reigning sixteen years and his burial place[491]. The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records the death “XVIII Kal Mai” in 712 of “Childebertus Rex Francorum”[492]. m [ERMENECHILDIS], daughter of ---. Settipani states that Ermenechildis is named as the wife of King Childebert III in the 12th century Gesta Episcoporum Tullensis[493]. She is not named in the Vita Dagoberto III Regis Francorum which relates the life of her son[494]. King Childebert III & his wife had one child:

a) DAGOBERT ([697/98]-[3 Sep/31 Dec] 715, bur Choisy-au-Bac, near Compiègne, basilique Saint-Etienne). The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Daygobertus puer filius eius [=Childebertus rex]" when recording that he succeeded his father[495]. The Vita Dagoberto III Regis Francorum names "Dagobertus rex…Theodericus avus ipsius…Hildebertus pater ipsius"[496]. "Dagoberctus rex Francorum" names "consobrinus noster Guntramnus rex…avi nostri Chlothacharius et item Dagobertus seu etiam Chlodoveus, nec non et Chlothacharius…et avus noster Theudericus…et avunculus noster item Chlodoveus…et genitor noster Childebertus quondam reges" in his deed dated 18 Jan 712[497]. "Dagobertus" is named son of King Childebert III in the Cartulaire of Saint-Bertin[498]. He succeeded his father in 711 as DAGOBERT III King of the Franks, under the authority of Pépin d'Herstal [Carolingian]. The Continuator of Fredegar and the Liber Historiæ Francorum both record that he died "after a reign of five years"[499]. The Monumenta Epternacensia record that "Dagobertus rex" was killed in 715 "in Cortia silva" and buried "Satiniaco"[500]. m ---. The name of King Dagobert III's wife is not known. King Dagobert III & his wife had one child:

i) THEODERICH ([712]-[16 Mar/30 Apr] 737, bur église de l'abbaye de Saint-Denis). The Liber Historiæ Francorum names "Theudericum…filium Dagoberto iunioris" recording his succession and reign of six years[501]. "Theudericus rex Francorum" names "proavi nostri Clodovei et…avunculorum nostrorum Clothacharii et Childerici…et avorum nostrorum Theuderici et Childeberti atque consobrini nostri Chilperici quondam regis" in his deed dated 3 Mar 721[502]. After being taken from the monastery of Chelles, Charles "Martel" installed him [30 Jan/13 May] 721 as THEODERICH IV King of the Franks. He was not replaced as King of the Franks until six years after his death.

3. [BERTRADA [Berta]. Abbess of Prüm. Settipani suggests that Bertrada, abbess of Prüm and great grandmother of Charlemagne, was the daughter of King Theoderich III, basing this on the transmission of the names Charibert and Theoderich into the Carolingian family[503]. m ---.]

Theuderic III (or Theuderich, Theoderic, or Theodoric; in French, Thierry) (654 – 691) was the king of Neustria (including Burgundy) on two occasions (673 and 675 – 691) and king of Austrasia from 679 to his death in 691. Thus, he was the king of all the Franks from 679. The son of Clovis II and Balthild, he has been described as a puppet — a roi fainéant — of Mayor of the Palace Ebroin, who may have even appointed him without the support of the nobles. He succeeded his brother Clotaire III in Neustria in 673, but Childeric II of Austrasia displaced him soon thereafter until he died in 675 and Theuderic retook his throne. When Dagobert II died in 679, he received Austrasia as well and became king of the whole Frankish realm.

He and the Neustrian mayor of the palace, Waratton, made peace with Pepin of Heristal, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, in 681. However, on Waratton's death in 686, the new mayor, Berthar, made war with Austrasia and Pepin vanquished the Burgundo-Neustrian army under Berthar and Theuderic (a Neustrian) at the Battle of Tertry in 687, thus paving the way for Austrasian dominance of the Frankish state.

He married Clotilda, a daughter of Ansegisel and Saint Begga of Landen.

They had the following children:

Bertrada of Prüm (676-740), married Martin of Laon Clovis IV, king (682-695) Childebert III, king (683-711) He married Amalberge (Saint Amalaberga) before 674, daughter of Wandregisis and Farahild. The had a daughter:

Filho de Clóvis II e Santa Batilde, é descrito como um rei fantoche - roi fainéant - do prefeito do palácio da Nêustria, Ebroin, que o indicou mesmo sem o apoio da nobreza. Ele sucedeu seu irmão Clotário III na Nêustria em 673, mas Childerico II da Austrásia tomou seu lugar logo em seguida até morrer em 675, quando Teodorico retomou seu trono. Quando Dagoberto II morreu em 679, ele recebeu a Austrásia e se tornou rei de todos os francos.

Theuderic III (or Theuderich, Theoderic, or Theodoric; in French, Thierry) was the King of Neustria (western France), including Burgundy, on two occasions (673 and 675 – 691) and King of Austrasia (eastern France and modern Benelux region) from 679 to his death in 691. Thus, he was the King of all the Franks from 679.

Theuderic married our ancestor Clotilda, a daughter of Ansegisel and Saint Begga of Landen; they had three children, including our ancestor Bertrada. Theuderic next married Amalberge (Saint Amalaberga) before 674, daughter of Wandregisis and Farahild. They had a daughter and possibly two sons.

Theuderic and the Neustrian Mayor of the Palace, Waratton, made peace with Pepin of Heristal, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, and our ancestor, in 681. However, on Waratton's death in 686, the new mayor, Berthar, made war with Austrasia and Pepin vanquished the Burgundo-Neustrian army under Berthar and Theuderic (a Neustrian) at the Battle of Tertry in 687, thus paving the way for Austrasian dominance of the Frankish state.

King of Neustria and Burgundy 673; King of Austrasia 676-91

d. 690/691

Merovingian ruler who succeeded his brother Chlotar III as king of Neustria and Burgundy in 673, at the instigation of Ebroïn, the Neustrian mayor of the palace. He was soon deposed by another brother, Childeric II, was restored in 675, then was momentarily deposed again in favour of a certain Clovis (allegedly Chlotar III's son), but recovered his throne in 676 and finally (679) also became king of Austrasia. A puppet pure and simple, he then had to watch his subjects fight one another until the final victory of Pepin II and the Austrasians at the Battle of Tertry in 687.

However, on Waratton's death in 686, the new mayor, Berthar, made war with Austrasia and Pepin vanquished the Burgundo-Neustrian army under Berthar and Theuderic (a Neustrian) at the Battle of Tertry in 687, thus paving the way for Austrasian dominance of the Frankish state.
