Question: Information: - Norbert (or Nordebert) (died 697) was the duke of Burgundy and count of Paris in the last quarter of the seventh century. He was a faithful follower of Pepin of Heristal, who put him in charge of Neustria and Burgundy (as a sort of regent) after the Battle of Tertry in 687. Pepin's sons were given the mayoralties of these realms in 695 (or thereabouts). Norbert died in 697 and Burgundy passed to Drogo, son of Pepin and mayor of Burgundy. - Austrasia was a territory which formed the northeastern section of the Merovingian Kingdom of the Franks during the 6th to 8th centuries. It was centred on the Meuse, Middle Rhine and the Moselle rivers, and was the original territory of the Ripuarian Frankish tribes prior to the unification of all Franks under the Salian Frank Clovis I. In AD 567, it became a separate kingdom within the Frankish kingdom and was ruled by Sigebert I. In the 7th and 8th century it was the powerbase from which the Carolingians, originally mayors of the palace of Austrasia, took over the rule of all Franks from the Salian Merovingians. Austrasia gradually lost its territorial character after the disintegration of the Carolingian Empire in the second half of the 9th century. - Pepin the Short (, c. 714 24 September 768) was the King of the Franks from 751 until his death. He was the first of the Carolingians to become king. - Plectrude (died 717) was the consort of Pepin of Herstal, the mayor of the palace and duke of the Franks, from about 670. She was the daughter of Hugobert, seneschal of Clovis IV, and Irmina of Oeren. She was the regent of Neustria during the minority of her grandson Theudoald from 714 until 716. - Count of Paris was a title for the local magnate of the district around Paris in Carolingian times. After Hugh Capet was elected King of France in 987, the title merged into the crown and fell into disuse. However, it was later revived by the Orleanist pretenders to the French throne in an attempt to evoke the legacy of Capet and his dynasty, and is currently used by Prince Henri, Count of Paris, Duke of France. - Duke of Burgundy was a title borne by the rulers of the Duchy of Burgundy, a small portion of traditional lands of Burgundians west of river Saone which in 843 was allotted to Charles the Bald's kingdom of West Franks. Under the Ancien Regime, the Duke of Burgundy was the premier lay peer of the kingdom of France. - Clovis IV (sometimes Clovis III if the "other" Clovis III is considered a usurper) (68295), son of Theuderic III, was the sole king of the Franks from 691 until his death. Although Clovis IV is called "King of the Franks", he was really a puppeta "roi faineant"of his uncle Pepin II, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. He assumed the throne at the age of nine and died when he was only thirteen. - Under the Merovingian dynasty, the mayor of the palace or majordomo ("maior domus") was the manager of the household of the Frankish king. The office existed from the sixth century, and during the seventh it evolved into the "power behind the throne" in the northeastern kingdom of Austrasia. In 751, the mayor of the palace, Pepin the Short, orchestrated the deposition of the king, Childeric III, and was crowned in his place. - Childeric III (c. 717 c. 754) was King of Francia from 743 until he was deposed by Pope Zachary in March 751 at the instigation of Pepin the Short. Although his parentage is uncertain, he is considered the last Frankish king from the Merovingian dynasty. Once Childeric was deposed, Pepin the Short, who was the father of emperor Charlemagne, was crowned the first king of the Franks from the Carolingian dynasty. - Drogo ( 670 -- 708 ) , son of Pepin the Middle and Plectrude , was the duke of Champagne by appointment of his father in 690 and duke of Burgundy from the death of Nordebert in 697 . He was the mayor of the palace of Burgundy from 695 . He married Anstrude , the daughter of Ansflede and Waratton , the former mayor of the palace of Neustria and Burgundy , and also the widow of the mayor of the palace Berthar . They had four sons : Hugh , Arnulf ( c. 690 -- c. 721 ) , Godfrey , and Pepin . Drogo predeceased his father and left the duchy of Champagne to his second - eldest son Arnulf , as the first born Hugh had entered a monastery . Drogo is buried in Metz in Saint - Pierre - aux - Nonnains . - Pepin II (c. 635 16 December 714), commonly known as Pepin of Herstal, was a Frankish statesman and military leader who de facto ruled Francia as the Mayor of the Palace from 680 until his death. He took the title Duke and Prince of the Franks upon his conquest of all the Frankish realms. - Hugobert (also Chugoberctus or Hociobercthus) (died probably in 697) was a seneschal and a count of the palace at the Merovingian court during the reigns of Theuderic III and Childebert III. He was a grandson of the "dux" Theotar, and it is assumed, but not proven, that his father was Chugus, who in 617 became mayor of the palace of Austrasia. The juxtaposition of names in the "Vita Landiberto episcopi Traiectensis" may imply a relationship between him and the family of Saint Lambert (see below). - Theudoald (or Theodald; 707/708 741) was the mayor of the palace, briefly unopposed in 714 after the death of his grandfather, Pepin of Herstal. Then in 715 the nobility acclaimed Ragenfrid mayor of Neustria and Charles Martel mayor of Austrasia. - A majordomo is a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or takes charge for another. Typically, the term refers to the highest ("major") person of a household ("doms" or "domicile") staff, a head servant who acts on behalf of the owner of a large or significant residence. Similar terms include "castellan", "concierge", "chamberlain", "seneschal", "mayor of the palace", "maitre d'hotel", "head butler", and "steward". - The Merovingians were a Salian Frankish dynasty that ruled the Franks for nearly 300 years in a region known as Francia in Latin, beginning in the middle of the 5th century. Their territory largely corresponded to ancient Gaul as well as the Roman provinces of Raetia, Germania Superior and the southern part of Germania. The Merovingian dynasty was founded by Childeric I (c. 457 481), the son of Merovech, leader of the Salian Franks, but it was his famous son Clovis I (481511) who united all of Gaul under Merovingian rule. - Neustria or Neustrasia (meaning "new [western] land" in contrast to Austrasia) was the western part of the kingdom of the Franks that was created in 511 upon the division of the Merovingian kingdom of Clovis I to his four sons following his death. What is the relationship between 'drogo of champagne' and 'pepin of herstal'?
