Clovis III
Clovis III was the Frankish king of Austrasia in 675 and possibly into 676.
A member of the Merovingian dynasty, he was a child and his reign so brief and contested that he may be considered only a pretender.
He is sometimes even left unnumbered and Clovis IV is instead called Clovis III.
The only source for his reign is the contemporary "Suffering of Leudegar".
Following the assassination of Childeric II in 675, the kingdoms of Austrasia and Neustria accepted different claimants.
In Neustria, under the influence of Leudegar, bishop of Autun, Childeric's younger brother Theuderic III was installed as king.
In Austrasia, Ebroin, the former mayor of the palace, installed Clovis III with support of a faction of the magnates opposed to the mayoralty of Wulfoald.
Ebroin and his allies claimed that Clovis was a son of Chlothar III, Childeric's older brother.
The "Suffering of Leudegar" claims that this was a lie, although there is nothing implausible in it, since Chlothar was about twenty-three years old when he died.
Nor is the naming of Clovis unusual, since firstborn sons in the Merovingian dynasty were often named after their grandfathers, and Chlothar's father was Clovis II.
When Theuderic III had a son in 677, however, he named him Clovis (the future Clovis IV) and this may be taken as evidence that the "Suffering" is correct and his brother never had a son of that name.
Ebroin needed a legitimate Merovingian in order to raise an army and to issue legally binding orders ("praecepta").
(A generation later, the same requirement forced Charles Martel to find a Merovingian pretender, Chlothar IV, in 717.)
Once raised, Ebroin marched the army into the northwest of the kingdom and seized the royal treasury in the fall of 675.
Once he had secured control of the treasury, he no longer needed Clovis and he abandoned him, declaring himself for Theuderic III.
Those Austrasians opposed to Ebroin and to union with Neustria, however, did not recognise Theuderic, and instead enthroned Dagobert II sometime between 2 April and 30 June 676.
There are some coins that have been attributed to the short reign of Clovis III.
This attribution, first suggested by Jean Lafaurie in 1956, has been accepted by Egon Felder and Philip Grierson.
A gold tremissis bearing the name and the name of the moneyer, Eborino, probably belongs to him.
Although it was possibly minted under Clovis IV, there is no evidence for the continuation of gold coinage in the Frankish kingdoms past the 670s.
Likewise, late gold tremisses of Marseille bearing the name of Clovis probably belong to Clovis III.
Stylistically, these have much in common with the coinage of Dagobert II, bearing the cross-on-steps motif on the reverse in imitation of Byzantine coinage.
Of the ultimate fate of Clovis III nothing is known.
Clovis IV
Clovis IV( c.677–694/695) was the king of the Franks from 690 or 691 until his death.
If the brief reign of Clovis III( 675) is ignored as a usurpation, then Clovis IV may be numbered Clovis III.
A member of the Merovingian dynasty, Clovis was the son of King Theuderic III and Queen Chrodochild.
He was born around 677 or possibly towards 682.
He succeeded his father as the sole ruler of the Franks upon the latter's death in 690 or 691.
He ruled an undivided kingdom including Austrasia, Burgundy and Neustria.
According to the" Annals of Metz", a pro-Pippinid source, he was appointed by Pippin of Herstal, the mayor of the palace of Austrasia, and reigned four years.
Clovis was a minor at his accession, and real power was in Pippin's hands.
His minority, coming as it did on the heels of his father's efforts to strengthen royal power, was an important factor in the decline of the Merovingian dynasty.
Clovis III resided primarily in Compiègne( the traditional site of the Marchfield) and Montmacq.
Nine of Clovis's charters have been edited and published.
Four of them are records of" placita"( public judicial hearings) held in the king's presence.
Despite the rise of Pippin and his family, which is a major theme of the" Annals of Metz", the royal court was still important in Clovis's reign.
During a" placitum" in Valenciennes in 693, Clovis was attended by twelve bishops, twelve" viri illustres"( including Nordebert, the Neustrian mayor of the palace), nine counts and numerous other officials.
The future Neustrian mayor of the palace Ragamfred started out as a" domesticus" under Clovis.
Warno, the Neustrian" comes palatii" of Chilperic II, also began his career at the court of Clovis.
In 692, Clovis confirmed for the Abbey of Saint- Denis the right to collect certain tolls in Marseille, a right which it had been granted by Dagobert I.
He also granted to the Abbey of Saint- Médard the nearby house that had been the primary residence of the former mayor of the palace, Ebroin, in Soissons.
The anonymous continuator of the" Chronicle of Fredegar" devotes two sentences to Clovis IV:" King Theuderic died ... and his little son Clovis was chosen to succeed him as king.
But it was not long before King Clovis fell ill and died, having reigned four years."
He died in either 694 or 695.
He was succeeded by his brother, Childebert III.
Clovis does not appear to have made much of an impression on his contemporaries; his brother was more highly regarded.

Chlothar III
Chlothar III (or "ChlotarClotharClotaireChlotochar", or "Hlothar", giving rise to the name Lothair; 652–73) was the eldest son of Clovis II, king of Neustria and Burgundy, and his queen Balthild.
When Clovis died in 658, Chlothar succeeded him under the regency of his mother.
Only a month beforehand, according to the near-contemporary "Life of Eligius" by the courtier Audoin (bishop) of Rouen, Saint Eligius had prophesied the death of Clovis, Balthild's downfall, and Chlothar's short reign.
Few things are known about the time of Chlothar's reign.
The "Historia Langobardorum" reports that in the early 660s a Frankish army invaded Provence and then Italy.
This force came upon the camp of the Lombard king Grimoald I of Benevento, at Rivoli near Asta.
Grimuald pretended to flee.
The Franks looted the camp and celebrated.
Then, after midnight, Grimuald attacked and drove them back to Neustria.
After the death of Saint Eligius in 661, the "Life of Eligius" records that a plague reduced the population of France's cities.
A plague in the British Isles, according to Bede, did the same there in 664.
During the regency, Austrasians requested a king of their own and, in 662, Chlothar's court sent another son of Clovis II, Childeric II, to be king there.
Also during his reign, the mayor of the palace Erchinoald died and a council of Franks elected Ebroin to replace him.
Ebroin's early administrative authority was significant: Bede tells the story of how, in 668, the newly appointed Theodore of Canterbury could only travel through the Frankish kingdoms from Rome with the mayor's permission.
Chlothar may have been more politically active after this time, as he reached the age of majority in 669.
The nearest contemporary chronicle, the Liber Historiae Francorum of 727, relates only that he ruled for four years (presumably a reference to his active years 669-673) and then died.
He is confirmed as still being in the sixteenth year of his reign in a chronological note in a Victorian Easter table of 673.
His brother Theuderic III succeeded him as king later that same year.
It is notable that he is often described as the first "roi fainéant"—do-nothing king—of the Merovingian dynasty.
