Theodoric II King of Burgundy ¹

  General Notes:

Younger son of the Merovingian Childebert II, he succeeded his father as king of Burgundy in 595. Cooperation with his brother, Theodebert II of Austrasia, was followed by discord, and in 612 Theodoric, supported by his grandmother, Brunhild, overthrew his brother. His death shortly afterwards led, after the weeks-long reign of his young son and successor, Sigebert II, to the reunification of the Frankish lands under Chlotar II. Acceded: 595.
