Charles (Charles-Martel) is known as ‘the Hammer’. His nickname came about as the famous Frankish commander who drove an Arab expeditionary force intent on seizing Gaul for the Caliphate back into Spain. In so doing, he very probably preserved Western Europe as a Romano-Teutonic and Christian region. After severe internecine warfare between Meroving Kings had resulted in long sequences of child-rulers, the Mayors assumed practical control over the entire state and, with the unification of Austrasia with Neustria, held the entire Frankish world in their hands. Dagobert I was the last active Merovingian to personally govern the entire realm.

Childebert II (570-595) was the king of Austrasia from 575 until his death in 595, the eldest and succeeding son of Sigebert I, and the king of Burgundy from 592 to his death, as the adopted and succeeding son of his uncle Guntram.
