Biography

About

Childeric III became King of the Franks in 743, arriving at a throne already hollow. The Merovingians had long been ceremonial, real power resting with the palace mayors. For eight years he wore the title while Pepin the Short wielded it. In 751, Pepin dispensed with the fiction entirely and deposed him, claiming the crown and founding the Carolingian line. Childeric likely died around 755, the last flicker of a royal house that had once commanded Europe.
