Untitled[edit]

Merovingian history is murky and confusing for the average Wikipedia reader (like me), and needs to be made quite explicit at each article. The 3 July 2005 version no longer makes the following points, perhaps intentionally:

"When Clotaire II, King of the Franks, died in 629, the Kingdom passed undivided to the elder son Dagobert I who was already king of Austrasia. An undivided inheritance was unusual among the Merovingians." Was this not the fact, when negotiations on behalf of Charibert II began? Was Dagobert in less than full possession at Paris? Was not an undivided Merovingian inheritance unusual?
"Dagobert ceded to his half-brother the traditionally independent realm of Aquitaine" The traditional independence of Aquitaine is an essential aspect of the gift.
"to which he added to his possessions in Gascony" The possessions in Gascony were won by a combination of a well-selected marriage and force of arms. Can the point that Charibert's possessions in the south were added be made more clearly?
"assassinated at Blaye, Gironde, possibly on Dagobert's orders" Why is this merely a possibility? --Wetman 3 July 2005 23:41 (UTC)

Birth date[edit]

The birth date has recently been amended. This date should be vetted. --Wetman 17:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Coin[edit]

Here's a personal photograph of a coin of Charibert II. Feel free to insert it into the article. Cheers PHG (talk) 07:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
