CLOVIS IV

'Clovis IV' (sometimes 'Clovis III' if the ''other'' Clovis III is considered a usurper) (682-695) , son of Theuderic III, was the sole king of the Franks from 691 until his death. Although Clovis IV is called "King of the Franks", he was really a puppet—a ''roi fainéant''—of Pepin II, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. He assumed the throne at the age of nine and died when he was only thirteen.
