Charibert

- Charibert I -
Charibert (c.520-567), king of the Franks, was the son of Clotaire I.

On Clotaire's death in 561, his estates were divided between his sons, Charibert receiving Paris as his capital, together with Rouen, Tours, Poitiers, Limoges, Bordeaux and Toulouse.

Besides his wife, Ingoberga, he had unions with Merofleda, a wool-carder's daughter, and Theodogilda, the daughter of a neatherd (cowherd). He was one of the most dissolute of the Merovingian kings, his early death in 567 being brought on by his excesses.
