Article
Chlothar III (also spelled Chlotar, Clothar, Clotaire, Chlotochar, or Hlothar; 652–673) was King of the Franks, ruling in Neustria and Burgundy from 657 to his death. He also briefly ruled Austrasia.
He was the eldest son of King Clovis II, and his queen Balthild and succeeded his father under the regency of his mother. Only a month beforehand, according to the near-contemporary Life of Eligius by the courtier Audoin (bishop) of Rouen, Saint Eligius had prophesied the death of Clovis, Balthild's downfall, and Chlothar's short reign.
