Charibert II
king of Aquitaine
Charibert II (died 632, Blaye, Fr.) was the king of Aquitaine from 630. On the death of his father, Chlotar II, the entire Frankish realm went to his brother, Dagobert I, but Dagobert ceded to him several territories in Aquitaine and Gascony, with Charibertās capital at Toulouse, presumably to improve border defenses against the Visigoths and Basques of Spain. After some success, Charibert and his son died in quick succession, and the territories reverted to Dagobert.
