Chlotar III
Chlotar III (died March 10/11, 673) was a Merovingian king of Neustria and Burgundy, who succeeded his father, Clovis II, in 657. After the retirement of his mother, Balthild, to a monastery in 664 or 665, he came—and remained—under the domination of the Neustrian mayor of the palace, Ebroin.
