| | Merovingian Dynasty |
 | | This created the new political units of the Kingdoms of Reims, Orléans, Paris and Soissons and inaugurated a period of disunity which was to last with brief interruptions until the end (751) of his Merovingian dynasty. |
 | | In the negotiations that ensued, Dagobert ceded to his half-brother the traditionally independent realm of Aquitaine, specifically including Toulouse, Cahors, Agen, Perigueux and Saintes, which Charibert added to his possessions in Gascony, where he was married to Gisela, the heiress of Amand of Gascony. |
 | | Charibert's surviving son, Boggis, Duke of Aquitaine, (ca 626 — ca 688), was the father of Saint Hubertus, who resigned his worldly claims to his younger brother, who began a line of Merovingian dukes of Aquitaine that lasted until 778, when the last, Loup II, was killed by Charlemagne. |
