Episode: 3 - Clothar II
Description: Becoming king when he was just a baby, he definitely earned the nickname "Clothar the Young", but does he deserve to be called "Clothar the Great"? This week Ben and Eliza witness the fate of Brunhilda, the reunification of the Franks after decades of civil war, and the emergence of a new power: the Mayor of the Palace. Vague and contradictory sources make this a difficult king to rate. Is a long, stable reign enough to escape the Guillotine, or do the seeds of future destruction spell doom for Clothar II?Message us your thoughts!
