Theudebert II (586-612), king of Austrasia (595-612), was the son and heir of Childebert II. He received the kingdom of Austrasia at the death of his father in 595, but was dominated by his grandmother Brunhilda, whom he succeeded in driving away in 599. With his brother Theuderic II he resumed the fight against the kingdom of Neustria and defeated Clotaire II, thereby laying his hands on a great portion of his land (600-604). At this point, however, the two brothers took up arms against each other; Theudebert II was defeated at Toul and at Tolbiac in 612. He was locked up in a monastery at the order of his grandmother Brunehaut, and assassinated with his son Mérovée.
