Commentary
Chilpéric Ier, né entre 525 et 527, mort entre les 20 et 28 septembre 584 à Chelles, est le deuxième roi dans la suite des rois de Soissons de la dynastie des Mérovingiens.
Il est le petit-fils de Clovis, roi des Francs, et le fils de Clotaire Ier, auquel il succède de 561 à 584, et de la reine Arnegonde. Son règne est connu grâce aux Dix livres d'Histoire, hagiographie écrite par l'évêque Grégoire de Tours, où ce dernier raconte les règnes de « bons » et de « mauvais » rois. Dans ces récits, il prône la supériorité du pouvoir spirituel (auctoritas) exercé par les évêques sur le pouvoir temporel (potestas) exercé par les rois. Pour cette raison, l'évêque de Tours s'oppose à l'autorité de Chilpéric lorsque celui-ci juge les évêques, dont la dignité serait supérieure.
À la mort de Clotaire Ier, Chilpéric hérite de la plus petite partie du royaume des Francs, dont une grande partie de l'Église est placée sous l'autorité de Sigebert Ier, son demi-frère, lequel use de son pouvoir sur les évêques des diocèses suffragants.
La division du royaume des Francs génère une compétition féroce entre les prétendants au royaume. Chilpéric reprend la guerre civile qui avait été interrompue lors de la réunification du regnum Francorum par son père, du fait qu'il n'avait pas pu obtenir Tours et Poitiers lors du partage du royaume, que son père a tenus dès 511. Le rapprochement de l'Austrasie avec les Aquitains et les Wisigoths sert également de motif à la guerre. Durant la quasi-totalité de son règne, il tente d'accroître son domaine et combat ses demi-frères. La mort de deux d'entre eux lui permet une expansion territoriale.

Chilpéric I, born between 525 and 527, died between September 20 and 28, 584 in Chelles, is the second king in the series of kings of Soissons of the Merovingian dynasty.
He is the grandson of Clovis, King of the Franks, and the son of Clotaire I, whom he succeeded from 561 to 584, and of Queen Arnegonde.. His reign is known thanks to the Ten Books of History, a hagiography written by Bishop Gregory of Tours, in which the latter recounts the reigns of \\\"good\\\" and \\\"bad\\\" kings.. In these stories, he advocates the superiority of spiritual power (auctoritas) exercised by bishops over temporal power (potestas) exercised by kings.. For this reason, the Bishop of Tours opposed the authority of Chilpéric when he judged the bishops, whose dignity was said to be superior..
On the death of Clotaire I, Chilpéric inherited the smallest part of the kingdom of the Franks, a large part of the Church of which was placed under the authority of Sigebert I, his half-brother, who used his power over the bishops of the suffragan dioceses..
The division of the Frankish kingdom generated fierce competition between the claimants to the kingdom. Chilperic resumes the civil war which had been interrupted during the reunification of the Regnum Francorum by his father, due to the fact that he had not been able to obtain Tours and Poitiers during the division of the kingdom, which his father had held since 511.. The rapprochement of Austrasia with the Aquitanians and the Visigoths also served as a motive for the war.. During almost his entire reign, he tried to increase his domain and fought his half-brothers.. The death of two of them allowed him territorial expansion.

Historical background
METALLIC SERIES OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE
This series was engraved by Thomas Bernard and is interrupted, for this author, with the token of Louis XIV. The following tokens are engraved by Nicolas Gatteaux for Louis XV, Duvivier for Louis XVI, Puymaurin and Gayrard for Louis XVII, Puymaurin and Depaulis for Louis XVIII. The series is often attributed to Jean Dassier on the faith of Forrer but he corrects his assertion in his volume VIII and confirms the archives of the Monnaie de Paris which specify that the series was commissioned by Monsieur de Launay. There are different issues, in copper or brass, of varying weights but consistent by series, the reverse dies are sometimes varied. The classification of kings is done according to ancient usage, in three successive races. We note the existence of a very rare token explaining the abbreviations that we have only seen in a brass series. The packaging of this series was in a wooden tube. It is of course very difficult to reconstruct it and it should be noted that the different tokens have very different rarities, having probably been bought piecemeal by the public, favoring the good kings. There is at least one series in silver, possibly apocryphal, completed up to Napoleon III with tokens for all successive regimes, including the Revolution and Napoleon I, see MONNAIES 28, n° 1395. This series is documented in a small book by Philippe Marinèche from whoever can acquire it, contact phmarineche@aol. com.
