Commentary
Clotaire II, dit le Jeune, (Printemps 584 † 18 octobre 629) est roi de Neustrie de 584 à 613 et roi des Francs de 613 à 629, après la conquête du royaume d'Austrasie. Il est le fils de Chilpéric Ier, roi de Neustrie, et Frédégonde. Clotaire II fixe la résidence royale à Clichy-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine). Il possède de nombreuses résidences secondaires.
Fils de Chilpéric Ier et de Frédégonde, Clotaire II devient roi de Neustrie à l'âge de quatre mois.
Élevé en secret dans la villa royale de Vitry en Artois pour le protéger d'un éventuel assassinat, dont ses parents pensent que ses défunts frères ont été victimes, ainsi que d'ambitieux qui profiterait de sa mort pour engendrer un conflit de succession, il ne reçoit pas de nom à sa naissance ; ceci dans le but de ne pas propager d'inquiétude liée à la symbolique du nom mérovingien.
Voulant choisir un parrain en fonction de l'évolution des troubles qui agitent le royaume des Francs, son père ne le fait pas baptiser immédiatement.
En septembre 584, Chilpéric Ier est assassiné près de sa villa de Chelles, sans doute sur ordre de la reine Brunehilde, après une partie de chasse

Clotaire II, known as the Younger, (Spring 584 † October 18, 629) was king of Neustria from 584 to 613 and king of the Franks from 613 to 629, after the conquest of the kingdom of Austrasia. He is the son of Chilperic I, King of Neustria, and Fredegund. Clotaire II established the royal residence at Clichy-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine). He has many second homes.
Son of Chilperic I and Fredegund, Clotaire II became king of Neustria at the age of four months..
Raised in secret in the royal villa of Vitry in Artois to protect him from a possible assassination, of which his parents believe his deceased brothers were victims, as well as from ambitious people who would take advantage of his death to create a succession conflict, he was not given a name at birth; this was in order not to spread any concern linked to the symbolism of the Merovingian name..
Wanting to choose a godfather based on the progress of the troubles that were shaking the kingdom of the Franks, his father did not have him baptized immediately..
In September 584, Chilpéric I was assassinated near his villa in Chelles, probably on the orders of Queen Brunhilde, after a hunting trip. For the rest of his biography, see http://fr. Wikipedia. org/wiki/Clotaire_II

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.
