Sigebert II of Austrasia and Burgundy - Definition

Sigebert II (601-613), was king of Burgundy and Austrasia (613). Bastard son of Theuderic II, he succeeded his father in 613; but the Mayor of the Palace feared that at his young age he would fall under the influence of his great-grandmother Brunhilda. Instead he left him in the custody of Clotaire II, the king of Neustria, who had him put to death shortly afterwards. The kingdom of Sigebert II was thus reattached to Neustria.
