Childebert the Adopted
When King Sigebert III died in 656, Grimoald had Sigebert's son Dagobert II shorn of hair and packed off to an Irish monastery and then proclaimed his own son, Childebert the Adopted, king of Austrasia.
Grimoald, his son, and his brother-in-law Ansegisel were finally seized and turned over to the king of Neustria, Clovis II, who had them killed.
The family reappeared in politics with the rise of Ansegisel's son, Pepin II of Herstal.
