He is the half-brother of Dagobert I2,3. Sometimes considered simple-minded (perhaps it was only a physical weakness)3, his father would have voluntarily removed him from power.
In December 626 in Clichy, according to the will of his father Clotaire II and a few days after the marriage of Dagobert with Gomatrude, Saint Amand celebrated the union of Caribert and Fulberte, sister-in-law of Brodulf, brother of Queen Sichilde4. It is possible that Fulberte is a character invented in the 20th or 21st century by genealogists.
In 629, pushed by Neustrian partisans grouped around his maternal uncle Brodulf, he became king of a territory established around Toulouse and made up of a few cities in southern Aquitaine and cities going as far as the Pyrenees. This kingdom was granted to him by Dagobert I, to whom he remained subject. In the manner of Dagobert I, viceroy of Austrasia, subject to Clotaire II, of Judicaël, duke or king of the Bretons, who recognized his dependence on Dagobert I, and of Chramn subject to Clotaire I, named king of Aquitaine , there is a Frankish tradition of the vice-kingdom (Unterköningtum5). This kingdom, extending as far as the Pyrenees, included several counties located between Toulouse and Bordeaux but also the cities of Cahors, Agen, Périgueux and Saintes2. It had Toulouse as its capital. This kingdom served as a buffer zone between Visigothic Septimania and the Frankish kingdom of Dagobert3. It was threatened by the incursions of the Basques or “Vascons”6.
In 630, his uncle Brodulf was assassinated by his half-brother Dagobert in Saint-Jean-de-Losne in Burgundy2.
He participated in the baptism of Sigebert, son of Dagobert and Ragnetrude, by holding him at the baptismal font7.
On April 8, 632, Caribert died after a brief reign of three years8. His body was buried in the Saint-Romain basilica, in Blaye9, which disappeared in the 17th century in favor of the construction of the citadel. The tomb was already destroyed by Protestants in the 16th century.
Posterity
He would be the father of Chilpéric (626-63310), whom Frédégaire's chronicle mentions as having died in the cradle11, probably murdered at the instigation of Dagobert I8. This death allowed Dagobert to recover territories in southern Aquitaine that he had been obliged to cede to Caribert12.
The false charter of Alaon (a 17th century forgery), fabricated by a Spanish scholar named don Juan Tamagno Salazar and attributed to Charles the Bald, invented two sons of Caribert II: Boggis and Bertrand, to whom Dagobert would have returned the kingdom of Aquitaine. Boggis would have had a son named Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, from whom the princes of Aragon would be affiliated13. This statement is not credible and the family
