Administrator of the Merovingian royal court
from 439 to 751 century. After the death of
Dagobert I (605-39) and the subsequent
decline of the Merovingian kings, holders of
this office became, in effect, rulers of the
kingdom and established a hereditary
succession until 751, when the Carolingian
line began with Pepin the Short.
