EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts Dagobert I, the esteemed King of the Franks from 605 to 639 AD. Born as the eldest son of Chlotar II, Dagobert I ascended the throne at a young age following the division of his father's kingdom. His reign is marked by significant achievements that shaped the history of France. Dagobert I is best known for moving the Frankish capital from Metz to Paris, transforming the city into a thriving center of political and cultural power. This decision proved to be a pivotal moment in French history, as Paris would later become the heart of the French monarchy and the city we know today. Dagobert I was a devout Christian ruler who sought to maintain peace and stability within his kingdom. He was a just and wise king, renowned for his fairness and his commitment to upholding the law. Under his rule, the Frankish kingdom flourished, and the arts and sciences experienced a renaissance. The image of Dagobert I, shown here in regal attire, exudes an air of authority and strength. His expression conveys a sense of determination and focus, reflecting the challenges he faced during his reign. Surrounded by his courtiers, Dagobert I stands as a symbol of the power and prestige of the Frankish monarchy during this critical period in European history. This print, with its rich detail and historical significance, offers a captivating glimpse into the life and legacy of Dagobert I, the King of the Franks who transformed Paris into a capital city and left an indelible mark on French history.
