Chararic was a Frankish king from sometime before 486 until his death sometime after 507. The primary source for his career is Gregory of Tours. Clovis I had asked Chararic for assistance in his war against Syagrius in 486, but Chararic held back, standing off to the side and awaiting the outcome before choosing whom he would support. When Clovis finally turned against Chararic, he trapped and captured him and his son. They were imprisoned and tonsured; Chararic was ordained a priest and his son a deacon. According to Gregory, when Chararic complained to his son of their dishonour, his son replied with a remark suggesting that they allow their hair to grow long. This conversation was reported to Clovis, who consequently had them killed and annexed their kingdom and treasure.

  • Chararic was a Frankish king from sometime before 486 until his death sometime after 507. The primary source for his career is Gregory of Tours. Clovis I had asked Chararic for assistance in his war against Syagrius in 486, but Chararic held back, standing off to the side and awaiting the outcome before choosing whom he would support. When Clovis finally turned against Chararic, he trapped and captured him and his son. They were imprisoned and tonsured; Chararic was ordained a priest and his son a deacon. According to Gregory, when Chararic complained to his son of their dishonour, his son replied with a remark suggesting that they allow their hair to grow long. This conversation was reported to Clovis, who consequently had them killed and annexed their kingdom and treasure. Ian Wood notes it is surprising that Clovis waited over twenty years to deal with his rivals like Chararic, writing, "Clovis ought to have eradicated Frankish opposition earlier in his reign." However, the fact that he had Chararic tonsured clearly points to some time after Clovis' own conversion to Christianity, which Wood dates to soon after Clovis' victory over the Alemanni which was officially done in 496 A.D. Wood concludes, "If Gregory's ordering of events here is right, and there are no means of testing this part of his account, then the last years of Clovis' reign were concerned with the internal power politics of the Franks." Other Frankish kings Clovis removed from power at this time, according to Gregory of Tours, include Ragnachar, who had supported Clovis against Syagrius, and Ragnachar's two brothers. Before he deposed Chararic, Clovis had persuaded Chlodoric of Strassburg to assassinate his father Sigismund the lame, then had Chlodoric killed. After all these murders Gregory tells us that Clovis lamented that he was left with no family, implying that amongst these casualties were close relatives. (en)

Toen Clovis dit ter ore kwam, namelijk dat ze hem dreigden hun haar weer te laten groeien en hem te doden, gaf hij bevel hen te onthoofden. Na hun dood maakte hij zich meester van hun schatten, hun onderdanen en hun rijk. In die periode ging Clovis driest en meedogenloos te werk. Hij trok vanaf Soissons naar het oosten en het noorden tot aan de Rijn, en vernietigde alle Frankische stammenvorsten. Ze moesten zich onderwerpen aan hem. Alle Salische en Ripuarische Frankenvorsten werden gedood in de strijd of gevangengenomen, kaalgeschoren en in een klooster verbannen. Onthaard worden was voor een vorst in die tijd een schande en een grote vernedering. De lange haren en de baard, droegen bij tot hun koninklijke waardigheid. Alleen de prinsen en koningen mochten hun haar lang en los, tot op de schouders dragen. De koning droeg altijd een baard. De "gewone" Franken in die tijd, droegen hun haren in vlechten of in een paardenstaart. (nl)
