Page "Charles Martel" Paragraph 9
from
Wikipedia
In Spring 717, Charles returned to Neustria with an army and confirmed his supremacy with a victory at the Battle of Vincy, near Cambrai.
He chased the fleeing king and mayor to Paris, before turning back to deal with Plectrude and Cologne.
He took her city and dispersed her adherents.
However, he allowed both Plectrude and the young Theudoald to live and treated them with kindness — unusual for those times, when mercy to a former gaoler, or a potential rival, was rare.
On this success, he proclaimed Chlotar IV king of Austrasia in opposition to Chilperic and deposed the archbishop of Reims, Rigobert, replacing him with Milo, a lifelong supporter.
