'Theuderic IV' (or 'Theuderich', 'Theoderic', or 'Theodoric'; in
French, ''Thierry'') was the
Merovingian King of the Franks from
721 until his death in
737. He was the son of king
Dagobert III.
During his reign, his realm was controlled by the
mayor of the palace,
Charles Martel.
After his death, the Frankish throne remained vacant for seven years, until
Pepin the Short arranged for
Childeric III, the last Merovingian king, to succeed him.
