Confirmation of privileges of the Abbey of Saint-Denis issued by Chilperic II Chilperic II (c. 672 – 13 February 721) was King of the Franks from 715 until his death.

He was a son of Childeric II and his half-cousin wife, Bilichild, both of whom were assassinated, along with their eldest son Dagobert, in 675. Still an infant, Chilperic was spirited to a monastery to protect his life from the internecine feuding of his family. There, he was raised as Daniel until the death of Dagobert III in 715, when he was taken from the monastery – at the age of forty-three – and raised on the shield of the Neustrian warriors as king.
