Dagobert I was the Merovingian king under whose reign the Salic law was revised and promulgated in its actual form, one hundred years after the establishment of the French monarchy. His royal authority extended to the codification of legal traditions that would shape Frankish society for generations.
Description
A Merovingian king with fair skin, light brown hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears royal Frankish garments with gold embroidery and a crown, with the dignified bearing of medieval royalty. His presence suggests the authority of a lawgiver.
