Clovis IV (sometimes Clovis III if the other Clovis III is considered a usurper) (682-695) , son of Theuderic III, was the sole king of the Franks from 691 until his death.

Although Clovis IV is called "King of the Franks", he was really a puppet—a roi fainéant—of Pepin II, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. He assumed the throne at the age of nine and died when he was only thirteen.
