Mr. Pelletan's rascal son Bébert son got another F for playing in class. His punishment is an essay on the Merovingian king Dagobert. All they know is he had eight wives and reunited Francia.

The king's right hand, archbishop Eloi, the later patrons saint of carpentry, is portrayed as an inventor.
