Ebroin was a prominent political figure in the 7th century, serving as the mayor of the palace in the Frankish kingdom of Neustria. He played a significant role in the power struggles of the time, particularly during the reign of King Clotaire III. Ebroin was known for his ability to manipulate the political landscape, often using alliances and rivalries to strengthen his position. His tenure was marked by conflict, including battles against the rival faction led by Wulfoald. Ebroin's influence waned after his defeat in 680, leading to his eventual downfall. His legacy reflects the complexities of Frankish politics during the early medieval period.
