King Dagobert II, effectively the last of the Merovingian kings of France, is the figure that the Ordo Lapsit Exillis has chosen as its mascot, and he is the namesake of the OLE’s official journal, Dagobert’s Revenge Magazine. His life exemplifies our ideals, and his death represents the defeat of those ideals that we and our ideological predecessors have suffered throughout the centuries. The concept of avenging his murder is, for us, an allegory of the struggle we are engaged in for the revival of Western civilization’s ancient spiritual traditions. Furthermore, Dagobert embodies the archetype of the Lord of the Earth, the symbolic Grand Monarch spoken of in occult lore who is destined to one day rule the nations in a holy empire built upon Hermetic principles.

Dagobert’s entire life, as historically recorded, is mythological and archetypal. His name betrays the divine origins of his bloodline. Dagobert comes, of course, from Dagon. Now the word Bert, as the author L.A. Waddell has shown, has its roots in the word Bara, or Para, or Anglicized, Pharaoh, a Priest-King of the Temple (or House.) So Dagobert’s name literally means Priest-King of the House of Dagon. Interestingly, a rarely-found but nonetheless authentic variation on Dagobert’s name was Dragobert , emphasizing his lineage from the beast of the deep waters, the dragon Leviathan.

Dagobert made use of the myth of the returning king early on in life. His father had been assassinated when he was 5 years old, and young Dagobert was kidnapped by then Palace Mayor Grimoald, who tried to put his own son on the throne. He was saved from death, but an elaborate ruse was laid out to make people think otherwise. Even his own mother believed he was dead, and allowed his father’s assassins to take over, placing Grimoald’s son on the throne. Dagobert was exiled to Ireland, where he lay in wait for the opportunity to reclaim his father’s throne. This opportunity showed itself in the year 671, when he married Giselle de Razes, daughter of the count of Razes and niece of the king of the Visigoths, allying the Merovingian house with the Visigothic royal house. This had the potential for creating a united empire that would have covered most of what is now modern France.

This marriage was celebrated at the Church of St. Madeleine in Rhedae, the same spot where Sauniere’s Church of St. Madeleine at Rennes-le-Chateau now rests. There is an existing rumor that Dagobert found something there, a clue which lead him to a treasure buried in the nearby Montsegur, and this treasure financed what was about to come. This was the reconquest of the Aquitaine and the throne of the Frankish kingdom. As Baigent, et. al write in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, At once he set about asserting and consolidating his authority, taming the anarchy that prevailed throughout Austrasia and reestablishing order. The fallen king had risen from his ashes, born anew as Dagobert II, and had come to once more establish firm rule and equilibrium in his country. The similarities to the Parzival/Grail story don’t even need to be repeated.

Sadly, Dagobert II would himself play the role of the fallen king just a few years later, in 679, and the circumstances were decidedly strange. You see, since the time of the Merovingian King Clovis I, the Merovingian Kings had been under a pact with the Vatican, in which they had pledged their allegiance to the Mother Church in exchange for Papal backing of the their united Empire of Austrasia. They would forever hold the title of New Constantine, a title that would later morph into Holy Roman Emperor.

But that allegiance on the part of the Merovingians towards the Church began to wear thin after a while. Obviously, given their infernal and divine origin, their spiritual bent was slightly different from that of organized Christianity. In addition, as direct descendants of the historical Christ himself, they would have possessed access to the secret teachings of Christ, now doubt shockingly different from the ones promoted by the Church, and reflecting more of the secret doctrine of the rebellious gods that we’ve talked about in this article.

Any public knowledge of this or the blood relationship between Christ and the Merovingians would have been disastrous for the Church. Christ would therefore be a man, with antecedents and descendants, instead of the son of God, born of a virgin concept promoted by the Church. Seeing in Dagobert a potential threat, the Roman church entered into a conspiracy with Palace Mayor Pepin the Fat.

On December 23, while on a hunting trip, Dagobert was lanced through the left eye by his own godson, supposedly on Pepin’s orders. There are many aspects to this event that appear to be mythologically significant. For one, it took place in the Forest of Woevres, long held sacred, and host to annual sacrificial bear hunts for the Goddess Diana. Indeed, this may have taken place on such a hunt. This was near the royal Merovingian residence at Stenay, a town that used to be called Satanicum. We must also consider the date itself, which was almost precisely at the beginning of the astrological period of Capricorn.

As we have mentioned, Capricorn is based on Enki, the horned sea-god that spawned the Merovingian bloodline. It is also close to the Winter Solstice, the shortest day in the year, when the Sun was said to die, mythologically, and turn black, descending into the Underworld. This Black period of the Sun is associated with the god Kronos, another horned sea-god, ruler of the underworld, and king of Atlantis who figures repeatedly in this Grail/Rennes-le-Chateau mystery. Secondly, the murder is said to take place at midday, which, as I have mentioned in another article, is an extremely significant moment in time for mystery schools of the secret doctrine, like Freemasonry.

The parchments found by Berenger Sauniere and the related poem, Le Serpent Rouge make a special mention of it. This is when the sun is highest in the sky. The fact that it was done by a family member is significant too. This is similar to the Dolorous Stroke that wounds the Fisher King in the Grail story, something which also took place at midday and was inflicted by the king’s own brother. In this story, the brother who wounds the Fisher King is himself known as the Dark Lord , and during the fight he is wounded in the left eye, precisely as Dagobert was wounded. The same thing happened to Horus in Egyptian mythology, fighting his uncle, Set. The Left Eye of Horus came to symbolize the hidden knowledge of the gods, just as the left hand path does today. Dagobert’s death appears to follow the same patterns as many other fallen kings or murdered gods whose death must be avenged. And it is meant to symbolize the concept of the lost or fallen kingdom the same way the Dolorous Stroke does in the Grail story.

Clearly, Dagobert’s death meant the end for the Merovingian kingdom. All subsequent Merovingian kings were essentially powerless, and they were officially thought to have died out with Dagobert’s grandson, Childeric III. 49 years later, Charles Martel’s grandson, Charlemagne was anointed Holy Roman Emperor. But in 872, almost 200 years after his death, Dagobert was canonized as a Saint, and the date of his death, December 23, became St. Dagobert’s Day. Write Baigent, et. al.:

The reason for Dagobert’s canonization remains unclear. According to one source it was because his relics were believed to have preserved the vicinity of Stenay against Viking raids - though this explanation begs the question, for it is not clear why the relics should have possessed such powers is the first place. Ecclesiastical authorities seem embarrassingly ignorant on the matter. They admit that Dagobert, for some reason, became the object of a fully fledged cult... But they seem utterly at a loss as to why he should have been so exalted. It is possible, of course that the Church felt guilty about its role in the king’s death.

Guilty, or afraid? For surely they knew that this Priest-King of the House of Dagon, with his divine lineage, so beloved by his people that they worship him like a god 200 years later, would of course be avenged for his treacherous murder. Surely they knew that the Merovingian bloodline didn’t die out, surviving through his son Sigisbert, and continues to jockey for the throne of France to this very day through the various royal bloodlines throughout Europe. Surely they knew that this kingdom would rise again, and that the lost king would return someday.

The seeds of his return have already been planted. France is united into the political mass that Dagobert had envisioned it to be when he united Austrasia, and the Holy Roman Empire , which the Merovingian Kings were clearly attempting to form with the help of the Vatican, has now become a reality, in the form of the European Union. During WWII and immediately afterwards, the Priory of Sion, that secret order dedicated to the Merovingian agenda, openly campaigned for a United States of Europe. They even proposed a flag, consisting of stars in a circle, that is identical to the flag used by the European Union today. (This flag was carried by a divine white horse, a symbol of Poseidon and world monarchy.)

Furthermore, the world empire of the Atlantean kings who spawned the Merovingians is closer now then it has been since the gods left the earth during the Deluge. The United Nations, a feeble example, will surely give way at some point to a united world government strong enough and glorious enough to be called an empire. The fallen kingdom of the gods is clearly returning, and the new Golden Age is upon us. This is, indeed, a glorious time to be alive.
