Of course, this will cause massive flooding, earthquakes, and general mayhem. All because the earth is slightly tilted, averaging about 23.5 degrees!

| | December 23, 679 The date that Dagobert II, a Merovingian King was murdered.

The church leaders, unhappy with Dagobert's apparent policy of religious tolerance in his kingdom, located in the south of France, allegedly got him out of the way to best serve their own interests. A predecessor of Dagobert, Clovis, had an alliance with the Catholic church, so it is possible that church leaders saw Dagobert's actions as a betrayal of what was considered a long standing policy of pro-Catholic reforms. |
