What is Sigebert IV de Franks?
'''Sigebert IV Plantard''' and '''Sigebert IV de Raze''' (c. [[671]] – [[758]]) is a fictional prince of the [[Franks]]. He is supposed to be the son of king [[Dagobert II]] and Gesela de Raze, a Visigothic princess. According to the pseudohistorical Dossiers Secrets d'Henri Lobineau alone, he was had [[Visigoths|Visigothic]] and [[Basque people|Basque]] lineage. In [[676]], his father [[Dagobert II]] was murdered. Sigebert was moved to Raze, in Aquitaine, by his sister, and took the name of Plantard. At this time, Aquitaine was under the Visigoth and Basque influence. In [[758]] he was dead, aged 88. In some accounts, he was an ancestor of [[Geoffrey de Bouillon]]. In fact, the story of Sigebert IV is only a hoax created by [[Pierre Plantard]], who claimed to be a descendant of Sigebert IV. Asked in 1993 by French Justice, he admitted the hoax.
