This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((short description|8th-century Frankish nobleman; mayor of the palace of Neustria and Burgundy))
((Refimprove|date=January 2023))

'''Ragenfrid''' (also '''Ragenfred''', '''Raganfrid''', or '''Ragamfred''') (died 731) was the [[mayor of the palace]] of [[Neustria]] and [[Kingdom of Burgundy|Burgundy]] from 715, when he filled the vacuum in Neustria caused by the death of [[Pepin of Heristal]], until 718, when [[Charles Martel]] finally established himself over the whole [[Franks|Frankish]] kingdom.

==Life==
His original centre of power was the [[Véxin]]. The Neustrian nobles named Ragenfrid mayor of the palace<ref name=Wright>[https://books.google.com/books?id=XstBAAAAcAAJ&dq=Ragenfrid&pg=PA88 Wright, Thomas. ''The History of France'', Volume 1, London Print. and Publishing Company, 1856, p. 87]</ref> in opposition to [[Theudoald]], grandson and heir of Pepin, and his grandmother [[Plectrude]], but he was ignored by both Plectrude and Charles.

They allied with Dagobert's old enemy, Duke [[Radbod, King of the Frisians|Radbod]] of [[Frisia]],
allied with Ragenfrid in a campaign against the Austrasians. On 26 September 715, Ragenfrid engaged in battle with Theudoald's forces at the [[Battle of Compiègne]], and defeated them, sending Theudoald fleeing back to his grandmother Plectrude in Cologne.<ref name=Wright/>  

In 716, Ragenfrid and Dagobert's successor, [[Chilperic II]], fought deep into the heartland of Peppinid power: the mid-Meuse and [[Ardennes]]. Ragenfrid and Radbod converged on [[Battle of Cologne|Cologne]], where Pepin's son, [[Charles Martel]] he had been besieging Plectrude and Theudoald. The Frisians held off Charles, who retreated to the [[Eifel]] mountains to regroup. Chilperic and Ragenfrid then besieged Plectrude who was forced to acknowledged Chilperic as king, surrender a substantial portion of the Austrasian treasury, and abandoned her grandson's claim to the mayoralty.<ref name=Wright/> The Neustrians then withdrew. 
((Battles of the Frankish Civil War of 715-718))

By April 716, having rallied his supporters, Charles returned and pursued Chilperic and Ragenfrid, and defeated them at the [[Battle of Amblève]], recovering much of his father's treasure.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03629a.htm Kurth, Godefroid. "Charles Martel." The Catholic Encyclopedia] Vol. 3. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1908] ((PD-notice))</ref> 

After Amblève, King Chilperic and Ragenfrid returned in defeat to Neustria. Instead of following them immediately, took the next several months gathering more men.<ref name=Costambeys>[https://books.google.com/books?id=OkSG3X-M80oC&dq=Charles+Martel+%2B+Battle+of+Soissons+%28718%29&pg=PA43 Costambeys, Marios, Innes, Matthew, and MacLean, Simon. ''The Carolingian World'', Cambridge University Press, 2011]</ref> Both sides spent the winter in preparations.

On 21 March 717, Martel dealt a serious blow to the Neustrians at the [[Battle of Vincy]]. The King and Ragenfrid fled to Paris, with Charles following, but as he was not yet prepared to hold the city, he turned back to deal with Plectrude and Cologne. Plectrude surrendered the city and was allowed to retire to a convent. Her grandson, Theudoald, lived under his uncle's protection until Martel's death in 741. 

In 718 Ragenfrid and Chilperic allied with [[Odo the Great]], [[duke of Aquitaine]] independent since 715. French historian [[Pierre Riché]] suggests that he may have been offered recognition as king of Aquitaine.<ref>[[Pierre Riché]], ''The Carolingians: A Family who forged Europe'', p. 35.</ref> The allies were defeated at the [[Battle of Soissons (718)|Battle of Soissons]]. Chilperic and Odo fled south; Ragenfrid, now decisively out of power, went to [[Angers]] with remains of the Neustrian army. When [[Paris]] and the [[Loire Valley]] were taken and Odo gave up Chilperic, who Charles finally accepted in 719, Ragenfrid then gave himself up and, deprived of his office, left only with lands in [[County of Anjou|Anjou]].

In 724, the Neustrians rebelled under Ragenfrid, who defended Angers so well, that Charles decided to treat with him. Ragenfrid was allowed to keep his county for life, on condition that he give his son as hostage to ensure his conduct. Ragenfrid lived until 731.

The military defeats of the Neustrian army, under the leadership of Ragenfrid, at the Amblève, Vinchy and Soissons marked the shift in the balance of power from Neustria to Austrasia. From then on the Carolingians (the descendants of Charles Martel) would rule the whole of the Frankish kingdom from their heartland around the mid-Meuse, namely Herstal and later Aachen with Charlemagne.
