Wikipedia states that: "The identity of his parents is uncertain, though he is believed by some to be the son of King Charibert I of Paris."

Is there any more provenance that King Charibert I of Paris is the father of Charibert of Neustria. The given names are the same, si it's a possibility, however, are we justified in including him in the lineage of such flimsy evidence?

MedLands has CHARIBERT King of the Franks, but no son of the same name. Four wives, three daughters (Berta, Berthefledis, and Clotilde) and one son who died in infancy, name, if any , not recorded.

As to Charibert of Neustria, there is only this: "According to Europäische Stammtafeln[514], Chrodbert [I] and his brothers were sons of "Charibert nobilis in Neustria †635". No reference has been found to this person in any of the primary sources so far consulted and it has been decided to omit him until a positive identification can be made." https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANKSMaiordomi.htm

NOTE: Europäische Stammtafeln is an extensive compilation of European family trees, and as such as (un)reliable as any other family trees.

When in doubt, always check NedLands https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CONTENTS.htm

Seems there is no conclusive evidence that @Charibert of Neustria is the son of @Charibert, King of the Franks. I have seen this lineage on geni.com by various circuitous routes. Is it justified to keep the suggestion that @Charibert of Neustria is the son of @Charibert, King of the Franks, or should it be deleted? Lineages should be based on incontrovertible evidence.
