The '''Battle of Vincy''' (or '''Vinchy''', now [[Les Rues-des-Vignes]]) was a battle of the Frankish civil war of 715–18 fought near [[Cambrai]], in the modern ''[[Departments of France|département]]'' of [[Nord (département)|Nord]]. It was a contest between [[Charles Martel]] and the [[Austrasia]]ns on one side and the [[king of the Franks]], [[Chilperic II]], and his [[mayor of the palace]], [[Ragenfrid]], on the other.<br />
<br />
After the [[Battle of Amblève]] in 716, King Chilperic and Ragenfrid returned defeated to [[Neustria]]. Instead of following them at once, Charles again used tactics he would use all his remaining life, in a successful military career. He took time to rally more men and prepare, before descending in full force. By the following spring, Martel had attracted enough support to confront the Neustrians.<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.

<br />
He chose where to provoke them to battle, and, at a place and time of his choosing. Charles eventually followed them and dealt them a serious blow at Vincy on 21 March 717. He pursued the fleeing king and mayor to [[Paris]].<br />
<br />
On this success, he proclaimed [[Clotaire IV]] king of Austrasia in opposition to Chilperic and deposed the [[bishop of Rheims]], [[Rigobert]], replacing him with one [[Milo, Bishop of Reims and Trier|Milo]]. The defeated Chilperic II, and his mayor of the palace, Ragenfrid, were essentially broken after this battle.<br />
