Merovingian comites edit

I searched my (chronicle and secondary, but not charter) sources reasonably extensively and could find no evidence for any other counts of Orléans during the Merovingian period besides Willachar. I wanted to suggest that perhaps, as the capital and chief city of Burgundy, the comital authority was primarily exercised directly by kings or their mayors, but I have found no evidence of this practice.
