Roi fainéant literally do-nothing king and so presumptively lazy king is a French term primarily used to refer to the later kings of the Merovingian dynasty after they seemed to have lost their initial energy. They were considered and portrayed useless by Carolingian kings and even early modern historians though current historical opinion is more nuanced. Sigebert III is sometimes accredited the first roi fainéant of the Merovingian dynasty.
