Notitia De Servitio Monasteriorum
The ''Notitia de servitio monasteriorum'' ("Notice of the Service of Monasteries") is a list of monasteries in the Frankish Empire and the services they owed the crown. It was compiled under Emperor Louis the Pious in 819, probably as a summation of the royal reform of the monasteries carried out following the councils of 816 and 817. It is not a complete list of the reformed monasteries: only 82 of the 104 monasteries known to have adopted the reforms are listed in the ''Notitia''.Zola (2008), 128–29. There three basic services monasteries could owe to the sovereign. ''Militia'' was military service. ''Dona'' was an annual gift, tax or service "donated" to the king. ''Orationes'' was the obligation to pray for the royal family and the state of the realm. Collectively, these were known by the technical term ''servitium regis'' ("king's service"), hence the ''servitio'' of the ''Notitia'''s title. The service of prayer, although specified in the ''Notitia'', appears to have been ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Septimania
Septimania (french: Septimanie ; oc, Septimània ) is a historical region in modern-day Southern France. It referred to the western part of the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis that passed to the control of the Visigoths in 462, when Septimania was ceded to their king, Theodoric II. The region was also variously known as Gallia, Arbuna or Narbonensis. The territory of Septimania roughly corresponds with the modern French former administrative region of Languedoc-Roussillon that merged into the new administrative region of Occitania (administrative region), Occitanie. Septimania was conquered by the Muslims in the 8th century, when it was known as Arbuna and was made part of Al-Andalus.
