List Of Frankish Kings
The Franks, Germanic peoples that invaded the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, were first led by individuals called dux, dukes and monarch, reguli. The earliest group of Franks that rose to prominence was the Salian Franks, Salian Merovingian dynasty, Merovingians, who conquered most of Roman Gaul, as well as the Gaulish territory of the Visigothic Kingdom, following the Battle of Vouillé in 507 AD. The sons of Clovis I, the first King of the Franks, conquered the Kingdom of the Burgundians, Burgundian and the Alamannia, Alamanni Kingdoms. They acquired Provence, and went on to make the peoples of the Bavarii and Thuringii their clients. The Merovingians were later replaced by the new Carolingian dynasty in the 8th century. By the late 10th century, the Carolingians themselves had been replaced throughout much of their realm by other dynasties. A timeline of Frankish rulers has been difficult to trace since the realm, according to old Germanic practice, was frequently ...

They conquered most of Gaul, defeating the Visigoths (507) and the Burgundians (534), and also extended their rule into Raetia (537). In Germania, the Alemanni, Bavarii and Saxons accepted their lordship. The Merovingian realm was the largest and most powerful of the states of western Europe following the breakup of the empire of Theodoric the Great.

Deeds Of The Bishops Of Cambrai
The ''Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai'' () is an anonymous Latin history of the diocese of Cambrai. It was commissioned around 1024 by Bishop Gerard I of Cambrai and completed shortly after his death in 1051. It is the work of two authors. Context of production In the period when the ''Deeds'' was produced, the city of Cambrai and most of the diocese of Cambrai lay within the Duchy of Lower Lotharingia, in the Kingdom of Germany in the Holy Roman Empire. (The ''Deeds'' itself frequently identifies its region as the ''regnum Lotharii'', 'kingdom of Lothair', a reference to the kingdom of Lothair II in the 9th century.) Part of the diocese, including the cities of Arras and Douai, however, lay within the County of Flanders in the Kingdom of France. Spiritually, the bishops were under the jurisdiction of the archbishop of Reims, whose ecclesiastical province was otherwise entirely within France. By the time of Gerard I, the bishop of Cambrai also exercised temporal power in the cou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fee (feudal Tenure)
A fief (; ) was a central element in medieval contracts based on feudal law. It consisted of a form of property holding or other rights granted by an overlord to a vassal, who held it in fealty or "in fee" in return for a form of feudal allegiance, services or payments. The fees were often lands, land revenue or revenue, revenue-producing real property like a watermill, held in feudal land tenure: these are typically known as fiefs or fiefdoms. However, not only land but anything of value could be held in fee, including governmental office, rights of exploitation such as hunting, fishing or felling trees, monopolies in trade, money rents and tax farms. There never existed a standard feudal system, nor did there exist only one type of fief. Over the ages, depending on the region, there was a broad variety of customs using the same basic legal principles in many variations. Terminology In ancient Rome, a "benefice" (from the Latin noun , meaning "benefit") was a gift of land () ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wulfoald
Wulfoald (died 680) was the mayor of the palace of Austrasia from 656 or 661 (depending on when his predecessor Grimoald I was removed from that office) to his death, as well as mayor of the palace of Neustria and Burgundy from 673 to 675. Wulfoald was the regent of Austrasia during the minority of Childeric II, which ended in 670. Even after Childeric achieved his majority, Wulfoald held significant power, with many historians seeing Childeric as a "puppet king". In 673, he became the mayor of the palace in Neustria, as Childeric had succeeded to the Neustrian throne. When Childeric died in 675, killed by the Neustrians, Wulfoald and his compatriots had to flee back Austrasia. Wulfoald and the nobles proclaimed Dagobert II king, but Ebroin Ebroin (died 680 or 681) was the Frankish mayor of the palace of Neustria on two occasions; firstly from 658 to his deposition in 673 and secondly from 675 to his death in 680 or 681.
