Both Borna and Ljudevit recognised Frankish suzerainty to begin with (partly out of gratitude for its assistance in the wars against the Avars and partly due to its sheer size), however shortly after the death of Emperor Charlemagne in 814, Ljudevit organised a fierce revolt with the aim of independence.

 Infectious virus linked to development of mental disorders
Ian Lipkin, a Columbia University authority on borna virus, called the Japanese research "elegant." Lipkin was the first to isolate the borna virus from human brain tissue, and he headed the lab that deciphered the virus's genome.
Nevertheless, Lipkin said, more research is needed to prove that the borna virus actually causes such conditions, rather than just being an innocent bystander, and few scientists believe that borna virus alone could cause mental illness.
