		On his deathbed, Conrad persuaded Eberhard to forego the German crown for himself and to urge the electors of the Empire to choose Henry the Fowler (Henry I, duke of Saxony), as his successor at the Reichstag, which was held in 919 in Fritzlar.
		With Henry preferring to allow the five original stem duchies that made up the Holy Roman Empire (Franconia, Swabia, Bavaria, Saxony, and later Lorraine) to rule rather independently, Eberhard was able to exercise power in Franconia almost as an independent ruler.
		Opposing Henry's son, King Otto I in 938, Eberhard was killed in 939 at the Battle of Andernach, and his duchy became a direct Imperial possession from 939 to 1024.

	Franconia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The geographical notion of Franconia must be understood as encompassing the entire Frankish region east of Lotharingia, without division or extension.
		Traditionally a division between East Franconia and Rhenish Franconia has often been accepted, but this division is relatively meaningless, since the configurations which did arise formed territorially, not through any conscious division of the larger unit.
		It is possible that the ducal claim of the bishop of Würzburg rested on the understanding that no secular prince might hold ducal office in Franconia, owing to the circumstances of the abolishment of the Franconian duchy in 938.

	Vikings and Feudal Europe 900-1095 by Sanderson Beck
		Franconia suffered from the family feud between the Babenbergs and the Conradins.
		Vassalage was demonstrated at his coronation banquet when he was served by Gilbert of Lotharingia as chamberlain, Eberhard of Franconia as steward, Hermann of Swabia as cupbearer, and Arnulf of Bavaria as marshal.
		Franconia's Duke Eberhard was not treated with respect by the Saxon Brunning; so this Eberhard had his town of Hellmern burned, and many were killed.

		In 918 king Conrad I of the East-Franconian Empire, and duke of Franconia, died and recommended Henry as his successor as king, despite the fact that they had been at odds with each other from 912 to 915 over the title to lands in Thuringia.
		Conrad's choice was conveyed by duke Eberhard III of Franconia, Conrad's bother and successor, to the assembled Franconian and Saxon nobles at the Reichstag of Fritzlar in 919, which duly elected Henry to be king.
		Henry was the only king of his time not to be anointed by a high church official, apparently because he did not wish to be a king by the church's but by the people's acclaim.

		A well known commander in Franconia, this noble from the dark forests of Franconian Thuringia is noted for his achievements on the field of battle — men will acknowledge his skill, bravery, and charisma readily when asked.
		Younger brother of the Duke of Bavaria, Eberhard is not a man to be trifled with.
		“Eberhard” means “courage of a wild boar,” and few men have any doubt of that — he is viewed as the grim war leader in contrast to the reputation of Arnulf as a canny, clever, ruthless, but ultimately somewhat timid lord.

		Boldly developing the policies that his father had begun, Otto brought the Middle Kingdom of the Carolingian Lothair I (see Verdun, Treaty of), including Italy, Burgundy, and Lotharingia, under German influence and broke the independence of the duchies.
		The rebellions of Otto's brother, Henry, and of Duke Eberhard of Franconia were ended by the battle of Andernach (939) and Henry's submission (941).
		King Louis IV of France, hoping to gain Lotharingia, had assisted the rebels, and Otto campaigned against him (940) with Hugh the Great; in 942, however, Otto and Louis reached an agreement, and Otto helped Louis to defeat Hugh (950).

	Bavaria GenWeb - Mittelfranken
		As a result of the rebellion of Duke Eberhard, King Otto I seized the duchy in 939 and partitioned it; vast territories passed to the loyal clergy, notably to the bishops of Würzburg and Bamberg and to the abbot of Fulda.
		Eastern Franconia, which Emperor Henry V had awarded to his nephew Conrad of Hohenstaufen in 1115, came increasingly under the control of the bishops of Würzburg, who were given legal title by Emperor Frederick I in 1168.
		The title of duke of Franconia fell into disuse until it was again assumed (15th cent.) by the bishops of Würzburg, who continued to use it until their bishopric was secularized at the beginning of the 19th cent.
