		The Frankish realm underwent many partitions and repartitions, since the Franks divided their property among surviving sons, and lacking a broad sense of a res publica, they conceived of the realm as a large extent of private property.
		The Frankish area expanded further under Clovis' sons, eventually covering most of present-day France, but including areas east of the Rhine river as well, such as Alamannia (today's southwestern Germany) and Thuringia (from 531).
		In each Frankish kingdom the Mayor of the Palace served as the chief officer of state.

	Franks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The conversion to Christianity of the pagan Frankish king Clovis was a crucial event in the history of Europe.
		This campaign expanded the practice of non-Roman Christian rulers undertaking the conversion of their neighbours by armed force; Frankish Catholic missionaries, along with others from Ireland and Anglo-Saxon England, had entered Saxon lands since the mid-8th century, resulting in increasing conflict with the Saxons, who resisted the missionary efforts and parallel military incursions.
		Because the Frankish kingdom dominated Western Europe for centuries, terms derived from "Frank" were used by many in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and beyond as a synonym for Roman Christians (e.g., al-Faranj in Arabic, Feringhee or Feringhi in Hindustani, Falangji in Chinese, and Frangos in Greek).

		According to the Frankish historian Gregory of Tours, it was Clovis' conquest of the Kingdom of Syagrius in 486 that marked the beginning of the Salian conquest of Gaul and the Frankish hegemony in the West.
		Frankish control over Gaul and Germany was still tenuous, and the dukes appointed over the Alemans, Leuthari and Butilin (Bucelin) showed that they had their own plans.
		At the disastrous battle of Roncevaux, the rear of the Frankish column was ambushed and annihilated.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Franks
		Established at Paris, Clovis governed this kingdom by virtue of an agreement concluded with the bishops of Gaul, according to which natives and barbarians were to be on terms of equality, and all cause of friction between the two races was removed when, in 496, the king was converted to Catholicism.
		During the minority of the Frankish kings he acquired steadily greater importance until he came to share the royal prerogative, and eventually reached the exalted position of prime minister to the sovereign.
		Finally the Carolingians had the merit and the satisfaction (for it was both) of re- establishing unity in the Frankish monarchy which had been so frequently divided; from 687 to 843, that is, for over a century and a half, all the Franks were united under the same government.

		By Frankish logic this meant that if the East Romans became heretics, this would be proof that they had given up Roman nationality and that their empire was no longer Romania.
		Frankish occupation of Papal Romania and Arab pressure from the South had put a tremendous strain on the papacy, and gave rise to a pro-Frankish party of Romans who managed to elect Nicholas I (858-867) as pope.
		That a Frankish candidate for the Papacy was being prepared for the succession of John XV was perhaps already decided upon and known by key Frankish leaders.

	The Franks
		Frankish kings are mentioned but none of these seems to have ruled effectively or for long, ambitious rulers preferring a more lucrative role in the service of the Empire.
		Frankish expansion was more a matter of conquest than colonisation and though some Franks did settle in northern Gaul, there was little upheaval of the native population.
		The power of the Frankish rulers rested primarily, however, on the Frankish army, and an important motive in their conquests was the need to win booty, land and revenues with which to reward (and thus maintain) the warriors' loyalty.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Germany
		It was not until after the fall of the Western Empire that a great Frankish kingdom became possible and the Franks, no longer held in check by the Roman Empire, were able to draw together the tribes of the old Teutonic stock and to lay the foundation of a German empire.
		Thus the Frankish king was gradually transformed from a lord of the land and people to a feudal lord over the beneficiaries directly and indirectly dependent upon him by feudal tenure.
		Theoretically his rule extended over the West Frankish Kingdom, but the sway of his son, Louis the Child (899-911), the last descendant of the male line of the German Carlovingians, was limited entirely to the East Frankish Kingdom.

	FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 3
		Up to this time, the Filioque was a Frankish political weapon which had not yet become a theological controversy because the Romans hopefully believed that the Papacy could dissuade the Franks from their doctrinal dead-end approach.
		Frankish) Christendom ever since has considered the greatest Father of the Patristic period, but also because the Franks and the other Germanic peoples are, by the very nature of their birth, a noble race superior to the Romans, "Greeks" (East Romans), and Slavs.
		Because the Frankish Filioque presupposes the identity of uncreated divine essence and energy, and because participation in the divine essence is impossible, the Latin tradition was led automatically into accepting communicated grace as created, leading to its objectification and magical priestly manipulation.

		Ever since the Frankish convertian to Christianity under Clovis (496 A.D.) the Frisians had become their major antagonists, as a result the Frankish texts had become colored for political and religious reasons.
		There are two reasons for this: The Franks were still in internal division, as to whom was to be the heir of the Frankish empire Clovis built, and Eadgils let bishop Wilfried (a pawn of Rome and the Franks) preach Christianity freely in the Frisian regions.
		He is the defender of the Frisian freedom against the invading Frankish armies and against the Church of Rome.

		The Merovingians had a poor sense of government and administration, and the Frankish practice of dividing the kingdom equally among the king's sons was their greatest liablity in their attempt to create a unified Frankish state.
		The Slavs and the Avars posed a threat on the northeastern frontier, the Lombards on the southeastern frontier and the Muslims on the southwestern frontier.
		The Frankish kings, however, were dependent upon the aristocracy to help them govern the kingdom, and with time, the Merovingian king became only a figurehead.
