		Charlemagne conquered Lombard Italy and became king of the Lombards, whose kingdom was absorbed into the Frankish Empire.

		After the death of Charlemagne, king of the Franks, in 814 and the subsequent collapse of his empire, Christian Europe was under attack and on the defensive.

		Frankish nobles maintained links with their families at home, and they built lives and careers that spanned the Mediterranean.

	Frankish Empire information - Search.com
		The Frankish Empire was the territory of the Franks, from the 5th to the 10th centuries, from 481 ruled by Clovis I of the Merovingian Dynasty, the first king of all the Franks.
		Since the term "Empire" properly applies only to times after the coronation of Charlemagne in 800, and since the unified kingdom was repeatedly split and re-united, most historians prefer to use the term Frankish Kingdoms or Frankish Realm to refer to the entirety of Frankish rule from the 5th to the 9th century.
		The term "Carolingian Empire" may be used to refer to the realm of the Franks under the dynasty of the Carolingians, but the term "Empire" applies particularly to the times after thee coronation of Charlemagne as Emperor in 800 by Pope Leo III.

	Frankish Empire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The conversion to Christianity of the pagan Frankish king Clovis was a crucial event in the history of Europe.
		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.
		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).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Charlemagne
		Primogeniture did not hold in the Frankish law of succession; the monarchy was elective, though eligibility was limited to the male members of the one privileged family.
		By Frankish custom Carloman should have aided Charles; the younger brother himself held part of Aquitaine; but he pretended that, as his dominion were unaffected by this revolt, it was no business of his.
		There the Frankish garrison had been forced to evacuate Eresburg, while the siege of Sigeburg was so unexpectedly broken up as to give occasion later to a legend of angelic intervention in favour of the Christians.

	The First Slovak State? (Spectacular Slovakia travel guide)
		The empire lasted just 80 years, and its territory was roughly divided between the present-day Slovak and Czech republics.
		By 882, the empire was at its largest, extending as far north and west as present-day Poland, incorporating much of the modern Czech Republic, and reaching as far south as the border of Bulgaria.
		The final impetus came not from the Franks but rather from a new enemy: the Magyars, who were seeking to expand their influence to the north of the Danube in direct defiance of the Franks.

	FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 1
		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.

	Franks. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		By the conquest of the First Kingdom of Burgundy, of Bavaria, of the territories of the Alemanni, the Thuringians, and the Saxons, and of the kingdom of the Lombards, the Frankish empire grew (6th–9th cent.) to include most of France, the Low Countries, Germany W of the Elbe, Austria, Switzerland, and N and central Italy.
		Under its first dynasty, the Merovingians, the empire was, for most of the time, divided into several kingdoms, notably Neustria in the west, Austrasia in the east, and Burgundy in the south.
		The height of Frankish development and power occurred under the Carolingians, who first ruled as mayors of the palace, and then, from 751, as kings of the reunited Frankish domains.

	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.

	The Dissolution of the Frankish Empire
		Unlike his father Louis wanted to preserve the unity of the Frankish Empire, his younger sons were given kingdoms of their own, but they had to acknowledge their elder brother Lothair’s overlordship as Roman emperor.
		The arrangement with the younger brother having to be vassals to the eldest brother was a clear break against the Frankish tradition and civil war between the three surviving brothers broke out when Louis the Pious died 840.
		The Civil war resulted in the treaty of Verdun in which the Frankish empire was divided into three parts, Lothair got the middle kingdom and kept the title of emperor but without overlordship over his brothers.

	Frankish Empire . Enpsychlopedia
		The Frankish Empire or Frankish realm, often just Francia or Frankia, was the territory of the Franks from the 5th to the 10th century.
		Since the term "empire" properly applies only to times after the coronation of Charlemagne as imperator in 800, and since the unified kingdom was repeatedly split and reunited, most historians prefer to refer to "Frankish kingdoms" or the "Frankish realm."
		Most historians believe the Carolingian Empire truly was founded by Charles Martel, who united all the fractions and factions of the Franks, defeated all their enemies, and incorporated most of what would become the Empire under Frankish dominion.

		Meanwhile, the former Eastern Roman empire, which we now call the Byzantine Empire, was ruled by an empress named Irene, who had deposed her son, Constantine VI, and had his eyes put out.
		The emperors of the Byzantine empire had always considered themselves to be the rightful successors to the emperors of ancient Rome, but the pope believed that Irene could not legally rule under Roman law because she was a woman, so he decided to give Charlemagne the title of emperor.

		Anyway, East Frankish priests become the main Christian missionaries in Slovakia and Moravia, although there will be also missionaries from the Byzantine Dalmatia and from Aquileia (in Italy).
		As a result, the Frankish East March ceases and is occupied by the Hungarians (907-955).
		Rastislav intended to reduce East Frankish influence, which is not a surprise, because since 846, there have been permanent tensions between Great Moravia and the East Frankish Empire - the home country of the Frankish clergy from Salzburg and Passau.

		Louis wills the Frankish Empire to his sons, but tries to ensure that the eldest gains the biggest share, in order to avoid the fragmentation of territory that so weakened the Merovingians.

	The reign of Papal Rome
		In the East, the Empire was to survive for another 1000 years, but would mutate into a Greek (Byzantine) Empire, which would gradually lose its might and eventually fall into the hands of the invading Turks.
		In the year 800, the Frankish King Charlemagne was crowned Emperor by the Pope, thus becoming a successor to the Roman Emperors of the past, only now it was felt that such a title could only be granted by the Church.
		These efforts to revive the original Roman Empire is another reason to say that the Beast bore the spirit of the Dragon (apart from the reasons regarding spiritual issues, analyzed in chapter 12).

		Even when multiple Merovingian kings ruled, the kingdom - not unlike the late Roman Empire - was conceived of as a single realm ruled collectively by several kings and the turn of events could result in the reunification of the whole realm under a single king.
		After a temporary reunification of the separate kingdoms under Clotaire I, the Frankish lands split once again in 561nd Burgundy, which had been absorbed into the Frankish realms through a combination of political marriage and force of arms.
		Martel's son, Pippin the Short succeeded his father as Mayor of the Palace of a reunited and re-erected Frankish kingdom comprised of the formerly independent parts, which Charles Martel had managed to reunite, and expand, during a war-filled lifetime.

	THE CURE OF THE NEUROBIOLOGICAL SICKNESS OF RELIGION Part 3
		The Frankish bishops encountered by St. Boniface understood apostolic succession as a magical power which allowed them to make it the property of their race and use it as the prime means of keeping their subjugated populations pacified by fear of their religious and military powers.
		This Roman attempt to put Frankish society under the rule of law and order by giving the Roman Pope the power of accepting appeals from all levels of Frankish society and even to intervene by bringing cases before his court for judgement backfired.
		The Frankish counterattack was decisive and reached its climax between 1009 and 1046 with the complete takeover of the Papacy by the Franco-Latins.

	American Thinker: The Frankish Empire Strikes Back
		Skeptics might point out that the EU is basically a revived Frankish Empire (5th-10th century CE), an attempt to unify Germany and France in an effort to control all of Europe.
		With the return of the dark side of the European psyche after fifty years, the biggest rationale for the EU is fear of its own people, who are thought to be closet Nazis by the leftist elites.
		The Frankish Empire has its own ambitions and fears, and it has always followed its self-interest first.
