	List of Frankish Kings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Frankish kingdoms were ruled by two main dynasties, the Merovingians (who established the realm) and later the Carolingians.
		The Frankish kingdom was then divided with the Treaty of Verdun in 843 among the sons of Louis the Pious.
		The history of France as recounted in the "Grandes Chroniques de France," and particularly in the personal copy produced for King Charles V between 1370 and 1380 that is the saga of the three great dynasties, the Merovingians, Carolingians, and the Capetian Rulers of France, that shaped the institutions and the frontiers of the realm.

		While in later France, the kingdom became hereditary, the kings of the later Holy Roman Empire were unable to abolish this tradition and continued to be elected until the Empire's formal end in 1806.
		On December 23 and 24, 800, Charles was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III in Rome in a ceremony that formally acknowledged the Frankish Empire to be the successor of the (Western) Roman one.

	Franks - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		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, farangi in Farsi, Feringhi in Hindustani, and Frangos in Greek).

	Neustria
		The struggle for power continued with the widow of King Chilperic I (reigned 566-584) when a bitter war was led by Queen Fredegonde of Neustria[?], mother of the new king Clotaire II (reigned 584-628).
		Finally under Dagobert I (reigned 628-637) the ongoing generational war resulted in another temporary unification but by then the authority of the warring kings began to decline as the mayors of the palace rose to prominence.
		In 687, Pepin of Heristal[?], mayor of the palace of the king of Austrasia, defeated the tenacious Neustrians at Tertry[?] and united Austrasia and Neustria.

	Franks - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The reigns of earlier Frankish chieftains—Pharamond (about 419 until about 427) and Clodio (Chlodio) (about 427 until about 447)—seem to owe more to myth than fact, and their relationship to the Merovingian line remains uncertain.
		Gregory's sources tentatively identify Merovech as king of the Franks and possibly a son of Chlodio.
		On December 23 and December 24, 800, Pope Leo III crowned Charles as Emperor in Rome in a ceremony that formally acknowledged the Frankish Empire as the successor of the (Western) Roman one.

	The Frankish kingdom

	ORB: The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies
		Early English kings, like Frankish kings and others of the period, were warlords, men whose ability to inspire fear in their enemies was the basis of their claim to rule.
		Hrothgar, the Danish king whom Beowulf came to serve, was "the best of earthly kings" because "he was the best of those who bestowed gold." A bad king was one who "[began] to hoard his treasure," who "never [parted] with gold rings." [Campbell, 54] The tie between warlord and retainer was two-way.
		The warrior followed the king in expectation of victory; and once victory was won, he expected the king to fairly and generously distribute the fruits of victory.

		Most medieval historians would argue that the existence of France proper did not begin until the advent of the Capetian Dynasty in 987, or, at the very earliest, with the establishment of the Kingdom of Western Francia at the Treaty of Verdun in 843.
		This view is somewhat problematic in layman's terms, however, in part due to the existence of centuries-old tradition that considers the beginnings of France to lie in the Merovingian Frankish kingdom established under Clovis I.
		After the July Revolution in 1830, the style "King of the French" was used instead of "King of France".

		Although quarrels and reconciliations between the three kings followed each other in quick succession, in general it may be said that Louis favoured the divorce, and Charles opposed it, while neither lost sight of the fact that Lothair had no sons to inherit his lands.
		Lothair, whose desire for the divorce was prompted by his affection for a certain Waldrada, put away Teutberga; but Hucbert took up arms on her behalf, and after she had submitted successfully to the ordeal of water, Lothair was compelled to restore her in 858.
		A synod of Frankish bishops met at Metz in 863 and confirmed this decision, but Teutberga fled to the court of Charles the Bald, and Pope Nicholas I declared against the decision of the synod.

		Reconciliation between the king and Philippe of Burgundy (1435) removed the greatest obstacle to French recovery, leading to the recapture of Paris (1436), Normandy (1450) and Guienne (1453), reducing England's foothold to a small area around Calais (lost also in 1558).
		Despite the conclusion of a Concordat between France and the Papacy (1516), granting the crown unrivalled power in senior ecclesiastical appointments, France was deeply affected by the Protestant Reformation's attempt to break the unity of Roman Catholic Europe.
		After the death of both king and cardinal, the Peace of Westphalia (1648) secured universal acceptance of Germany's political and religious fragmentation, and the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) formalised France's seizure (1642) of the Spanish territory of Roussillon after the crushing of the efemerous Catalan Republic.
