		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.

	Encyclopedia: Franconia
		Franconia, east of the Rhine (with the cities of Mainz, Speyer and Worms on the west bank), was part of the Eastern Frankish kingdom, Austrasia.
		Rhenish Franconia (Rheinfranken), which gave the empire the Franconian or Salian dynasty of Emperors (1024â“1125; Conrad II, Henry III, Henry IV and Henry V), was virtually an empty title held by the Ottonian emperors until 1024, when Conrad, the Salian count of Speyer and of Worms, became emperor.
		In 1115 Emperor Henry V awarded the territory of Eastern Franconia (Ostfranken) to his nephew Conrad of Hohenstaufen, who used the title "Duke of Franconia"; as the Hohenstaufen were increasingly preoccupied in Sicily, however, it came increasingly under the control of the bishops of WÃ¼rzburg, whose rights were formalized in 1168.

		The districts of Lower Bavaria, Upper Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate are almost wholly Roman Catholic, while in the Rhine Palatinate, Upper Franconia, and especially Middle Franconia, the prepOnderance is on the side of the Protestants.
		In Franconia are numerous paper-mills, and the manufacture of wooden toys is largely carried on in the forest districts of Upper Bavaria.
		The recovery of the Upper Palatinate made Bavaria compact; the acquisition of the electoral vote made it influential; and the duchy was able to play a part in European politics which intestine strife had rendered impossible for the past four hundred years.

	Peasants in Franconia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Peasants in Franconia During the first half of the nineteenth century, Franconia was still very much an agricultural society.
		In lower Franconia, which lagged behind middle and upper Franconia in its economic development, some 75% of the population were to some degree dependent on agriculture for their livelihood in 1852: 28% were full-time farmers, 27% day laborers, and another 20% combined agriculture with a craft.
		In the mountainous areas of upper Franconia and on the sandy plains around Nürnburg, the peasantry was worse off then in lower Franconia and quite prepared to take matters into their own hands.

		Upper Franconia has created something truly wonderful for itself and for its visitors: a cycle route network of six circular routes, all carefully planned by experts.
		The landscape of Upper Franconia is dominated by several ranges of hills, yet equally typical are the undulating plateaus, the many rivers, including the Main, deeply carved river valleys and impressive architecture.
		And, possibly of even greater interest to the typical cyclist, Upper Franconia is also the land of independent breweries and country inns, offering ideal opportunities to stop and enjoy local specialities and a hearty meal.

	Franconia Formation
		Description: In Indiana the Franconia Formation is recognized in the subsurface in the northwestern part of the state (Becker, Hreha, and Dawson, 1978) only where the underlying Ironton Sandstone or the combined Ironton and Galesville Sandstones are recognized.
		The Franconia becomes more dolomitic and thinner eastward and southward and laterally grades entirely into the upper part of the Davis Formation or into the lower part of the Potosi Dolomite along an arbitrary nomenclatural cutoff in central northern and western Indiana.
		Correlation: The Franconia Formation is recognized by the one name in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, but in Michigan only the upper Franconia correlates with the Franconia of Indiana.

		Bayreuth may be synonymous with Richard Wagner, but the city in Bavaria’s Upper Franconia region has much more to offer than just the music of the legendary composer.
		Away from the Green Hill, upon which the Opera House is located and the scene of Siegfried, Parsifal and the rest of Wagner’s heroes, the city’s rococo parks, fountains, artificial grottos and tree-lined arcades contrast perfectly with the simple grace of Bayreuth's historic houses and public buildings.
		The capital of Upper Franconia, the city lies some 80 kilometers northeast of Nuremberg and enjoys a reputation as one of the great cultural centers of Europe.
