Did you know that the barbarian tribe known as the Franks were the founders of present-day France?
After assimilating with the Romans in the imperial province of Gaul, the Franks established a unified dominion under King Clovis in the late 5th and early 6th centuries.
Under Clovis's successors, the Frankish kingdom fractured. Warring factions of Franks, under the leadership of the royal descendants of Clovis, imprisoned or more often killed each other. They forced the luckiest of their rivals into monasteries and removed potential royal wives by exiling them to convents.
The several kings of France not only fought each other but also fought off barbarian and Christian invaders. Their various domains were under continuous threat from warlike ethnic groups who pushed into Frankish territories from the west and south. It was not until the rise of a military genius by the name of Charles Martel in the 8th century that the Franks were able to recreate the unified country that Clovis had established.
This history of the Franks is peppered with assassinations, marriages for political alliance, deception, and intrigue. Battles fought between contending Frankish royal families and against foreign invaders involved strategies and tactics that would form the basis of subsequent knightly militarism in the Middle Ages.
The Franks were both a nasty lot of violent warmongers and generous patrons of the Christian church. They exhibited highly civilized behavior, such as codifying laws and founding monasteries. On the other hand, the kings, their wives, their children, and their aristocratic minions were in a constant struggle to maintain authority. Power was achieved at times through political maneuvering but most often through the simple means of murder.
In this book, you will learn:
Where the Franks came from before they moved into Roman Gaul
How the Franks, through military skill and cunning, managed to acquire power
How Clovis created a unified kingdom and why it dissolved in family squabbles
The origin of Christian saints that are venerated today in France
How an Irish monk founded a new kind of monasticism in France
How the Franks under in-fighting royal families managed to keep France safe from foreign invaders
How the great military leader Charles Martel achieved success in unifying France
