Carolingian Empire
Carolingian Empire is a historiographical term which has been used to refer to the realm of the Franks under the Carolingian dynasty. This dynasty is seen as the founders of France and Germany. Depending on one's perspective, this Empire can be seen as the later history of the Frankish Realm or the early history of France and of the Holy Roman Empire.

Charlemagne
Charlemagne (; , meaning Charles the Great; possibly 74228 January 814) was King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans (Imperator Romanorum) from 800 to his death. He expanded the Frankish kingdom into an empire that incorporated much of Western and Central Europe. During his reign, he conquered Italy and was crowned by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800. This temporarily made him a rival of the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople. His rule is also associated with the Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of art, religion, and culture through the medium of the Catholic Church. Through his foreign conquests and internal reforms, Charlemagne helped define both Western Europe and the Middle Ages. He is numbered as Charles I in the regnal lists of France, Germany (where he is known as Karl der Große), and the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne wished to expand his kingdom by "the sword and the cross". He wished to see his kingdom grow, but he also wanted Christianity to be taught in all the kingdoms he conquered as well. Charlemagne was a Catholic and a strong believer in his faith.

Charles Martel
Charles Martel () (ca. 688 – 22 October 741), literally Charles the Hammer, was a Frankish military and political leader, who served as Mayor of the Palace under the Merovingian kings and ruled de facto during an interregnum (737–43) at the end of his life, using the title Duke and Prince of the Franks. In 739 he was offered the title of Consul by the Pope, but he refused. He is remembered for winning the Battle of Tours in 732, in which he defeated an invading Muslim army and halted northward Islamic expansion in western Europe.

Charles Oman
Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman (12 January 1860 – 23 June 1946) was a British military historian of the early 20th century. His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering. His style is an invigorating mixture of historical accuracy and emotional highlights, and it makes his narratives, though founded on deep research, often read as smoothly as fiction, especially in his History of the Peninsular War. Occasionally, his interpretations have been challenged, especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone. Paddy Griffith, among modern historians, claims the British infantry's discipline and willingness to attack were equally important.

Charles the Bald
Charles the Bald (13 June 823 – 6 October 877), Holy Roman Emperor (875–877, as Charles II) and King of West Francia (840–877, as Charles II, with the borders of his land defined by the Treaty of Verdun, 843), was the youngest son of the Emperor Louis the Pious by his second wife Judith.

Einhard
Einhard (also Eginhard or Einhart) (c. 775 – March 14, 840, in Seligenstadt, Germany) was a Frankish scholar and courtier.

Franks
The Franks ( or gens Francorum) were a West Germanic tribal confederation first attested in the third century as living north and east of the Lower Rhine River. From the third to fifth centuries some Franks raided Roman territory while other Franks joined the Roman troops in Gaul. Only the Salian Franks formed a kingdom on Roman-held soil that was acknowledged by the Romans after 357. In the climate of the collapse of imperial authority in the West, the Frankish tribes were united under the Merovingians and conquered all of Gaul except Septimania in the 6th century. The Salian political elite would be one of the most active forces in spreading Christianity over western Europe.

Merovingian dynasty
The Merovingians (also Merovings) were a Salian Frankish dynasty that came to rule the Franks in a region (known as Francia in Latin) largely corresponding to ancient Gaul from the middle of the 5th century. Their politics involved frequent civil warfare among branches of the family. During the final century of the Merovingian rule, the dynasty was increasingly pushed into a ceremonial role. The Merovingian rule was ended March 752 when Pope Zachary formally deposed Childeric III. Zachary's successor, Pope Stephen II, re-confirmed and crowned Pepin the Short in Childeric's place in 754 beginning the Carolingian monarchy and early introduction of the Holy Roman Empire.

Pepin (or Pippin) (died 24 September 768), called the Short (Pépin le Bref) or the Younger (Pippin der Jüngere), rarely the Great, was the first King of the Franks (751–68) of the Carolingian dynasty. In 741 he and his brother Carloman succeeded their father, Charles Martel, as mayors of the palace and de facto rulers of the kingdom during an interregnum (737–43). After the retirement of Carloman (747), Pepin obtained the permission of Pope Zachary to depose the last of the Merovingian kings, Childeric III, and assume the throne (751). As he was named for his grandfather, Pepin of Heristal, in turn named for his grandfather, Pepin of Landen, both mayors of the palace, Pepin the Short has sometimes been numbered Pepin III.

Vermandois
Vermandois was a French county, that appears in the Merovingian period. In the tenth century, it was organised around two castellan domains: St Quentin (Aisne) and Péronne (Somme). Pepin I of Vermandois, the earliest of its hereditary counts, was descended in direct male line from the emperor Charlemagne. More famous was his grandson Herbert II (902–943), a man absolutely devoid of scruples, who considerably increased the territorial power of the house of Vermandois, and kept the lawful king of France, the unlucky Charles the Simple, prisoner for six years. Herbert II was son of Herbert I, lord of Péronne and St Quentin, who was killed in 902 by an assassin in the pay of Baldwin II, Count of Flanders. His successors, Albert I, Herbert III, Albert II, Otto and Herbert IV, were not as historically significant.

Luis Ponce Visitor from Chile We dont know very much about this bible in our part of the world, especially in Chile, and they tell us this display is rare. So, thank God we had the chance to see it and learn about it on this trip to Rome. Marco Cardinali Delegate of External Affairs, Saint Paul Outside the Wall For the first time in its history, and in the history of the Church, this particular Bible has been put on display, so that visitors can come see it in its splendor. Marco Cardinali is one of the few people whos touched and studied the bible in person. Though on display its fixed on one page, he shed some light on what the rest of pages look like. Marco Cardinali Delegate of External Affairs, Saint Paul Outside the Wall The perfection and beauty of the characters is incredible. The way its written is phenomenal. After 1200 years it looks like it was made yesterday. The Carolingian Bible was commissioned by Charles the Younger, King of the Franks, who gave it to Pope John VIII in the 9th century. Years later, in order to protect the Bible from barbarian attacks against Rome, it was housed here in St. Paul Outside the Wall and has been here ever since, still boasting its timeless splendor. RSS

After seeing a Nick Woolsey instructional vid on how to do the triquetra the other day, I discovered a figure I really dug under the wikipedia entry for the word triquetra (en.wikipedia.org called a Carolingian Cross, which essentially amounts to a compound interlacing triquetra. I've spent a good portion of the week dissecting the figure and trying to figure out how to render it with poi. Here are three of the options I've played with. Next, given all the stalls I've been working with since Firedrums, I've taken up a stall intensive, stalling both inside and out with all four corner stalls in the four basic combinations of poi motion. Most of which still need a little work, of course. Finally, a little bit of footwork and deliberate weight placement and how it affects the look of some turns.

This episode of The History Hut focuses on Charlemagne and the Carolingians, who originally come to power through the position of "mayor of the palace." They had problems when it came to the question of succession and the Frankish tradition of dividing up the empire after the death of the ruler, which can be seen through the reigns of Charles Martel, Pepin the Short and Charlemagne. The three characteristics of Charlemagne's rule -- militarism, marriage of church and state, and the Carolingian renaissance -- give us a good idea of what was considered important by these rulers, and show us why this shouldn't really be considered the "Dark Ages" at all. We have mentioned Alcuin of York in past episodes, but it is here that you will see his fundamental importance to what Charlemagne was trying to create. Before moving on to examine life under the Carolingians, we will discuss the political organization of the empire and the economic system that developed to protect both the citizens and the lords (For example: The Feudal System). This episode wraps up with a look at the legacy of Charlemagne and his empire.

We begin by looking at the influence and impact of the Roman Catholic Church on family life and marriage and then move on to the church's attitudes towards things as diverse as celibacy and infanticide. We will touch on some other topics as well, such as travel and kinship, before turning back to politics in a world without Charlemagne. It is important for us to not only look at the political challenges faced by Charlemagne's successors, but also to examine the next threat to imperial unity -- one that comes from the north -- from a people you know as the Vikings.

The Imperial Order of the Holy Roman Empire
sebati.blog.com The Holy Roman Empire was formally founded in the year 800 by Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Lombards, who revived the Imperial August Title of Roman Emperor in the West. According to Carolingian theory, the Roman Empire had merely been suspended, not ended, by the abdication of the last Roman Emperor Romulus Augustus in 476. On Christmas Day, In the year 800 AD Pope Leo III, Crowned Charlemagne Roman Emperor, in St.Peters, Rome, probably perceived more as a personal Imperial Title than as a reference to a particular Territorial Rule. From the death of Arnulf (899), the last Carolingian to hold the Imperial Title, until Emperor Otto's Coronation in Rome by Pope John XII, various rulers bore the Imperial Title but exercised no authority; among them were Louis III, King of Provence, and Berengar I, King of Italy. From the time of Otto's reign the Imperial office was based on the German Kingship. The German King, elected by the German Princes, automatically sought Imperial Coronation by the Pope, the Churchmen who crowned the Emperors, and thus actually sustained the Empire, considered it to be the Church's Secular arm, sharing responsibility for the welfare and spread of the Christian faith and duty-bound to protect the Papacy. This view of the relationship between Church and state, which dated from the reign of Roman Emperor Constantine I, was generally accepted by both Emperors and Popes.

Charlemagne was King (768-814) and emperor (800-814) of the Franks. He is seen as one of the greatest conquerors in history. He conquered the Lombard Kingdom, Saxony, Bavaria and the Spanish March. But his reign is also famous for a cultural florescence, the Carolingian Renaissance. On the height of his power he was crowned to emperor in Rome by the Pope.

TRAVEL EUROPE song: la vie en rose, grace jones *** Paris *** is the capital and largest city in France, situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region (or Paris Region, French: Région parisienne). The city of Paris, within its administrative limits largely unchanged since 1860, has an estimated population of 2193031 (January 2007), but the Paris metropolitan area has a population of 11836970 (January 2007), and is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe. In 2009 and 2010 Paris has been ranked among the three most important and influential cities in the world, among the first three "European cities of the future" -- according to a research published by Financial Times -- and among the top ten cities in the world in which to live according to the British review Monocle (June 2010).[10] An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres, and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities. Paris also ranks among the 10 greenest European cities in 2010. *** Merovingian and Feudal Eras *** The Paris region was under full control of the Germanic Franks by the late 5th century.

This episode of The History Hut will examine the period towards the end of the Roman Empire when many groups of people begin to move west to the Roman borders and inside the Roman frontier, as the Huns start to move west and push everyone before them. These many groups acted as both allies and enemies to the Romans. While it took the Roman Empire a long time to collapse, the 'barbarians' first sacked it early in the fifth century and it continued to face pressure from different barbarian groups. Perhaps the most important part of our discussion is the re-assessment of this period following the collapse of empire, which is usually called 'The Dark Ages' (400-800). This re-assessment shows us just how wrong we have been, since there is actually a lot going on in this era -- writing never stops, neither does building, nor does a very sophisticated level of craftsmanship. We will spend some time looking at what was going on from 400-800AD, focusing on the impact of the Huns and the movement of the Visigoths (into western Europe) and the Vandals (into North Africa). In particular, we are looking for who will emerge as the successor state to Rome, though we will see that it is none of the above. In fact, it is the Franks (also known as the Merovingians) who take over. Our discussion of the Franks will take us through the rule of Childeric and Clovis in particular, and then to the position of 'mayor of the palace,' through which the Carolingians (Holy Roman Empire) come to power <b>...</b>

In the Footsteps of the Carolingians

A giant construction site was erected some 1,200 years ago, near the hot springs on the northern edge of the Eifel region along the western border of Germany. Helmut Maintz, a civil engineer, conjectures that the mood was expectant, much like in Berlin since the fall of the Wall. Now, the...

The Carolingian dynasty (known variously as the Carlovingians, Carolings, or Karlings) was a Frankish noble family with origins in the Arnulfing and Pippinid clans of the 7th century AD. The name "Carolingian", Medieval Latin karolingi, an altered form of an unattested Old High German *karling, kerling (meaning "descendant of Charles", cf. MHG kerlinc), derives from the Latinised name of Charles Martel: Carolus. The family consolidated its power in the late 7th century, eventually making the offices of mayor of the palace and dux et princeps Francorum hereditary and becoming the de facto rulers of the Franks as the real powers behind the throne. By 751, the Merovingian dynasty which until then had ruled the Franks by right was deprived of this right with the consent of the Papacy and the aristocracy and a Carolingian, Pepin the Short, was crowned King of the Franks.

History
Traditional historiography has seen the Carolingian assumption of kingship as the product of a long rise to power, punctuated even by a premature attempt to seize the throne through Childebert the Adopted. This picture, however, is not commonly accepted today. Rather, the coronation of 751 is seen typically as a product of the aspirations of one man, Pepin, and of the Church, which was always looking for powerful secular protectors and for the extension of its spiritual and temporal influence.The greatest Carolingian monarch was Charlemagne, who was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III at Rome in 800. His empire, ostensibly a continuation of the Roman Empire, is referred to historiographically as the Carolingian Empire. The traditional Frankish (and Merovingian) practice of dividing inheritances among heirs was not given up by the Carolingian emperors, though the concept of the indivisibility of the Empire was also accepted. The Carolingians had the practice of making their sons (sub-)kings in the various regions (regna) of the Empire, which they would inherit on the death of their father. Following the death of Louis the Pious, the surviving adult Carolingians fought a three-year civil war ending only in the Treaty of Verdun, which divided the empire into three regna while according imperial status and a nominal lordship to Lothair I. The Carolingians differed markedly from the Merovingians in that they disallowed inheritance to illegitimate offspring, possibly in an effort to prevent infighting among heirs and assure a limit to the division of the realm. In the late ninth century, however, the lack of suitable adults among the Carolingians necessitated the rise of Arnulf of Carinthia, a bastard child of a legitimate Carolingian king.
The Carolingians were displaced in most of the regna of the Empire in 888. They ruled on in East Francia until 911 and they held the throne of West Francia intermittently until 987. Though they asserted their prerogative to rule, their hereditary, God-given right, and their usual alliance with the Church, they were unable to stem the principle of electoral monarchy and their propagandism failed them in the long run. Carolingian cadet branches continued to rule in Vermandois and Lower Lorraine after the last king died in 987, but they never sought thrones of principalities and made peace with the new ruling families. It is with the coronation of Robert II of France as junior co-ruler with his father, Hugh Capet, the first of the Capetian dynasty, that one chronicler of Sens dates the end of Carolingian rule.
The dynasty became extinct in the male line with the death of Odo, Count of Vermandois. His sister Adelaide, the last Carolingian, died in 1122.
