Der Reich der RÖmer • Der römische Kaiser Julian eroberte die Franken imdrittenJahrhundertnachChristus. • Die Franken besiedelten das römischeTerritorium um den Rhein. • Die Franken bliebenübereinJahrhundert den Römerntreu.
Roman Military • During the 4th century, general and commanding positions were granted to many Franks by the Romans. • These officials were given responsibility of their territory in the Empire.
Moving Forward… • Childeric I (463 AD) was an important Salian Frank commander who strengthened the Franks’ power among the Empire and the Gaul. • In only a few years to come, the Salian Franks would be united with the remaining Frankish people. This included the Ripuarians and the Eastern Franks.
Clovis • In 482 AD, Clovis, the son of Childeric I, came to power. • He established the Merovingain Dynasty, becoming the first and most famous ruler. • Clovis was known for his desire to expand the Franks’ territory. • Eventually converted to Christianity. • This made Clovis seen as the King of the Franks by the Pope and expanded their popularity.
Downfall of Merovingain • After Clovis died, his kingdom was divided among his four sons. • This division of power became accustomed to the Merovingain reign. • Unfortunately, many descendants were too young to rule because of this, so they began to rely on advisors to rule during the heirs’ delinquency. • This group of people gained a tremendous amount of power. • Around 700 AD, Charles Martel declared himself as an advisor and the rightful king of the Franks.
A New Beginning… • Martel and his family began the Carolingain Dynasty. • As the Merovingain Dynasty withered away, this new dynasty strengthened among the Franks. • In 800 AD on Christmas Day, Pope Leo III crowned the first Holy Roman Empire to be Charles Augustus; otherwise known as Charlemagne.
A lasting Impression • The Franks grew from just a small tribe to one of the most unified and influential kingdoms in all of Europe’s history. • Their spread of Christianity left a remarkable impression on the surrounding nations.
