 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Franks
Finally the Carolingians had the merit and the satisfaction (for it was both) of re- establishing unity in the Frankish monarchy which had been so frequently divided; from 687 to 843, that is, for over a century and a half, all the Franks were united under the same government.
Brunehilde, who, throughout the reigns of her son and grandsons, had been very influential, now assumed the guardianship of her great-grandson, Sigebert II, and the government of the two kingdoms.
These constituted the Germanic element of the nation which took the place of the Roman party in the government.

 FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 1
Frankish occupation of Papal Romania and Arab pressure from the South had put a tremendous strain on the papacy, and gave rise to a pro-Frankish party of Romans who managed to elect Nicholas I (858-867) as pope.
Emperor Basil I fully understood the dangers of Frankish plans revealed in the letter of Emperor Louis II and answered by sending his army to expel the Arabs from Southern Italy in 876.
Thus in the one case, the institutional aspects of Christianity became a tool of suppression, and in the other, the means of national survival.

 FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 3
Up to this time, the Filioque was a Frankish political weapon which had not yet become a theological controversy because the Romans hopefully believed that the Papacy could dissuade the Franks from their doctrinal dead-end approach.
As we saw in Part 1, there is strong evidence that the cause of the Filioque controversy is to be found in the Frankish decision to provoke the condemnation of the East Romans as heretics so that the latter might become exclusively "Greeks" and, therefore, a different nation from the West Romans under Frankish rule.
However, the Romans had to take the Franks themselves seriously, because they backed up their fantastic theological claims with an unbelievable self-confidence and with a sharp sword, What they lacked in historical insight, they made up with "nobility" of descent, and a strong will to back up their arguments with muscle and steel.

During his reign, the Salians went from being one of the weaker federates in Gaul to one of the leading Germanic peoples in the West.
Clovis chose the Gallic town of Paris as his capital, much as the first Christian Emperor had created a new capital at Constantinople.
Thereafter he went on to Rome where he gained papal support for his mission.

Ever since the Frankish convertian to Christianity under Clovis (496 A.D.) the Frisians had become their major antagonists, as a result the Frankish texts had become colored for political and religious reasons.
He is the defender of the Frisian freedom against the invading Frankish armies and against the Church of Rome.
From a religious point of view the Frisian heatenisme was no longer under threat of Frankish Christianity since there was no sally port (Utrecht).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Crusades
Since the crusade against Saint-Jean d'Acre, a new Frankish state, the Kingdom of Cyprus, had been formed in the Mediterranean opposite Syria and became a valuable point of support for the crusades.
In the end this fleet was destroyed by Saladin's, and, to the great joy of the Mohammedans, the Frankish prisoners were put to death at Mecca.
Then, at the news of the death of his mother, Blanche of Castile, who had been acting as regent, he returned to France.

 Franks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the crusades, which were at first led mostly by nobles from northern France who claimed descent from Charlemagne, both Muslims and Christians used these terms as ethnonyms to describe the Crusaders.
The conversion to Christianity of the pagan Frankish king Clovis was a crucial event in the history of Europe.
Although such elections happened infrequently, a general rule in Germanic law stated that the king relied on the support of his leading men.

 The Franks
Government remained largely in the hands of bishops and counts drawn from the ranks of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy - Clovis' conversion to Orthodox Christianity contributing greatly to their acceptance of Frankish rule (the Burgundians and Visigoths had both converted to the heretical Arian form of Christianity).
The power of the Frankish rulers rested primarily, however, on the Frankish army, and an important motive in their conquests was the need to win booty, land and revenues with which to reward (and thus maintain) the warriors' loyalty.
After defeat by the Romans at Vicus Helena in 440, the Frankish king Chlodio was recognised as a federate leader and left in possession of the region around Tournai, from where he created a significant enclave of Frankish power.

 Frankish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frankish, called in France platt is often confused with the Alsatian language, an unrelated Alemannic German dialect.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Germany
The Augustinian conception of the Kingdom of God early influenced the Frankish State; political and religious theories unconsciously blended.
The consciousness of being the champion of Christianity against the Arabs, moreover, gave to the King of the Franks the religious character of the predestined protectors of the Church; thus he attained a position of great importance in the Kingdom of God.
Nevertheless the union that had been formed between Roman and German elements and Christianity prepared the way for a development of the East Frankish Kingdom in civilization from which great results might be expected.

 First Europe Tutorial - Frankish Empire
The Merovingians had a poor sense of government and administration, and the Frankish practice of dividing the kingdom equally among the king's sons was their greatest liablity in their attempt to create a unified Frankish state.
The Frankish kings, however, were dependent upon the aristocracy to help them govern the kingdom, and with time, the Merovingian king became only a figurehead.
This repeated partitioning not only reaffirmed these new political units, but they also undermined the strength of the Frankish Empire, which ws being raided at its frontiers.

In the following century they moved southward into Gaul, and under their leader Clovis I they overthrew (486) the Romans.
The height of Frankish development and power occurred under the Carolingians, who first ruled as mayors of the palace, and then, from 751, as kings of the reunited Frankish domains.
By the conquest of the First Kingdom of Burgundy, of Bavaria, of the territories of the Alemanni, the Thuringians, and the Saxons, and of the kingdom of the Lombards, the Frankish empire grew (6th-9th cent.) to include most of France, the Low Countries, Germany W of the Elbe, Austria, Switzerland, and N and central Italy.

 Chant Discography
The chant as sung in Rome was not written down until some time after the Frankish version, and was later replaced in Rome by the Frankish version.
Gregorian Chant is thought to be the 8th-9th century Frankish (in modern terms, French and German) version of the Roman chant.
Among reasons for the differences may be that the transplantation of a Roman musical culture to the Frankish kingdom was not easy, and that the Roman chant may itself have continued to develop after it was transmitted to the Frankish Kingdom, before it was finally written down.
