 | | Although records from a synod held at Mainz in 853 suggest that Bohemia was already a Christian land, Rastislav was hesitant to allow the church in his kingdom come under the leadership of German bishops. | | | By 870 Wessex was the only kingdom of note not in Danish hands, and soon it too came under their attack. | | | Until the defeat of the Ostrogoths by Justinian, the Ostrogothic kingdom of Italy played a leading role, and through marriage alliances and diplomatic ties united the eastern Germanic kingdoms of the Goths, Vandals and Burgundians. |

| | ORB -- The Rollonid Principality 2.2 |
| | From uneasy beginnings, Charles Simplex had made remarkable gains: He had reunited two of the Frankish kingdoms under his rule, and he had blunted Northmannic assaults on his realm by allying himself to the Northmen of Rouen, who by guarding the Seine could protect the Frankish heartlands from river-borne Northmannic raids. | | | Although Odo was seen only as a stop-gap candidate, and was succeeded upon his death by the Carolingian Charles Simplex, he still set a precedent; from his day forward, the Robertines would have royal blood, and thus would have at least some claim to the throne. | | | It is also of critical importance that Rollo and his successors settled in Neustria, and thus to the extent that the Rollonids participated in the Frankish political world, they were theoretically under the command of the Robertines. |
