| | The Frankish kingdom |
 | | That part of the Frankish kingdom would be called Neustria (the New Land) as opposed to Austrasia (the Eastern Land), which was the original core territory of the Franks. | | | The campaigns against the Arabs were less successful but Charlemagne managed to extend his influence to the river Ebro 812, although the Arabs in their turn had taken the Balearic Islands 798. | | | That campaign also resulted in Clovis’s appointment to Roman Consul by the East Roman emperor, which increased the prestige of the Frankish kingdom and gave their claim to be an heir to the Roman Empire greater credibility. |

| | Charles the Bald claimed Lotharingia at his nephew's death and was crowned king in Metz, but his brother Louis the German opposed his claim and in 870 the Treaty of Meersen divided Lotharingia between the two brothers and subsequently their sons. | | | This document was produced and likely commissioned during the Hundred Years' War, a dynastic struggle between the rulers of France and England with rival claims to the French throne. | | | Lothar II, the second son, received the Frankish parts of his father's realm, which after him were called Lotharingia. |

| | The discipline and resolve of the Franks was apparently too much for the Muslims, as Frankish scouts discovered on the following morning that the Muslim camp had been abandoned in haste during the night, with a great deal of plunder having been left behind in the tents. | | | In addition to economic ties which had existed since Roman days, politico-military ties connecting southern Gaul to Iberia were reinforced by the Visigothic warriors who settled Aquitaine, Languedoc, and Iberia in the fifth century. | | | In this essay I intend to suggest answers to the four most crucial questions concerning the Battle of Tours-Poitiers which have not been answered sufficiently by Frankish experts or Islamicists. |

| | The claim of hereditary right had little practical meaning unless the king could maintain himself in a very fluid and competitive political environment. | | | Early English kings, like Frankish kings and others of the period, were warlords, men whose ability to inspire fear in their enemies was the basis of their claim to rule. | | | Hrothgar, the Danish king whom Beowulf came to serve, was "the best of earthly kings" because "he was the best of those who bestowed gold." A bad king was one who "[began] to hoard his treasure," who "never [parted] with gold rings." [Campbell, 54] The tie between warlord and retainer was two-way. |
