Tom Richey presents an introduction to the Franks from Clovis to Charlemagne.
LECTURE NOTES:
After the Fall of the Roman Empire left Western Europe in chaos, the Franks rose to prominence to fill the power vacuum in the Early Middle Ages and had a lasting effect on the development of Western Europe.
Ever since Julius Caesar’s conquest of Gaul in the first century B.C., the Romans had ruled the area that is today France, Switzerland, and Belgium. In the fifth century A.D., the Roman Empire was crumbling and failing to defend itself against invasions by barbarian tribes. In 455, the Vandals sacked Rome, pillaging the city so thoroughly that the term, vandalism, had become synonymous with the destruction of property. In 476 A.D., Rome was conquered by barbarian invaders and several tribes, including the Vandals, the Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, and the Franks, divided the spoils. Over the following three centuries, the Franks would come out on top, building an empire that stretched from present-day Spain to present-day Germany.
In 509, Clovis I became the first King of the Franks, unifying the allied Frankish tribes under one leader. In addition to conquering new territories, expanding the Frankish Kingdom to cover most of present-day France, Clovis also converted to Catholic Christianity (as opposed to Arian Christianity, which taught that Jesus was not fully God) after crediting Jesus Christ with a victory in a hard-fought battle. Today, France gets its name from the Franks and Catholicism remains the nation’s predominant religion, making Clovis a very important and influential figure in French history.
Over the following two centuries, the Frankish Kingdom grew powerful - powerful enough to halt the expansion of the Islamic Caliphate which had conquered the entirety of North Africa and Spain. In 732, Charles Martel commanded the victorious Frankish army in the decisive Battle of Tours, which halted the Caliphate’s expansion and cemented the Frankish Kingdom’s place as Western Europe’s preeminent power. In recognition of his victory, Charles was given the honorific nickname, “the Hammer.”
Charles Martel’s son, Pepin the Short, overthrew the Frankish king, usurping the throne with the Pope’s blessing, establishing the Carolingian Dynasty (The House of Charles). The close ties between the Franks and the Papacy would continue into the reign of Pepin’s son, Charles the Great, popularly remembered by his French name, Charlemagne. Charlemagne expanded the Frankish Kingdom through military conquests, including a campaign into Italy to assist the Pope against his enemies. In appreciation for Charlemagne’s support, the Pope crowned him “Emperor of the Romans” in 800. A thousand years later, Napoleon, the Emperor of France, would honor Charlemagne in the iconic series of paintings by Jacques-Louis David of Napoleon Crossing the Alps. Etched into the stones in the bottom left corner of the painting are Napoleon’s name, along with the names of Hannibal, who had crossed the Alps to attack Rome, and Charlemagne (written in Latin as KAROLVS MAGNVS), who had crossed the Alps to help the Pope and expand the Frankish Empire into Italy - just as Napoleon was, at the time, expanding the French Empire into Italy.
At the time of Charlemagne’s death, the Frankish Empire was the most powerful political entity in Europe, rivaling the Byzantine (or Eastern Roman) Empire and the Islamic Caliphate in power. However, it was not to last. Charlemagne’s empire was divided between his sons after his death and after a series of civil wars, the Frankish Empire was formally divided by the Treaty of Verdun in 843 and it would never be reunited. The Western Europe of the High Middle Ages would not be governed as a centralized state, but as a patchwork quilt of feudal kingdoms where local lords held more authority than the kings to whom they swore allegiance. But the Franks were not without impact. They laid the foundation for the Kingdom of France, secured the Pope’s position as the leader of Christians in Western Europe, and led indirectly to the medieval institution of a Holy Roman Empire ruled by Germans.

Definitely one of the best channels on CZcams. Not only for its content, but also the way you present things.
Cheers from France!
Thank you very much! :D
Contrary to popular belief, Pepin the Short was not short at all. In fact, he was very tall at well over 6'0"! 👑💍
Small correction: Charlemagne was succeeded by his son Emperor Louis the Pious, initially co-ruling with his father for the last year of his life (813-14) and already king of Aquitaine, a lesser kingdom under Carolingian Suzerainty, he inherited Charlemagne’s legacy and kept the empire together until his death in 840.
It is his (Louis the Pious) sons, Charlemagne’s grandchildren, that fought over the Carolingian Thrown, dividing the empire into 3 domains, in 843.
The Eastern portion under Louis the German, forming the basis for Germany that as a de facto kingdom was destined to spend a millennium struggling to assemble until 1870; with the central portion or Middle Frankia, of Charlemagne’s empire, under Lothair I, breaking up proceeding his death, into: the present day Netherlands and Belgium, Lorraine (from Lothair), Alsace, The Duchy of Parma, Provence and the Rhine Region.
Only West Frankia, evolving into France, survived uninterruptedly as a political unit, and coming close to dissolution many times as the kings in Paris struggled to justify to their vessels in Aquitaine, Normandy, Flanders and Burgandy why they ought to be supreme.
The story of France, arguably until 1871, can be viewed as: Paris and Île da France, seesawing with neighbours within and outside of France from the reign of King Louis V, the final Carolingian monarch and fourth great-grandson of Charlemagne.
The Carolingian Dynasty declining the same way as the Merovingians before them, with a couple of weak-do nothing kings being led around by power-brokers.
Admire and appreciate your content, and was once imbued with the goal of having such a channel, myself, 10 years ago, before CZcams had educational videos, or indeed quality content period.
However, Charlemagne's descendants still survived and thrived... Thankfully as I am descended from him via my maternal ancestry...
Absolutely, I am also a descendant on my mother’s side. Much of Europe’s illustrious houses are in some way descent from the Carolingians, Welfs, Merovingians, Robertians & Goths, via a maternal link.
@@matthewlaurence3121 true. I'm an American with French, Italian, Irish, Spanish, English, German, Cherokee Native American, & African American in me... The French & Italian & possibly the German come from Charlemagne..m
Contrary to popular belief, Pepin the Short was not short at all. In fact, he was very tall at well over 6'0"! 👑💍
Meanwhile, I'm also of Visigothic ancestry too, since the Spanish are the direct children of the Romanized Visigoths, remember that the most romanized kingdoms were the Visigoths and the Suebians, of all, they happened to be distant of their own Germanic past after 200 years of settling the Iberian peninsula.
Just so you know, in french "marteau" means hammer. Martel is the ancient french for marteau, like "castel" for château
Thank you Mr. Richey! Fine content indeed!
Great video, thank you!! Cheers from Brazil.
I just found Tom Richey looking at videos on positivism and now I'm hooked! Very interesting and informative guy. Love the rock & roll intros!!
whos here bc their teacher gave them this video in time of coronavirus :,D
me
unfortunately 😔
Meeeeee
mhm
hi ye hello
Amazing video!
I am Salian Frankish plus Belgian Celtic(P celtic language like southern Brythonnic). The Salian Franks came from the Netherlands to the north of Belgium for the rich farming lands. A Fleming. Germans had Ripuarian or Rhineland Franks. The salian Franks came from the middle-east Netherland and a little bit over the border with Germany. Frankish=Flemish(very old) and very related to old English. Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Frisian and the language of the Franks were one language group. I can read and understand everything from an old English text as a Fleming. I can tell you many many things about the Belgian Celts and their history.
Have you got a blog?
Nice! Thanks Tom
Thank you for a very clear explanation. Well done
That was a great video!
Awesome video, dude.
My Ancestor is Charlemagne. Eventually the line went from Kings to dukes to just normal people. Here I am with no cash in my pocket but I love History. My Long Journey has led me to this channel to discover more of God and Country in History.❤ Thank You for All This.
Perfect for our homeschool unit. Thanks so much.
Excellent job as always... please do more episodes on the Middle Ages, the Black Death, barbarian invasions, the Goths, Gauls, also fall of Western Roman Empire, art during these time periods. Also, please explore more of ancient Greece and Rome... emperors, culture, conquests, art, everyday life. Your delivery is always clear and enjoyable to watch. Thanks again. Stay in ancient history, please...

this made a very good lesson of history well explained
I love your vedeos you are an amazing teacher!
Videos
Excellent! Much of this is mentioned in the 1936 book A Little History of the World by Gombrich I've been listening to
very good video
This is very helpful! This will help with your test Friday I hope 🤞
As another commenter already pointed out, "Martel" from vulgar latin "martellus" or "marteau" literally means "hammer." So, it's unlikely they called him Charles 'The Hammer' Hammer. Great video!
great video...Clovis was my 46th GGF and Charlemagne my 39th GGF
Contrary to popular belief, Pepin the Short was not short at all. In fact, he was very tall at well over 6'0"! 👑💍
Great video as always but one correction. It was his grandkids that split up the Frankish Empire not his children. Charlemagne only had one son, Louis the Pious, that survived until after his death so there weren't any other siblings to split it up between. But Louis had three sons of his own which split up the kingdom.
I was just about to make this comment

Fascinating history lecture on the beginning of modern France, it would be cool to see a video on the Massacre of Verdun of 4,500 pagan Saxons in the mid-8th century A.D.
You’d appreciate Totalus Rankium’s recent episode on Byzantine Empress Irene... who was the eastern Roman empress who was not very happy. They love talking about Charlemagne. “The West is back (Yay!) sort of...” Very good episode!
Treaty of Verdun, signed in August 843, was the first of the treaties that divided the Carolingian Empire into three kingdoms among the three surviving sons of Louis the Pious, who was the son of Charlemagne.
TY💙
I love these, does anyone know what the teacher’s background is?
I congratulate you, your course very well explained, I would like you to address more about the lives of the characters, for example Carlos Martel who participated in the Battle of Poitiers against the Muslims, his son Pepin the Short and his wife Berta from Hungary and their respective sons, one of them Charlemagne, etc.

Thanks for supplying the absolutely miserable energy of a highschool teacher zoom class to the Library of amazing history CZcams. Your video reminds me just how awful people can be at teaching
Napoleon just forgot to mention Suvorov who also crossed the Alps with an army before.
I haven’t got my softning phase and Frank look up Raymond family Dynasty I’m related directly to all Frankish Roman emperors
Everything I choose, and will do I will conquer
I love this stuff just becuase it is my documented lineage
Funny that English historiography is locating the battle in which Charles Martel reppeled muslims at Tours when it is at Poitiers in the French historiography like it is written in the legend of the painting. (both cities are like 50-100km away from each others)
I am really curious about which figures from Ancient Rome have verified direct ancestry of Clovis, Merovech, etc. Then we can trace the entire live from BC to contemporary European monarchs (and thus the ancestry of all white and part-white people worldwide).
*It talks about Charlemagne at **5:40**!*
your welcome
Just imagine how rich and influential Charlemagne's empire would be today (Netherlands, Belgium, most important part of Germany, Switzerland, France and Northern Italy.
Nice acniet
I should be studying...
Thanks for this video. My ancestor was Clovis I according to ancestry.com
So when are you taking back your rightful throne?
@@graysonguinn1943 Idk. I hope when my ancestor the Quinotaur rises from the depths of the sea. But honestly, due to the US going down hill, I'm thinking about buying some land, and starting my own country. It'll be a Kingdom based on the UK: (1) King. (2) State Church. (3) Unitary-state.
@@jimbobbarton6730 I have ties to the Franks, ( Charlemagne), Normans, Plantagenets, Templars, magna carta etc.
@@jimbobbarton6730 the Franks didnt occupy Britain.
When Rickey posts an 11 minute video about the Franks : 😫
I didn’t know Theo Von has a brother that was into History.
4:41 Anyone else see homie in the background, looking like “ ohhh fuck!!!!! “
And the franciscan monks pre Romans seazed roman temples and baths houses in around Europe
Charlemagne in French would sound something like this: [SHAR - luh MAHN - yuh]
When did Theo Von become such a history buff?
I’m somewhat disappointed by the exclusion of the Carolingian Renaissance, but still good work as always
I designed this as an introductory video for high school classrooms, but I am considering doing a more focused video on Charlemagne and/or the Carolingian Renaissance in the future. The Middle Ages are something of a new endeavor for me, but I’m intrigued as I’m starting to take a deeper look!
Tom Richey please do more if you want to / can and thanks for the reply, love your videos!
charlemage had one living son when he died. the treaty of verdun divided his empire between his three grandsons
Battle of Tours
Ahh, the memories....
Not so hot for the
Luckless Tourists tho.... :D
3:52 Doesn't "Martel" mean hammer ? So it' is just Charles Martel not Charles "the Hammer" Martel
My ancestors!
How much Germanic ancestry do you have ? Do you still speak your native Germanic tongue without Latin influence ? Do you still practice paganism ?
For the pronunciation of Charlemagne, it will be easier for you to say charlemane, it's not exactly this, but closer and easier for English speakers ;)
Are not the Pope who crowned Charlemagne during Christmas eve emperor, and Charlemagne bloodly related?
JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH MORE THEN YOU COULD EVE MR IMAGINE ❤❤ REPENT
vandals were arians?

sry no 5:22 is what i was laughing at...
And if you look closely the frankish empire and carolingian empire is a match for the the future founding 6 members of the EU
Delilah was woman, she was fine and fair. She had nothing but her long brown hair. Delilah she gained old Samson's mind; when first he met this woman, she looked so fine. Delilah she got up on old Samson's knee and said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please," and she spoke so kind, Lord, she talked so fair, that Samson said, "Delilah, you cut off my hair; you can shave my head clean as my hand and my strength become as natural as any old man."

Im really sad that whenever the Franks were invovled they this ots the French state. Franks took the name, but the Franks were germanoc people who happena to rule modern francw and western germany. The hearth of Carolingian empire was the Rhineland, which was populated by germanic people. France, Germany and the Netherlands has equal claim to Frankish heritage.
J'en étais sur que des allemands allaient s'inventer une histoire les carolingiens son une dinastie de la fusion maison de metz et Herstal donc franco belge! Toute ca famille est enterré en france a St denis pepin est né a querzy france charlemagne aussi son frère soisson tous son né en France mêmes son fils Louis 1er et né a bordeaux enterré a Metz la mère de charlemagne et née a samoussi france 😳 les français sont aussi gaulois que franc la monarchie française commence a clovis !!!!!!
Les germains sont plusieurs peuples dont les francs ont créé la France clovis a pas envahie la France mais l'a créer alors que l'Allemagne le deutchland existe que depuis 1871 il faudrait arrêter avec votre folkore national les germains non jamais été un pays mais plusieurs. Pour information charlemagne et couronné prince des francs a Paris puis roi de Neustrie a Noyon puis de tout les francs a Soisson !!!! En quoi c 'est pas l' histoire de France ? 😳

I'm sorry, but I have a hell of time following this guy: his voice is a monotone machine buzzing and I have trouble focusing on what he says.
‘Go get em tiger’
Probably how ww3 bout to start.
At 8;24 why be a subsect of christianity, especially catholic where there's no great reason for rituals that they recently conducted in, I would condone the rituals more if there wasn't an obvious sorta dance with dead look which I've done something similar and lived to regret it, + maybe it would be savvy to use incense and salt to stave off evil spirits, but it appears as if they welcome them by the bowing and the circle after the "dance" or walking in certain places for a moment for alien seeming reasons, charlemagne is more like napoleon, because his saving of the pope was probably political as the feigned surprised to not knight hood but instead, hey guess what your king now, also pico mandolin did his theses on the 900, and charlemagne did whatever in 800 ad, I don't think any of its a coincidence per say, or perhaps never happened at all, because if so how could napoleon spearhead and I'm guessing he did enough, and also somehow his ships were faster, he was obviously a socialist because of peire, and supposedly listened to him when exiled to a wonderland his own island and freedom with a bunch of servants supposedly, and then somehow sarcastically came back to france to throw more lives seemingly voluntary like hitler away on both sides for what reason?! And is still somehow hailed and bullet proofed do to socialism, a version of humanism, totalitarianism, all the same cat in the bag, so ur book sneeches by dr sues, somehow what the doctor ordered, to be a ratt, sometimes all u need to do is unveil already obvious information, and this is certainly obviously 1 of those areas because the subjects aren't history obscura like max erin von schweidnerichter, which would have recognized the armenian genocide as early as 24, by being told that from his mentor in whom went down with him trying to take the police station to start the brown shirts, but he lived tho arm out of the socket from his falling killed mentor since they locked arms before the march towards the station, the end part instead isn't so much strictly dicltly confidential information a german could know it I met one working fastfood. But the initial part is certainly most likely definitely confidential information, and was made likely to invite resistance, so that way the priority of targets hit were the sneeches. As far as the one sided deal of it all goes, they say there's another side with a singular mentality or alignment when it comes to good or evil that makes man not prosper or move on, a sorta stalemate or lethal stagnation, just because we're all deemed as categorically evil, doesn't mean that they still said a day with jesus is like a 1000 years and 1000 years a day, I met a guy that claimed to be part of the mexican mafia he emitted light on 1 occasion, he told me of some of my future if I survived at least for that long. There is no good person at least categorically, also you maybe able to convince yourself your 1 I try. I won't stop trying, but always remember if salt isn't salty, and I believe more than usual if jesus did mean well it was to opress people appropriately, and I came up with a saying from forest gump that helps, "whats wrong you don't like chocolate you just ate a box of it", so christianity becomes the foundation of individualism or secularism just add that, and johny depp octopus style at work and it cancels out having to actively act like a sense of urgency, because u will either be on par with the best workers or be the best one, so don't argue if they tell u to look as a sense of urgency just stay busy always, and make a god deal even as an atheist, you tell your rel or pretend god because I'm one of the ones that didn't believe jesus is god, but believed more in the end of the universe is like a turtle and were all in god, like discworld sorta on psx, and that god maybe in another dimension mainly, but the only not abe lincoln statue type god is the loophole that he's only god the father because of the big bang, and its up for u t assume or control as much as you need to the nature of man, because everybody usually go's without and make plans accordingly that does often take time sacrifice and effort to change directions enough to benefit from a more beneficial reality in general, abe lincoln god comes from trying to prove jesus wrong because your stuck being in the wrong because of what I call petri dish god, the other god is possible at times which is other dimension or heaven, and haters haterade often comes from, I call guff god, which I got from the story of the guff, which seems like a sleepy uneventful purgatory, but look at how conscience wood elves are at times, so to pay homage to god even if it is different than what jesus believers would do, you say if I enjoy it I appreciate life, found out later jesus says enjoy the hard times enjoy the good times, but initially thought it just solely a trap as a child, then there's playing into and out of behavior acts, we're all actors and true truth maybe idd so u must refrain always in ways or areas, so don't be 1 way you'll get stuck being or you'll quit your job under the idea hey I always been funny, but also feeling trapped even with job security and people that trust you, then I got a magic word trick, it's say when u ask yourself if your patient say yes of course I'm patient because I'm enjoying it, and before that or after say patient is a naughty dirty word, never even think that awful word patience, I can whistle the song to where u can't tell the difference, I thought of pom pokko where the old guy teacher says in prayer were sorry for killing humans and they all bust out laughing and partying, some do things with their hands that remind me of my mother's somewhat unique style, she also told me to always stay moving on the job, 1 time I was given a job with no objective or training as a lobby guy at mcdies, and 2 older ladies said we want to talk to your boss about getting you a raise, that made my day sorta. I believed this would help out more than just considerably, I live in a county where maybe up to greater than 9/10ths of the population have to work jobs or die within the month. And seemingly everyone is independent either traditionally or religious both, the last word of caution is to know things the dangers when you might enter a new field, and never go against the clans unless it's needed like for instance find out what neighborhoods are monopolized by mexicans like in texas, give them there space because it could be that there's no warning when you go to do a roofing job in a certain area, and believe me in some cases "or all" it's not worth even attempting a risk, the exception is if they take more area than should be allotted, sides that it's easier to have fixed area negotiations because of urged lack in arbitration, meaning shoot the messenger is more likely than trying to come to an agreement, and you can just find out what the borders are from someone. It's just like land our areas are segregated for convenience as well as survival.
Dude you are wrong about being a Islamic Caliphate. The Islamic Caliphate tried 3 times to Kill the King of Morocco and on the Third time after losing three wars to him, the Islamic Caliphate asked him to be King of that Caliphate because they could not beat him. Than the Islamic Caliphate then asked him to invade Europe because Caliphate wanted to dominate they whole world. The King of Morocco newlyCrowned King of the Caliphate than died after living in Iberia and raising his sons in peace and not in a desert. His sons than with their forces tried to take the rest of Europe and were unsuccessful.
Great video Tom. Charlemagne “the father of Europe”. Some genealogists say most Western Europeans are descendants of Charlemagne, do you believe this?
If he had plenty of children, it would could well be.
If you have done any ancestry research ( look up gateway ancestors). If you have ANY real relationship to him, it will show.
I have DIRECT ties to him through a couple of ancestors ( he is a Gxxx grandfather).
I've always thought that Arian Christianity argued that Jesus was fully human
Arianism says that the Father is superior to the Son in the context of the Trinity
@@graysonguinn1943 well specifically it states that the son is a creation of the father. Orthodox trinitarianism would say the son always existed with the father and was not created.
Some Arian doctrine did believe Jesus was just human, not divine.
yo queiro taco bell

Charles the hammer Martel is a joke. He did not stop the caliphate. The original King of the Caliphate was Military genius. If the original Military Genius King did not stop plundering and raised his sons in Iberia there would be No Europe or Britain as we know today because he command from the middle of Africa to Morocco. That was close to 9 million soldiers. His sons could not muster that many under their banner. Any one claiming to stop that Caliphate is garnered no respect. They stopped a Remnant of the original Caliphate King.
I have never understood why French isn't a Germanic language. It should be. Why isn't it? Frankish was.
Le français et un mélange latin vulgaire et franc (germains) le français et la langue latine la plus germanique
Pour la raison aussi que les francs non jamais chercher a imposer leurs langue et leurs cultures il se sont mélanger a la population et ca a donné les français et le français

Not bad but you basically ignored Clovis I and the Merovingian dynasty. A shame because it is really interesting. Too bad no one cares.
The only thing that the French today have in common with the Franks is the name. The Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians and the English have more in common with the Franks since they are all of Germanic ancestry. The Dutch language along with some German regional languages came directly from the Franks.
Then what are the French of today considered to be?
@@Jesus.purple The French people of today are mostly Celtic or Romanic with Iberian and Greek ancestry in the mix. There is only a minority of people left who are Germanic who (mostly) live in Normandy
@@Weda01 Thanks so much🌸💮🏵🌹. :)
@@Jesus.purple np :)
@@Weda01 No, in Normandy there is a later Viking influence. Franks were not Normans or Scandinavian. They came from alongside the Danube.
Correction, the Catholic Franks are not defending 'Christianity' they are defending the false Catholic Church.
Catholicism is Christianity.
