- It's commonly misunderstood that the Carolingians were the first to unite the Franks. In reality, the family of Merovech, who fought alongside the Romans against Attila the Hun, was the founder of the first Frankish empire, and dynasty. The Merovingians were an extremely powerful force in western Europe, who eventually were supplanted by the Karlings. Although the Karlings would go on to do greater conquests, it's often ignored that they used the base which the Merovingians built for them to accomplish it.
Let's explore a world where Merovech dethrones his Karling rivals, and brings in the appropriate renown for his people, which was so unjustly robbed from them.

I wont lie, I really prefer starting as a Count, actually.
I also do like starting as a count, however sometimes I play something strong just to flex on the AI.
I prefer playing duke cuz you can hold every duchy in your realm
@@reeeeeeeeeeeeeeman6757 Not entirely sure what you mean. Being Duchy or County, you do not fully hold either as a Duke.
@@JonathanDoe0 You can hold infinite duchy titles as a Duke but can hold only 2 as a king before you get penalties.
I’d like to see another part where a separate Christian religion is formed with folk syncretisation.
And a custom empire encompassing all Frankish/Carolingian land.
I'm currently playing on the Fallen Eagle mod as the Mogyer Confederation. They were nomadic so I actually managed to migrate into Central Asia and take over all of persia. I made a magyar-persian hybrid culture, a new gnostic faith and am currently awaiting for the rise of Islam.
It's been one of my most fun campaigns ever, and I think a nomadic migration story (FE or not) would work well with your style of storytelling. Great work as always!
Did you really create Perso-Hungarians?
actually in fallen eagle (a really good mod) you can play as...any member of the merovingian family, in the year 476. I tried to play as Siagrius, King of Soissons. He was defeated by Clovis in 480, so the margin was thin. I discovered, though....that killing the whole family usually dealt with the problem. So i killed them all.
However....saying that the merovingians "united" anything would be an understatement. The Kingdom broke several times and was divided among the different sons. Then they would fight among themselves once and again. Eventually, Dagobert I gave too much power to the mayors of the palace.... Charlemagne's ancestors were the Mayors of the palace in the kingdom of Austrasia, and they gave to themselves the title of "Duke of the franks". Just under the king. After Austrasia conquered neustria, the carolingians controlled the whole thing.
Then it was just a matter of having the pope to agree to a dynastic change.
yeah, the reality of the Merovingians certainly WASN'T unified, lol, but it makes for a fun premise to set them up as being superior to the Carolingians in that way.
@@Tarkusarkusar Well. Meroveus descended from a fricking sea monster.... which is more epic anyway. XD
This was a really good CK3 story! I was a bit skeptical because I thought you were more of a power gamer than a story teller but you managed to put a lot of interesting stuff in like reasoning for the culture tenet changes and the Mad Merovingian getting in over his head twice in a row with wars and going mad.
In CK3, power gaming IS RP gaming GIGACHAD
I wonder what other dynasties you plan to isekai through time, the Julia? The Antigonids? Honestly I love these vids, that Mughal series was a great watch 👍
You are my favourite CK3 CZcamsr. The depth is superb. Thank you
This was awesome! Loved it.
I love these videos man. Please keep making them.
man i always love watching your videos
Always grade A stories man, keep it up!
Great run. You gained a subscriber today!
That was a beautiful story and video!
I really like you CK3 content, keep it up man
Would be cool to see a similar video to your ”Was northern lords successful?” Video about fate of iberia even though it’s been a few months. I think that video was great and it’s interesting to see an experienced players views on the different dlc :)
Sigebald was such content, great stuff as always
Amazing writing!
you should try this in the Fallen Eagle mod. it’s a great representation of the rise of the merovingians, and specifically Clovis the Great
The life of Sigebald was very well narrated, and extremely fun to watch ^-^
holy shit another banger
I really enjoy all this roleplay
What if you do a megacampaign timelapse for this video to see what happens to Merovingia in the future ages?
I love this series
Another great video, keep it up!
Also, could you try to form Poland starting as Kraków in Victoria 3? Would love to see that ^u^
Small history lesson: Peppin the Short was the son of Charles Martel (the hammer). Charles was the son of Peppin of Herstal... They where the mayor of the palace. A power who has getting bigger at the rule of Clothar II (because of the Salian laws there where a lot of wars between the offsprings from the first king who we known as Clovis I). Peppin the Short became king because the pope supported him. Peppin asked the pope: should the power lay in the people who has the power or the old family (king Childeric III was put on the throne by Peppin and his Brother)
I recently had a campaign conquering england as a french duke and forming an english romance culture, can recommend.

Does anyone know if he used mods to make map graphics look better? And if yes which one? Thnx in advance
History lessons during ck3 playthroughs needs to be a standard!!! Thank you sir for your attention to details!
noice
The Franks where not only the ancestors of the French but also of many German cultures. They originally come from German lands
7:44 - 7:51
perhaps you could bring back Alexander the Great himself
So this is the rich Matrix AI that became a hobo?
Habsburg GigaCHIN story?
This has too many repeats
Should've renamed Brittany so that your three sons could've inherrited "France, Frankia, and Frankany" :P
Are you sure the merovingians were of asatru faith? They weren't true christians (rather questionable christians with lots of pagan things) but most of the early barbarians were christians nevetherless. Turks were the same, no? Strange powerful muslims with quite a few pagan habits, were looked down by the true emirs. But could someone really argue if they were muslims?
I just based it off of the character present in CK2. In that game, Merovech is represented as an Asatru character, so I followed that.
@@Tarkusarkusar cool video, congrats. Didn't know about the ck2 thing
Turks was real muslims, there was sharia in Golden Horde and Volga Bulgaria, they followed Hanafi school, syncretism is myth invented by soviet historians
cope
dynasty is ugly :(
"It makes no sense that he attacked his king but he was depressed."
Tell me you don't know what depression is without telling me you don't know what depression is.
And you forget to edit out mistakes as well lmao.
