The Franks (Latin: Franci or gens Francorum) were a confederation of Germanic tribes occupying land in the Lower and Middle Rhine in the 3rd century.

Some Franks raided Roman territory,

while other Frank tribes

joined the Roman troops

in what was called Gaul (currently France). NEWS Never Ending War Story
The Salian Franks formed a kingdom on Roman-held soil that, after 357, was acknowledged by the Romans. After the collapse of Rome in the West, the Frankish tribes were united under the Merovingians who succeeded in conquering most of Gaul in the 6th century. The Franks became very powerful after this. The Merovingian dynasty, descendants of the Salians, founded one of the Germanic monarchies which replaced the Western Roman Empire. The Frankish state consolidated its hold over large parts of western Europe by the end of the eighth century, developing into the Carolingian Empire. This empire would gradually evolve into the state of France and the Holy Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, the term Frank was used in the East as a synonym for western European, as the Franks were then rulers of most of western Europe.[1][2][3]
One theory suggests that the meaning of "free" was adopted because after the conquest of Gaul,

only

Franks were free of taxation.

The Franks, being situated on and within the border of Roman Gaul and across the channel from Roman Britain, were the most educated, literate, and literarily prolific of all the Germanics of the Old High German and Old Dutch language

phases. The first Germanic cities were located in their territory. Many Franks were high officers in the Roman administration, for which positions a Roman literary education was a prerequisite. Frankish troops guarded the Roman frontier from Britain to the Middle East. Thousands of documents have been discovered within Frankish territory in several scripts and media, from tombstones to laws recorded on parchment. Their writers are by far the major sources of medieval European history outside the GalloRoman world. It is surprising therefore that very few of these documents were written in Frankish dialects. Old Frankish was very nearly an entirely verbal means of communication, as far as can be judged from the surviving writings. For more formal communications of any kind, the Franks used the lingua franca Medieval Latin. During Rome's hegemony, to be educated was to know Latin as an administrative language it was indispensable. Monarchs prided themselves in their ability to communicate via Latin, especially to emissaries and rulers of foreign nations.

Latin served in place of translation; with it all educated and administrative Europe spoke the same language.
There is no surviving work of literature in the Frankish language

(Unwritten Law)
and perhaps no such works ever existed. Latin was the written language of Gaul before and during the Frankish period (e.g. Salic law). Of the Gallic works which survive, there are a few chronicles, many hagiographies and saints' lives, and a small corpus of poems.

Echoes of Frankish paganism can be found in the primary sources,

but their meaning is not always clear.

Interpretations by modern scholars differ greatly, but it is likely that Frankish paganism shared most of the characteristics of other varieties of Germanic paganism. The mythology of the Franks was probably a form of Germanic polytheism. It was highly ritualistic. Many daily activities centred around the multiple deities, chiefest of which may have been the Quinotaur, a water-god from whom the Merovingians were reputed to have derived their ancestry.[37] Most of their gods were linked with local cult centres and their sacred character and power were associated with specific regions, outside of which they were neither worshipped nor feared. Most of the gods were "worldly", possessing form and having connections with specific objects, in contrast to the God of Christianity.[38] Some Franks, like the 4th-century usurper Silvanus, converted early to Christianity. In 496, Clovis I, who had married a Burgundian Catholic named Clotilda in 493, was baptised by Saint Remi after a decisive victory over the Alemanni at the Battle of Tolbiac. According to Gregory of Tours, over three thousand of his soldiers were baptised with him.[39] Clovis' conversion had a profound effect on the course of European history, for at the time the Franks were the only major Christianized Germanic tribe without a predominantly Arian aristocracy and this led to a naturally amicable relationship between the Catholic Church and

the increasingly powerful Franks.

Though many of the Frankish aristocracy quickly followed Clovis in converting to Christianity, the conversion of all his subjects was only achieved after considerable effort and, in some regions, a period of over two centuries.[40] The Chronicle of St. Denis relates that, following Clovis' conversion, a number of pagans who were unhappy with this turn of events rallied around Ragnachar, who had played an important role in Clovis' initial rise to power. Though the text remains unclear as to the precise pretext, Clovis had Ragnachar executed.[41] Remaining pockets of resistance were overcome region by region, primarily due to the work of an expanding network of monasteries.[42]

Gelasian Sacramentary, c. 750 The Merovingian Church was shaped by both internal and external forces. It had to come to terms with an established Gallo-Roman hierarchy that resisted changes to its culture, Christianize pagan sensibilities and suppress their expression, provide a new theological basis for Merovingian forms of kingship deeply rooted in pagan Germanic tradition, and accommodate Irish and Anglo-Saxon missionary activities and papal requirements.[43] The Carolingian reformation of monasticism and church-state relations was the culmination of the Frankish Church.

The increasingly wealthy Merovingian elite

endowed many monasteries, including that of the Irish missionary Columbanus. The 5th, 6th, and 7th centuries saw two major waves of hermitism in the Frankish world, which led to legislation requiring that all monks and hermits follow the Rule of St Benedict.[44] The Church sometimes had an uneasy relationship with the Merovingian kings,

whose claim to rule depended on a mystique of royal descent

and

who tended to revert to the polygamy of their pagan ancestors.

Rome encouraged the Franks to slowly replace the Gallican Rite with the Roman rite. When the mayors took over, the Church was supportive and

an Emperor crowned by the Pope

was much more to their liking. Laws [edit] As with other Germanic peoples, the laws of the Franks were memorised by "rachimburgs", who were analogous to the lawspeakers of Scandinavia.[45] By the 6th century, when these laws first appeared in written form, two basic legal subdivisions existed:

Salian Franks were subject to Salic law and Ripuarian Franks to Ripuarian law.

Gallo-Romans south of the River Loire and clergy remained

subject to traditional

Roman law.[46]

www.Amen.Infidels2014.com Germanic peoples, including those tribes in the Rhine delta that later became the Franks, are known to have served in the Roman army since the days of Julius Caesar. After the Roman administration collapsed in Gaul in the 260s, the armies under the Germanic Batavian Postumus revolted and proclaimed him emperor and then restored order. From then on Germanic soldiers in the Roman army, most notably Franks, were promoted from the ranks. A few decades later, the Menapian Carausius created a Batavian-British rump state on Roman soil that was supported by Frankish soldiers and raiders. Frankish soldiers such as Magnentius, Silvanus,and Arbitio held command positions in the Roman army during the mid 4th century. From the narrative of Ammianus Marcellinus it is evident that both Frankish and Alamannic tribal armies were organised along Roman lines. After the invasion of Chlodio, the Roman armies at the Rhine border became a Frankish "franchise" and Franks were known to levy Roman-like troops that were supported by a Roman-like armour and weapons industry. This lasted at least till the days of the scholar Procopius (c. AD 500 c. AD 565), more than a century after the demise of the Western Roman Empire, who wrote describing the former Rhine army as still in operation with legions of the style of their forefathers during Roman times. The Franks under the Merovingians melded Germanic custom with Romanized organisation and several important tactical innovations. Before their conquest of Gaul, the Franks fought primarily as a tribe, unless they were part of a Roman military unit fighting in conjunction with other imperial units. Military practices of the early Franks[edit]

The weapons of a 5th-6th century Frankish warrior The primary sources for Frankish military custom and armament are Ammianus Marcellinus, Agathias, and Procopius, the latter two Eastern Roman historians writing about Frankish intervention in the Gothic War. Page 4 of 11

Writing of 539, Procopius says: At this time the Franks, hearing that both the Goths and Romans had suffered severely by the war ... forgetting for the moment their oaths and treaties ...

(for this nation in matters of trust is the most treacherous in the world),
they straightway gathered to the number of one hundred thousand under the leadership of Theudebert I and marched into Italy:

Germanic law was overwhelmingly concerned with the protection of individuals

and less concerned with protecting the interests of the state. According to Michel Rouche, "Frankish

judges
devoted as much care to a case involving the theft of a dog

as Roman judges
did to cases involving the fiscal responsibility of curiales, or municipal councilors".[47] In Ancient Rome, the curiales (from co + viria, 'gathering of men') were initially the leading members of a gentes (clan) of the city of Rome. Their roles were both civil and sacred. Each gens curiales had a leader, called a curio. The whole arrangement of assemblies was presided over by the curio

maximus.

The Roman civic form was replicated in the towns and cities of the empire as they came under Roman control. By the Late Empire, curiales referred to the merchants, businessmen, and mid-level landowners who served in their local curia as local magistrates and decurions. Curiales were expected to procure funds for public building projects, temples, festivities, games, and local welfare systems. They would often pay for these expenses out of their own pocket (undoubtedly mentioning their generosity) as a means to increase their personal prestige. The curiales were also responsible for the collection of Imperial taxes, provided food and board for the army, and supported the imperial post (cursus publicus). Page 6 of 11

As the Empire declined and the economy floundered, membership among the curial class became financially ruinous to all but the most wealthy (who in many cases were able to purchase exemptions from their obligations). Because of this, many tried to escape by enrolling in positions that cancelled curial responsibilities, such as the army, the Imperial government, or the Church. The Emperor Julian tried to combat this development by increasing the size of curial councils, spreading the burden more evenly to make the position less costly. This attempt was not successful, and Julian himself died before he had time to see the policy through. Other efforts to remedy the situation failed as well, and the councils dwindled in importance through the Late Roman period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curio_maximus The curio maximus was an obscure priesthood in ancient Rome that had groups of citizens loosely affiliated within what was originally a tribe.[2] Each curia was led by a curio, who was admitted only after the age of 50 and held his office for life. The curiones were required to be in good health and without physical defect, and could not hold any other civil or military office; the pool of willing candidates was thus neither large nor eager.[3] In the early Republic, the curio maximus was always a patrician, and officiated as the senior interrex.[4] The earliest curio maximus identified as such is Servius Sulpicius (consul 500 BC), who held the office in 463.[5] The first plebeian to hold the office was elected in 209 BC.[6] The election of a plebeian to succeed an impeccably pedigreed Aemilius Paullus was predictably controversial, even though the office of curio maximus had become

oversight of the curiae,[1]

"anachronistic and somewhat bizarre,"[7]

and the election of both a plebeian pontifex maximus as early as 254 BC and rex sacrorum just the previous year[8] would have seemed to clear the way. When the patricians objected to the candidacy of C. Mamilius Atellus, the tribunes of the plebs, who normally withheld themselves from religious affairs, were called in. They followed procedure by referring the matter to the senate,

who promptly tossed it back to them.

Political jockeying

no longer discernible
in the historical record was perhaps in play. Mamilius was duly elected, and held the office until he died of plague in 175 BC. His successor, also a plebeian, was C. Scribonius Curio,[9] whose new cognomen passed to his descendants, most notably the father and son active at the time of Julius Caesar.[10] The electoral procedure for the office of curio maximus probably resembled that of pontifex maximus; that is, election through the tribes.[11] Others known to have held the office include C. Calvisius Sabinus, the consul of 39 BC. The curio maximus presided over the Quirinalia,[12] and also the agricultural festivals of the curiae such as the Fordicidia, when pregnant cows were sacrificed, and the Fornacalia, or Oven Festival.[13] The Fornacalia had no fixed date, and though each curia might celebrate the festival separately, the date was determined by the curio maximus and posted in the forum.[14] Although the curio was a kind of priest, he had the power to convene meetings for political purposes, and each curia also had a flamen curialis whose duties were specifically religious.[15] Another duty of the curio maximus was collecting "religious contributions" from the curiae (curionium aes).[16]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curia A curia, plural curiae, is an assembly, council, or court, in which public, official, or religious issues are discussed and decisions made. In ancient Rome, the entire populace was divided into thirty curiae, which met in order to confirm the election of magistrates, witness the installation of priests, the making of wills, and adoptions. Lesser curiae existed for other purposes. The word curia also came to be applied to meeting places where various assemblies gathered, especially the meeting house of the senate. Similar institutions existed in other towns and cities of Italy. In medieval times, a king's council was frequently referred to as a curia.

Today, the most famous curia is the Curia of the

Roman Catholic Church which assists the Roman Pontiff in conducting the business of the Church.[1] http://www.scribd.com/doc/212514451/How-Many-Messiahs-Must-Fall-Before-the-Fall-of-the-Holy-RomanEmpire

Now, under modern Capitalism, J.W. Smith claims fewer than 500 people possess more wealth than half of the earths population, as the wealth of 1/2 of 1-percent of the United States population roughly equal that of the lower 90-percent. http://www.scribd.com/doc/213272084/It-Would-Appear-de-Jure-10-Tithe-Converts-to-90-Tithe-in-de-Facto
