法國歷史 三 墨洛溫王朝 13 卡洛曼

I'm practicing singing those classic songs that everyone knows A que-que-que whistling follows in the aftermath of the fall Imagination isn't so easy in the healing lab The Merovingian dynasty Carloma The lone lamp still burns tears of wax drip onto the jade plate A tranquil night in the year 976 The light shimmers on the dragon-embroidered bank the palace stands before the imperial street—within the capital city of Kaifeng the Great Song Empire Whispers in the hall echo and spiral the east wind outside the window fades the palace night grows cold voices call from the mansion below still as the heavens' ninefold gates Flames flicker wildly in the wind candlelight wavers between bright and dim Flickering shadows caress the sound of time as years carry away grudges and kindness alike The next day at court the ministers were astonished to find the official in charge of personnel affairs humble yet diligent wielding great authority Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi brother of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne from the imperial dragon throne after Emperor Taizu's sudden death during the night Meanwhile Zhao Kuangyin's biological sons were ennobled as princes In 741 Charles the Hammer passed away Charles the Hammer's concubine bore him three additional sons The eldest son Carloman inherited the Austrasia palace office Carloman and his wife the younger son Pippin the Short became mayor of the Neustria palace office Beneath the Palace of Austrasia these two sons were born to Charles Martel and his first wife later Charles Martel married a second wife A princess from Bavaria gave birth to a son named Grieff As the legitimate heir Gryff was furious You two are like turtles eating turtles—no family loyalty at all Gryff stirred up rebellion Charles and Pippin the Short quickly seized their younger brother shaved his head and locked him away in a monastery Carloman and Pippin the Short divided their father's inheritance At the same time the two brothers realized an important truth: Charley the Hammer could command the room Neither of them had military honors But the young men aren't ready yet—regional military governors are growing increasingly powerful across the land Duke Hornard of Aquitaine is Odo's son In 735 he inherited his father's dukedom that same year Charles Martel led an army to Bordeaux to knight him The Merovingian dynasty was one that revered military might Indeed Horand did not reemerge until after the death of Hammer Charles and in 742 Horand led a rebellion alongside Bavaria and the Alemanni Duke Odilo of Bavaria was originally the son of the Duke of the Alemanni following the extinction of the previous line of Bavarian dukes In 737 he succeeded to Bavaria—a move more akin to intimidation than a grand display of power Austria thus became the brother-in-law of Carloman and the subject of ridicule by Pippin the Short yet this did not alter his desire for autonomy When Hornard contacted Audilo the two immediately hit it off Duke Alarmanus Theudobald was Audilo's older brother The older brother of the two men Lanfrandus had also been the Duke of the Alamanni to appease Othelo Hammer Charles had betrothed his daughter to him When Hrodgaud of Altdorf rebelled Theudobald also came to lend his support in 742 he invaded the Duchy of Alsace The Saxon chieftain Theodric was purely opportunistic as the Saxons had not yet been incorporated into the Frankish system Even outside the Christian framework because it was crushed by Charles the Hammer after 730 years of independence Theodoric halted the tribute payment in the face of opposition from the feudal lords of Guanzhong Caroman and Ezzepin had to first establish a clear political stance In the past Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor to establish his authority and installed Emperor Xian of Han Before that the Saxons had to pay 800 cattle annually to the Franks Let's make one ourselves The father of Childeric III is unknown but he was definitely of pure Merovingian royal blood He was the last monarch of the Merovingian dynasty With the king's title in place Carloman and Pippin began to act with greater freedom Thus Childeric III became king The night snow swirls boats drift across iron horses gallop in autumn wind the great umbrella dims Occupied the Roche region then marched eastward to attack Bavaria an ally of Aquitaine thoroughly defeating Austria but due to intervention by his wife the situation changed The two elder brothers retained his title from the royal academy First in 742 Carloman assisted Pippin on his southern campaign against Aquitaine After southern stability was somewhat secured In 744 Pippin defeated and captured Duke Drogos then the two brothers marched east and defeated the Alemanni in 745 Carloman launched another campaign into Alemannia The sole objective this time was the assimilation of the Alamanni he dissolved the Kingdom of Alamannia and erased the name Alamanni entirely In 743 Pippin aided Carloman's northern campaign against the Saxons From then on the Duchy of Swabia was established In 745 Carloman and Pippin again led a campaign against Duke Hunald of Aquitaine Hornad ultimately surrendered unconditionally handing over the hostages and taxes Soon after he entered a monastery and the dukedom passed to Alzweiver Renaming the region after the Germanic Suebi tribe Settled in St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City In 756 the Lombards attacked the city of Rome Former military commander Hildebrand organized the defense However due to the overwhelming enemy forces Hornard不幸 fell in battle that is another story altogether In fact Karloman had already reached the altar of the gods earlier than Hornard In 746 efforts were made to completely eliminate the threat posed by the Alamanni in 752 Hunaard embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome Thousands of nobles were executed during the meeting the Alemanni were assimilated by the Franks but the act of killing filled Carloman with remorse He could not shake off his guilt so in 747 Carloman resigned from his position as mayor of the palace and went to Rome to confess his sins The Roman Pope disowned his family to become a monk Caroman summoned the noble lords of the Alamanni to a meeting in Cantstad The mayor of the palace in Austrasia was succeeded by his son Drogo who could have lived in peace with his uncle Pippin the Short However in 748 Charlemagne was born to Pepin the Short breaking the alliance between them as Pepin began to focus on his own family's interests now that he had a son of his own Pepin the Short first relaxed his grip on his half-brother Carloman who settled in Italy Gryff fled顺势 escaped and sought refuge with Duke Theodo of Bavaria one year later in 749 Duke Theodo of Bavaria passed away Griff took control of the Duchy of Bavaria but as the mantis strikes the oriole waits behind—Pepin the Short had precisely intended for Griff to stir up chaos In 750 Pippin the Short marched into Bavaria drove out Grifo and ended Grifo's surveillance That is his own nephew Tassilo became Duke of Bavaria after all this turmoil Bavaria fully aligned itself with Neustria Pepin the Short's power and prestige far surpassed that of his nephew Drogo of Austrasia In 751 Pippin the Short wrote to Pope Zachary asking for guidance then legitimizing the coronation of the son of Childeric III What should the prime minister do Rome was under attack by the Lombards and the Papal Court was merely holding on by sheer will The Pope's understanding reply Who labors for Frank is his master if China's abdication requires ascending the altar to ritually inform heaven then Pippin the Short was directly appointed by God Thus the last king Childeric III was tonsured and became a monk If a king neglects state affairs Pepin the Short established the new Carolingian dynasty whether Drogo was the mayor of Austrasia or not no longer mattered—he was now a subject Drogo and Griff tried to resist the dwarf Pippin resulting in one being forced into monastic life and the other being killed in the year 753 However at this time Charlemagne's brother Carloman was still alive In 754 Carloman returned to Francia marking the formal end of the Pippinid dynasty Caroman did not want to return to the city either in order to save his son's life he did not risk his brother's life he passed away in France the same year and Grod lived out the rest of his days in peace But his own son Drogo had fallen into the hands of the dwarf Pippin
