Support the channel: https://boosty.to/simpleaboutart Thank you!❤️ Everything you need to know about the Carolingians and Charlemagne's empire from its founding to its collapse in 5 short videos. This is a four-part series. This is part 1, where I explain: 1) How it all began – how the Frankish kingdom and other barbarian kingdoms arose – the Lombards, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and others (after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire). What made the Frankish kingdom so special. 2) About the first ruling dynasty of the Franks – the Merovingians (the long-haired kings). 3) How power passed from the Merovingians to the Carolingians 4) About the most significant representatives of this dynasty before Charlemagne (Pippin the Short, Charles Martel) and their victories (Pippin's Donation, the Battle of Poitiers in 732 (also known as the Battle of Tours, when the Franks defeated the Saracens), and conflicts with the Lombards. 5) How Charlemagne (not yet the Great) came to possess this kingdom Detailed timestamps: 0:00 Introduction.

I'm convinced that to truly UNDERSTAND art, you need to know history, mythology, and culture. At least at a basic level. Because art always reflects society and historical events. Without history, there is simply no art. And two – you don't have to like it or not like it!!! (What a revelation, huh? 😁) You just need to understand it to understand how society (how WE have changed) has changed over the centuries and to understand why it is what it is now. And that means understanding why WE are what we are! Why Europe (including our country) is like this and not another. It's like with IT or finance - you may not like it and you may NOT be an expert. But you MUST have basic knowledge simply to fully live in the modern world. Same here! 😎 #Charlemagne #CharlemagneEmpire #HistoryOfTheMiddleAges
