The History of the Franks Part 5 : Pepin and Charles Martel(679 - 741)

LEGEND -Nations that are not Aquitaine & Provence, and they have cities are allies of the Frankish kingdom(s) -names with a grey box + image indicates that the person is a Merovingian -red names here are Pepinids (later Carolingians) -Mayorship borders are outlined with light blue -The lands in the Eastern Frontier are Frankish presence and settlements, -The striped lands in modern day Netherlands are heavy Frankish influence and presence via settlements and archeology present there. -While striped lands in other cases show presence of an army. -Arrows represents a vague direction of an army -A dark grey polity is to denote rebels of the Franks -- (For the Rhone valley invasions during the 720s)- The invasions up the Rhone by the Arabs may have been confused by medieval chroniclers as multiple taken from the same campaign of 725 *(Oct. 732) - The raid into Arles seems to be mentioned in some sources but others completely leave it out, convincing me that its factuality is disputed **(Summer 737) The chronicle of Fredegar states that Charles devastated the Septimanian cities after the siege of Narbonne, I mapped the Frankish path through Roman roads (as they were still in use for quick transportation) showing these cities to be occupied BEFORE the siege of Narbonne. Parisis* - I'm not really sure what to call Grifo's realm, with the only mayorship under his lot is Paris, historically under the king's authority, but said king is vacant. - My main source for this video is from Minois, Georges. Charles Martel. Canada: Place des éditeurs, 2020. I have also greatly used http://www.francia.ahlfeldt.se/index.php (You need it to be http for the site to function) For the Eastern Frontier this is an amazing database: https://earlymedievaleurope.org/sites...
