Love the vids, but one recommendation: More maps. I know you showed the maps of who was where at the beginning, but it really helps when saying who was fighting who, show the kingdoms, allied with who, show the kingdoms, battle at where, show the place, land was conquered, show the expansion.

I never realized Brittany (or at least the Bretons) was already there when Clovis's career began. In fact, that map at 3:00 has to be between 476 and 481, when Clovis was a kid since Julius Nepos (a former West Roman Emperor) has his little empire in Illyria.
The time of Clovis' vase is still taught in school, I remember it, and I don't remember a lot of things from my history classes. Franks (or Franc in french) made France, Franc was a money before euro, and we are called Français (ç meaning it doesn't sound like a k but more like a s)
I love these videos. I've been a massive fan for years! So much so that I actually made my own channel (it focuses on History as well) thank you for the inspiration!
You should make an episode on the local bishop that asked for the vase! He’s called Saint Remi and he supposedly did dozens of absolutely rediculous miracles. Its basically comedy at this point, but people seemed to believe him. Below the rediculous miracles, you’ll find a shrewd politician and master of propaganda in Saint Remi, he guided Clovis for much of his reign
@@alexmacdonald1998 idiots think that, if you read the story how is he gonna be on the whiter side of the Mediterranean sea. The image never mattered to me because as a child I realized paintings and drawings are the artist imagination. Like all them paintings of Noah in children's books and a child was never supposed to ask how they all fit or why weren't they fighting with each other? Seems simple enough by the story Jesus wasn't Spanish or Italian but Middle Eastern. Side Note Mario Puzzo has a pretty good book that revolves around the Borgias, "The Family". So if you Liked the Godfather or Fools Die I would recommend it.

Either way, feel free to go do some research on the subject or even a google image search and youll see what i mean. And for the record, my opinion is that, much like the easter bunny, Jesus is a fictional character in literature and can thus be any ethnicity the reader chooses.
Tldr: cesare borgia is literally the image most people have of Jesus. His dad, the pope, commisioned the paintings most people associate with the image if Jesus. The statement about believing your eys over your heart is very ironic.
There are people who agree with your goal. 😁 You may be happy to know that Cenk Uygur (host of TYT, which is probably the biggest TH-cam news channel) actually named his son Prometheus Maximus (the kid goes by “Pro”). Cenk said it’s because he likened the idea of being freed from religious dogma to the story of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods. I know Ancient Greece isn’t exactly the era this video is about, but it’s still a very old name that’s rarely used anymore because it’s seen as “Pagan”. Side note: Cenk does really fun news and commentary, I love watching. You may enjoy it too, just search “TYT News” on TH-cam.
Clovis is the founder of the Frankish (and later French) monarchy. He laid the foundation of the Kingdom of the Franks who was centuries later increased by Charlemagne and then split after his death, the western part becoming France we know today. All French Kings were sacred at Reims Cathedral, where Clovis was baptized to mark the continuation of their house since their forefather
@@TheMogregory the coronation of the French King was marked by the coronation with the crown of Charlemagne but also by the anointing or unction of the King. In that sense he was "sacré".
I'm according to LDS records ( I'm Roman Catholic just used their records (a 39th Great Grandson of Charlemagne. I would love to see a deep dive into that dynasty
Unless if you are part of some noble family it is extremely unlikely you have documentation that proves you are directly descended from Charlemagne. That being said, all western Europeans are descended from him anyway, so you are probably correct anyway!
I just hope they don't butcher perhaps the most important man in post Roman European history like they did with good old clovis. Also, that video would have to be long, like super long. Charlemagne was unbelievable

3:07 Romulus Augustulus is a figurehead in hands of a magister militum of barbarian ancestry Orestes (a recurring theme in 3-5 century roman politics obviously), literally nobody outside northern italy considered this boy a Roman Emperor, since Julius Nepos, the legitimate emperor was alive and well in Dalmatia, and eastern emperor Zeno obviously would not recognize the child. So nobody cared when he was «overthrown», nor did ANY of the people living in 476 thought that western empire had «collapsed». The only region where a «collapse» happpened was Brittania, other provinces thought they were still living in the Empire, up until around emperor Justinian's wars (If the emperor declares war on you maybe he doesn't consider you his subject so you aren't really living in the Empire?) or the empress Irene, whom the Pope considered to be illegitimate, later crowning Charlemagne.

'Germanic speaking' Franks. What a strange formulation. Of course they were. And everything else about them was Germanic too. What else would it have been?
Because the latin-gallic, short, dark haired Frenchies want to claim Frankish heritage badly. Truth is, Frankish language is called 'old dutch' for a reason, the Salians were dutch, tall blond germanics and the ripurii were Germans. But the French arrogance never fails to amaze.
@@soapbrick9482, neither Flemish nor Dutch existed in the time of the Franks. The Dutch language derives from Low Franconian, the speech of the Western Franks. Old Dutch is regarded as the primary stage in the development of a separate Dutch language. It was spoken by the descendants of the Salian Franks who occupied what is now the southern Netherlands, northern Belgium, part of northern France, and parts of the Lower Rhine regions of Germany.

Hlodowick’s parents: “Let’s name him something masculine… strong sounding! Like ‘Renowned in Battle’!” Europeans speaking watered down Latin based languages: “How about Clovis? That sounds manly enough.”
The hope of the historian where documentaries like this one are concerned is that the viewer/listener will be inspired to investigate on their own and learn more as it is impossible to roll out all of the mitigating information that cannot be presented in such a format. One quick note is that Clothilde is spelled with the silent "h" as perhaps a hint of Frankish as the origin of the silent consonants so common in modern French. The later common German name Hilda was an abbreviation of that name and a few other Frankish names, such as Brunhilda, Mathilda, etc. But more important is to understand that 100% of the Christian explanations for conversions are later inserts. Christian scribes were far less historians than they were propagandists (and still are). Constantine certainly converted to Christianity, but since he also remained a pagan and took part in its public festivals, it was clearly a political move, also demonstrated by other of Constantine's incidental events and actions. That his mother was a Christian is certain. It is she who sailed to Palestine and picked out the various sites and routes that today are held as factual locations of "Christ's Passion," including his birthplace. Note that Bethlehem did not even exist in the first century. Similarly, Clovis converted for political advantage, and probably to satiate his wife. Even though Rome was a fallen empire, the name still came with a certain regal cache'. The Roman Church was ruthlessly gaining power in Italy and alliance with it was also wise. Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is regarded as THE source for this period until the final fall of the Eastern Empire in 1400 CE.
"Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is regarded as THE source for this period until the final fall of the Eastern Empire in 1400 CE." ---> Maybe 1 or 2 centuries ago, but it's a little bit outdated... Also, Gibbon's work is not a "source" but a historian work... that's different.
Hmmmm, not surprising that somebody who regards Gibbon as authoritative would make statements like this. However I agree with the other commenters - Gibbon’s views are quite dated and have definitely fallen out of favor with modern historians who have access to more research and better sources.
@@accaciagame1706 That is certainly wrong. You have to decide if it is about places or tribes. Were the people in the land following the leader or are they occupied? And if you want to put modern state names on it you have to be right as well. Wasn't the most prominent name of a city cologne? Where did that name giving Franks live?
@@wolfgangpagel6989 The Franks mean different thing at different time. They were a migratory tribes that assimilated with the locals. Their ultimate origin is not that known. The Franks settled down in Northern France, Belgium and Luxembourg before and after the fall of the Roman empire and mixed with the locals to form essentially the ethnic French. They adopted Catholicism and some the local language. They then conquered the pagans tribes and Occitania, southern France. The Western Germans are somehow Frankish too but many other tribes coexisted including the old Germanized Gallic tribes there. Northern France, Belgium, Netherland and Western Germany are essentially the same people speaking different languages.
@@accaciagame1706 That is not true at all. The Franks are a very well known megatribe. It always means the same. Except you mix it up with the Frankish empire, there you have a Western and an Eastern one. The Franks did enlarge their kingdom by swallowing up other ones, mostly other German tribes and some Roman leftovers. There are no known Gallic kingdoms. The Germanic tribes included Goths, Aleman, Burgundians, Langobards (Lombards), Bavarian, Thuringian, Saxon and others. Now the great parting past Karolus Magnus cutted the Franks essentially along the line of romanisation. So you could say that the today French are a mix of romanised Germans, Romans and Gauls, mixed with others. We should not forget other tribes as the Britons, Belger, Frisian, Helveter and others. Also the languages of BeNeLux and Western Germany are Germanic, almost dialects. But the Bretons are from Britain and their language is from there.
Gaul was a political entity created by Julius Caesar. Before the Roman invasion, the Gauls had never formed a united and independent political entity, just as the Germanic tribes before the invasion of Charlemagne. Gaul was only a territory of the Roman Empire. France is the political continuity of the Frankish kingdom (Empire), just as Germany is the continuity of the Holy Roman Empire.

Europeans speaking watered down Latin based languages: “How about Clovis? That sounds manly enough.”
Lodewijk and Ludwig then
The hope of the historian where documentaries like this one are concerned is that the viewer/listener will be inspired to investigate on their own and learn more as it is impossible to roll out all of the mitigating information that cannot be presented in such a format. One quick note is that Clothilde is spelled with the silent "h" as perhaps a hint of Frankish as the origin of the silent consonants so common in modern French. The later common German name Hilda was an abbreviation of that name and a few other Frankish names, such as Brunhilda, Mathilda, etc. But more important is to understand that 100% of the Christian explanations for conversions are later inserts. Christian scribes were far less historians than they were propagandists (and still are). Constantine certainly converted to Christianity, but since he also remained a pagan and took part in its public festivals, it was clearly a political move, also demonstrated by other of Constantine's incidental events and actions. That his mother was a Christian is certain. It is she who sailed to Palestine and picked out the various sites and routes that today are held as factual locations of "Christ's Passion," including his birthplace. Note that Bethlehem did not even exist in the first century. Similarly, Clovis converted for political advantage, and probably to satiate his wife. Even though Rome was a fallen empire, the name still came with a certain regal cache'. The Roman Church was ruthlessly gaining power in Italy and alliance with it was also wise. Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is regarded as THE source for this period until the final fall of the Eastern Empire in 1400 CE.
Wow so many lies in this statement.
"Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is regarded as THE source for this period until the final fall of the Eastern Empire in 1400 CE."
---> Maybe 1 or 2 centuries ago, but it's a little bit outdated... Also, Gibbon's work is not a "source" but a historian work... that's different.
Hmmmm, not surprising that somebody who regards Gibbon as authoritative would make statements like this. However I agree with the other commenters - Gibbon’s views are quite dated and have definitely fallen out of favor with modern historians who have access to more research and better sources.
OP did not do his research
Aleman (Al-ee-Man) to this day is the Spanish word for German.
Least violent frankish king:
It is certainly wrong to declare the kingdom of the Franks to be France. It has the same quality like comparing it to the Gauls.
France or Northern France and Belgium were the core. The rest were conquered kingdoms later added.
@@accaciagame1706 That is certainly wrong. You have to decide if it is about places or tribes. Were the people in the land following the leader or are they occupied? And if you want to put modern state names on it you have to be right as well. Wasn't the most prominent name of a city cologne? Where did that name giving Franks live?
@@wolfgangpagel6989 The Franks mean different thing at different time. They were a migratory tribes that assimilated with the locals. Their ultimate origin is not that known. The Franks settled down in Northern France, Belgium and Luxembourg before and after the fall of the Roman empire and mixed with the locals to form essentially the ethnic French. They adopted Catholicism and some the local language. They then conquered the pagans tribes and Occitania, southern France. The Western Germans are somehow Frankish too but many other tribes coexisted including the old Germanized Gallic tribes there. Northern France, Belgium, Netherland and Western Germany are essentially the same people speaking different languages.
@@accaciagame1706 That is not true at all. The Franks are a very well known megatribe. It always means the same. Except you mix it up with the Frankish empire, there you have a Western and an Eastern one. The Franks did enlarge their kingdom by swallowing up other ones, mostly other German tribes and some Roman leftovers. There are no known Gallic kingdoms. The Germanic tribes included Goths, Aleman, Burgundians, Langobards (Lombards), Bavarian, Thuringian, Saxon and others. Now the great parting past Karolus Magnus cutted the Franks essentially along the line of romanisation. So you could say that the today French are a mix of romanised Germans, Romans and Gauls, mixed with others. We should not forget other tribes as the Britons, Belger, Frisian, Helveter and others.
Also the languages of BeNeLux and Western Germany are Germanic, almost dialects. But the Bretons are from Britain and their language is from there.
Gaul was a political entity created by Julius Caesar. Before the Roman invasion, the Gauls had never formed a united and independent political entity, just as the Germanic tribes before the invasion of Charlemagne. Gaul was only a territory of the Roman Empire. France is the political continuity of the Frankish kingdom (Empire), just as Germany is the continuity of the Holy Roman Empire.
