  • Who was Childeric I and why is he such an important figure among the Merovingians?
    In this video, we're going to cover the history of Childeric I. This will include his rule during the final days of the western roman empire and his place in the Merovingian dynasty. In addition, we will also cover how Childeric historically has come to symbolize the transition between the roman empire and the early middle ages in western Europe.
    This video is part of a collaboration between a group of really awesome RUclipsrs were we cover the history of the Merovingians.

    Half Roman. Half "Barbarian". Very cool that you chose this king and showed the connection between the ancient world and the medieval world.

      Schooling often gets in the way of our education. I learned more history, science, and the world after getting a library card. Only good thing in school was the 3 R's.
      Homeschooling is a great thing, but not all families have the money or time to teach their kids.

    Childeric also fought the Saxons and Alamanni in his military career. Also, Childeric was not the first king of the Franks, but a king of the Salian Franks, it was his son Clovis that was the first Frankish king as he united all of the Frankish tribes together. Great video though! Shame there's not many videos on Childeric and the early Franks.

      This is the first usage of bees in a symbolic and perhaps religious manner. But because there is no written documentation or oral passed on lore of what these bees signify, it is also a bit of a mystery or canondrum.

    In fact Napoleon wore some of the actual "golden bee" broches on his coronation cloak. Not only embroidered.
    (Quotation marks because art historians think they rather showed cicadae then bees.)
    The grave of Childeric I had been discovered 1635.
    The precious grave goods/treasures where taken by the then-austrian noble of the region.
    Traded up the food chain to the Habsburg rulers of austria.
    And gifted to Napoleon by Leopold II hundreds of years later. (who had some copies and recordings made before sending them to paris, which is why we still know how some of it looked.)
    So Napoleon actually wore 1400 years old frankish kings gold on his mantle when he was crowned.
    Later on some thieves stole the whole treasure in paris, melted down the gold and dumped the rest in the Seine. ☹

    I'm doing my own heritage research, and - as all Europeans ;) - I found out Charlemagne is in my forefathers (not really taking this for granted of course). Therefore, Clovis and Childeric are too. And this is a part of history I never learned much about, so I'm just googling this now. I think a bit later in time some of the wives got captured by Atilla the Hun, and a lot of murdering was going on. What an exciting life my ancestors had :P :D

    The Idea of Roman Emporial Power became a political ideal for a very long time. Probably because the Romans ran their well organised and very rich and powerful empire for such a long time.
    The actual difference of being a tribal leader or a king was in those days sometimes debatable. So to boost yourself up as a real powerful king, you used Roman attributes of power which evetybody knew. But actually you were a tribal warlord.

    GENESIS 4:1 (exhaustive) And Adam knew Hava his wife, who had desired the angel; and she conceived, and bare Kain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the angel of the Lord. And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel (Abel). TARGUM (exhaustive) who had desired the angel; and she conceived, and bear Kain; And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel (Abel). Genesis 3:14-15 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals;upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Fruit is the Hebrew word pirchach,, meaning progeny, brood, children or descendants. Genesis 3:3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
