To educate people about the History of the Sacred Merovingian Bloodline which started in Arcadia. This origin starts in Arcadia (Greece).

To understand the History of the Sacred Merovingian Bloodline we have to trace the origins of this Bloodline back to the very beginning. The next stage in their History is the legendary city of Troy. After the destruction of Troy the surviving inhabitants went to find other places to settle, such as the Black Sea, Butrint, Rome etc. They ruled over the Scithians, who were eventually pushed west by

the Huns. Following the Donau river they eventually ended up by following the Rhine river into the Low Countries, (present day Germany and later the Netherlands) where they founded the first settlements, among others the settlements called Frankfurt, Dispargum Castrum (Duisburg), Rotta (Rotterdam). After being pushed out of this region by the Roman Army they eventually settled in Tournai, Belgium and served under the Romans as local Chiefs (Dukes). After the gradual diminishing of the influence of the Romans, the Merovingian Kings (especially Clovis) were able to fully control and expand their Empire to the whole of Francia, (present day France) and parts of Germany, Belgium and the Netherland, with Paris as there Capital, (named in honor of there ancestor the Trojan Prince, Paris).

The father of Pharamund was Frotmund, from the dynasty of the Fisher Kings, going back to King Aminadah and his wife Eurgen. Pharamund was the grandson of Boaz, and Pharamund’s wife, Argotta, was herself descended from King Lucius’ sister Athildis, who married Marcomer (8th in descent from Francio) in about 130 AD. They had three sons: Chlodio, Frotmund, and Fredemundus.

Fredemundus had two sons, Nacien I and Saracint. Nascien became known as the prince of Septimanie; his son was Celedoin, who was the father of Nascien II, who was the father of Chilperic, the father of Clothilde, the second wife of Clovis. He also had two daughters; the elder married a Visigoth king.

Argotta's father, Genebaud, was the last male in his line, so Chlodio, their son, took on the responsibility of looking after the Franks in Gaul. Gregory of Tours states that the Frankish chiefs' dynasty was "from the foremost and most noble line of their race." The descendants of Pharamund and Argotta emerged in the ancient Nazareth tradition to become the "long-haired sorcerer kings."
They accorded special veneration to their successors and were widely known for their esoteric knowledge and occult skills.

Pharamund became king of the West Franks in 419 AD.

The Hebrews (c. 1250 BC) referred to the mashiach (anointed) using the Egyptian word messeh. The Greeks then Hellenized the Hebrew word for "anointed" to "Christos," and the English subsequently changed it to "Messiah" and "Christ." The noun "christos," which means "anointed," comes from the Greek verb "chrio," which means "to smear" or "anoint." In Hebrew tradition, the ceremonial act of pouring holy oil upon either a prophet, king, or priest was to impart the spirit of the Lord. In second-temple Jewish eschatology, the term "Messiah" began to refer to a coming figure from the Davidic line who would deliver the Jews from subjugation and rebuild the temple. The holy oil used in anointing was olive oil mixed with myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, and another ingredient lost to us.

This most sacred material was essentially spiced olive oil. Most Christian traditions still widely use chrism, or spiced olive oil, in their sacraments. The Abrahamic faith places enormous importance on the olive tree. A dove that Noah sends in Genesis returns carrying an olive branch after finding land. The dove holding an olive branch is a Christian symbol for the Holy Spirit. The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit's descent upon Christ. In the Hebrew tradition, the anointed individuals were priests, kings, or prophets.

Legend of Orval:
The wedding ring that had unintentionally fallen into the fountain belonged to Mathilda. As soon as she prayed to the Lord, a trout rose to the surface, holding the priceless ring in its mouth. Mathilda exclaimed, "Truly, this place is a Val d'Or!" In gratitude, she decided to establish a monastery on the site.

Legend of Solomon:
The medieval Middle Eastern writers were primarily responsible for the development of the Seal of Solomon legend, claiming that God had engraved the ring and given it to the king directly from heaven. The ring was made from brass and iron, and the two parts were used to seal written commands to beneficial and evil spirits, respectively. In one tale, a demon—either Asmodeus or Sakhr—obtained possession of the ring and ruled in Solomon's stead for forty days. In a variation of the story of the Polycrates ring from Herodotus, the demon eventually threw the ring into the sea, where a kind fisherman unknowingly fed it to the exiled Solomon, restoring him to power.

Due to the possibility that Mary Magdalene belonged to goddess religions, some people might have considered her to be a "sinner," and the "official" Bible purposefully downplayed her significance because it cast doubt on the authority of the church's male leaders. Mary Magdalene begged young Herod Agrippa II, who was then 17 years old and a former pupil of St. Paul, for protection at some point following the crucifixion of Jesus. In due course, he made arrangements for her to travel to the Herodian estate located in Gaul (France), the place of Herod-Archelaus' exile (39 AD) after his brother Herod-Antipas. Her friendship circle included Joanna (the wife of Chuza), Herod's wealthy business friend, and Mary (the wife of Clopas).

It is evident that Leonardo da Vinci was aware of Mary Magdalene's status as Yeshua's beloved. In his painting The Last Supper from 1498, Yeshua is seated on his right, and all the other figures are facing forward. The female figure has a girlish face, long hair, and lowered eyes. It was considered improper for women to raise their eyes when they were with men back then. Thus, the question arises: Was Leonardo aware, in 1498, that Mary Magdalene was the "favorite" disciple during the Lord's Supper, as John describes it, "resting on Yeshua's bosom"? The biscuit-sized buns and the glasses on the table are also intriguing. Back then, only Egypt and Mesopotamia could produce glassware with the level of purity depicted in the painting. These glasses cost almost as much as gold products. If one saw these glasses on a table, it meant that the people seated there belonged to the upper echelons of society. Small buns, a staple meal common to the Scythian-Hun people, form their bread. It is possible that Italian artists who were acquainted with and frequently worked in the Vatican discovered now-lost writings mentioning these biscuit-sized buns.

Yeshua explains humanity in the Gospel of Philip. "We live in a world where marriage is necessary for both man and the world to survive, which makes marriage a great mystery," he goes on.

Therefore, the early Christian community's perception of Mary Magdalene as Yeshua's lover is not surprising. She is the first person to arrive at Yeshua's tomb "early in the morning, when it was still dark," according to the canonized Gospel of John, and she rushes to warn Peter and the other disciples. This event gives even more support to their marriage status.

Queens or princesses could forge powerful alliances and actually command war bands in a society where warfare was the norm. But at a closer look, the able queens were in a position to make it worthwhile for people to work for them. At the heart of politics, the Merovingian queens effortlessly formed coalitions, cultivated a network of allies, and ascended to the same status as other magnates. It depended on the abilities of these women to create and maintain such coalitions. Although a woman never acted in battle herself, she could still be in the same position as a magnate, even if her power depended on her link with her male relatives.

Even though the queens didn't hold a formal position within the political system, they might act on behalf of their husbands, sons, grandchildren, or great-grandsons. They were able to gain political power in this way. Queens took part in meetings and gave out money and privileges. Both secular and clerical officials received it. They might impact the episcopal elections. When the queens took action, the coalitions they had forged became apparent. Queen Fredegunde gave the Saxons in the Bayeux area instructions to act in accordance with her intentions while vehemently rejecting the kingdom's established policies. Fredegunde sided with the Duke of Champagne. Even so, Queen Brunhild attempted to intervene to stop a war.

In practice, kings would choose their own bishops, or they would vote favorably or unfavorably on applicants. There were several interests involved. The king sought someone he could rely on, someone who would speak for the interests of the people, clergy, and other bishops, and someone who would help the synod of bishops.

A bishop was in charge of the church's vast assets, which included vineyards and villas surrounded by fields. To further complicate things, he was required to separate church property from his personal belongings, particularly after getting married. In addition to not having to pay market tax or customs duties, as stated in charters of immunity, a bishop was in charge of this land and could collect dues at certain locations. The pious had been giving tithes in response to the expansion of the earth's crops and animals, but it wasn't until 585 AD that it became mandatory. All of this property was used to build and maintain churches, assist the underprivileged, pay the clergy, and support the bishop and his family. A few bishops even participated in community service initiatives in their cities.

Bishops often sat at the same table as emperors and Merovingian kings during the imperial dinners held at court during Constantine's reign. The king, the metropolitan, the clerics, or the populace could all expel a bishop. But a bishop could also go to another king and become one of his bishops in a new see.

In late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, ethnicity was not a categorical construct. With shared cultural symbols and origin stories, it was essentially a political and military organization. The Franks had maintained their distinct identities for centuries, eventually becoming a “Frankish identity,” merging all the different influences.

Even though there was little coherence among the various kingdoms and a regional identity had not yet formed, the Merovingian realm's subsequent divisions demonstrate that there was a sense of cohesion throughout. A new division into three parts resulted from the death of King Chlodomer in 524 AD. There were only two kingdoms left after King Theudobald's death in 555 AD, and the former Kingdom of Burgundy was one of them. For three years, after King Childebert I's death in 558 AD, King Chlothar I brought the Merovingian Kingdoms together. In 561 AD, after Chlothar I's death, the kingdom was divided again, this time into four sections.

In the year 567 AD, when there were still three kingdoms, Paris was considered neutral territory.
As the minor kings Childebert II (575 AD) and Chlothar II (584 AD) came to power, the distinct kingdoms' developing identities and territorial unity were first apparent.

Other Merovingian kings were not really permitted to meddle because of a coalition of magnates ruling in their place. The topic of realignment was no longer discussed. Long-lasting regional power systems known as the "Three Kingdoms" began to take shape. These Merovingian kingdoms thought they were no longer a part of the Roman Empire, in contrast to the earlier “barbarian” kingdoms of the fifth century.

Throughout the chaos of the fifth century, both the population and the standard of living declined. Living along the coasts was getting harder and harder because of the rising sea levels, continuous invasions, and looting. The population did not start growing again until the 7th century, when the development of untamed land gave rise to new opportunities for agriculture and cattle rearing.

Because of the fall in Roman city populations, early medieval life was primarily agrarian. Bandits and a lack of law enforcement made long-distance travel too dangerous, leading to a concentration of trade on local markets. Water-based trade once again predominated as the roads constructed by the Romans deteriorated.

Dorestad's early medieval trade routes.

Dorestad gained prominence as a result of its proximity to the Rhine fork and its significance in the northeastern shipping routes, which provided access to northern France, Scandinavia, northern Germany, northern England, and the northern Low Countries.

The Franks and the Frisians fought for about forty years to conquer the riverlands because Dorestad was so important economically. There was a castle that Dagobert I owned in Utrecht.

Agriculture-related goods, pottery, textiles, leather, tools, and weaponry constitute the majority of the traded goods. Most of the copper and brass goods, including jewelry, buckles, and cooking pots, came from the South.

Recognized as the principal progenitor of the Old Dutch language, Dorestad is the most important economic center of the Lower Old Low Franconian language. The word "low" in Old Low Franconian refers to the low countries, where Frankish was largely unaffected by the High German consonant shift and the Ingvaeonic nasal spirant law. Due to the high German consonant shift that occurred throughout western Europe from south to west, the central and high Franconian languages of Germany were distinguished from one another. Thus, the latter would merge with Alemannic, Bavarian, and Lombardic to become Old High German.

EDICT OF MÂCON

The Edict of Mâcon (585 AD) gives us an insightful look at the importance of sacral kingship.

The Second Council of Mâcon took place in the aftermath of the so-called “Gundovald affair." Gundovald, supported by the Byzantine court, claimed the Merovingian throne and received some local support from bishops in Gaul. After his defeat at the hands of King Guntram, the latter persecuted and arrested many bishops who had opted for Gundovald.

This edict stresses the importance of the kingdom as a unified ecclesia, and the king acknowledges his sacral responsibility to God as his earthly representative and the sacred nature of this unified secular and ecclesiastical kingdom by the recognition that all those in power, both secular and ecclesiastical, are obligated to eradicate sin from the kingdom.

The edict addresses all bishops, priests, and judges established in his kingdom.

(Gunthramnus Rex Francorum omnibus pontificibus ac universes sacerdotum et cunctis iudicibus in Regions nostrils constitutes.)

It further stresses the importance of observing God’s mandate. The king clarifies that when sins are committed that are not corrected by either canon or secular law, people will depart not only from their earthly lives more quickly but also from the eternal condemnation of their souls to the fire of eternal punishment.

King Guntram makes it plain that any evil committed within his realm must be atoned for and that all bishops, priests, and judges must cooperate to do so to prevent their souls from being held accountable and sentenced to eternal damnation. The king continues by highlighting how crucial this is, given that God ultimately gives him the authority to rule and that, as king, he will finally stand before God and answer to his final judgment.

He advises all judges to make just decisions because those who displease God by making unfair decisions will face worse punishment from God. Gregory of Tours portrays King Guntram as a noble king with a strong sense of character and high Christian values.

Early in the 2nd century CE, builders built the aqueduct that supplied the Roman settlement, running about 22 kilometers from the Bouillon Spring (now known by its modern name) near the town of Gorze to the southwest. The roads between Lugdunum (Lyon) and Augusta Treverorum (Trier) and between Durocorturum (Reims) and Argentoratum (Strasbourg), which intersected at Divodurum Mediomatricorum, brought importance to the city. Up until the Alamanni invasion in 357 AD, the city was prosperous and unoccupied. Shortly after the Alamanni attack, the Romans transported the spoils and prisoners from their victory over the Alamanni at the Battle of Argentoratum in 357 AD to Divodurum.

The name changed to "Mettis" in the fifth century, which led to the development of the modern spelling, Metz. Metz has been a city for more than 2,000 years. It has always been a significant hub for commerce, administration, strategy, and urban areas. There are two amphitheaters surrounding the city, the largest of which can hold 25,000 people. Various thermal baths, with their complex heating systems, were in use by the city's inhabitants. In 604 AD, Glossinde de Champagne founded a convent in the city. She was the daughter of the Duke of Champagne, Wintrio, chief of the Leudes of Austrasia.

The reign of the last Merovingian king, Childeric III, came to an end in the middle of the year 751 AD. With Pope Zachary's approval, Pippin, the mayor of the royal residence, organized it. Childeric's establishment by the children of Charles Martel in 743 AD finished a five-year interval. This occasion isn't referenced in any of the Carolingian records or narratives, and its date is reasoned based on the dating proviso in Pippin's capitulary for the Council of Soissons (744 AD).

The general consensus is that the Carolingians used Childeric as a puppet. When he was no longer necessary, the civic chairman of the royal residence could discard him. When that time came, Childeric's towering long hair, which was a symbol of his Merovingian aristocratic pride, was cut off and replaced with a formal shaved region. The former king was removed from his position of authority and sent to the St. Bertin religious community after being ejected from his royal home. In the Merovingian tradition, spouses were either locked up or placed in monasteries. Later Carolingian kings married Merovingian princesses to strengthen their monarchical position.

Carolingians would have been able to usurp the throne long before Childeric III. To uphold the legitimacy of his position as Mayor of the Palace, Charles Martel is instead pressured by the nobility to sponsor Merovingian kings into office. Although Merovingian rulers at this time are now referred to as "rois fainéants" (idle kings), they were still very influential in all the governmental aspects of their kingdom; this was obviously politically motivated and written about by later chronicle writers.

Though he was not the first Merovingian king to experience this fate, Childeric was the last. Without precedent in the Frankish historical context, the successor to the seat was clearly not a member of the Merovingian dynasty. Thus, the 296-year rule of the Merovingian Royal House in Gaul/France by 21 kings came to an end.
