A Gallo-Roman magnate named Arididius, one of Gundobad's advisors, staged his desertion and persuaded Clovis to accept an annual tribute in exchange for Gundobad's resignation as joint king of the Burgundians. Following Clovis's departure, Gundobad betrayed his brother and besieged Vienne (500–501 AD). Godegesil's death led to the city's collapse. After this, Gundobad and Clovis reconciled, and the Burgundians supported Clovis in his Visigoth battle.

Afterwards, Clovis intended to battle the Visigoths and their monarch, Alaric, primarily for being heretics (A***n Christians). King Alaric convened the Council of Agde, a convocation of the Catholic bishops of the Visigoth Kingdom, on September 10, 506 AD, with the aim of reconciling with his Roman Catholic subjects. He intends to accomplish this in order to bring peace back among the people under his authority.

Theodoric I, King of the Italian Ostrogoths, exerted pressure on him until he realized the futility of his repressive policy against the Catholics. Nevertheless, Clovis declares war after seeing an opportunity to enlarge his realm. Theodoric was Alaric's ally, but Theodoric owed his allegiance to the Empire, which had facilitated his rise to power, so Theodoric was unable to help Alaric. Theodoric, like Alaric, was an A***n Christian, while Anastasius was a Nicean (or Trinitarian) Christian, as Clovis now is. Anastasius would not, under any circumstances, allow an A***n king to support another A***n ruler against a "true Christian" such as Clovis. Even if Anastasius had not intervened, however, it is unlikely that Theodoric could have joined the battle against Clovis, as he was married to Clovis's sister, Audofleda, in 492 AD.

Aristotle, mention the Pelasgians (an early people sometimes linked to Arcadia) in his Meteorologica, saying they inhabited the region in remote antiquity. But he doesn’t tie this to the Moon’s absence. The leap to “before the Moon appeared” could be a poetic flourish or a misreading of someone like Pausanias, who in his Description of Greece (Book 8) describes Arcadia’s ancient cults and myths, including worship of pre-Olympian deities like Pan.

The chronicle of Frédégaire, which first mentions the Franks' Trojan origin, does not mention Sicambria. It only appears in Gesta Regum Francorum, also called Liber Historiae Francorum. An unknown Neustrian monk penned this historic work in 727 AD, shortly after the chronicle of Frédégaire. The author first tells us that King Aeneas had reigned in Tulum and that, after the capture of Troy, he fled to Italy, where he founded a new kingdom.

The other medieval source in which we find the name of the town, Sicambria, reports a similar story in essence but very different in details. This source is the fantastic Cosmography of Aethicus, a romantic compilation from the 8th or 9th century.

This one claims that Romulus initially destroyed Europe before defeating the Trojans, who were the offspring of the first powerful dynasty and had established a new rule a second time while passing through Asia Minor. Subsequently, they formed an alliance with the Albanians, also known as Albani, and suffered another defeat in the Istria highlands (Balkans). The Albanians returned home, but Francus and Yassus, the Trojan kings, left their country after the Romans had conquered it and went to Rhaetia and Germania, where they established the city of Sicambria.

On the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, approximately halfway between the ruins of the Acropolis in Athens and those of the Colosseum in Rome, lie the ruins of a string of colonies the Hellenes established on Illyrian soil—in what is now the country of Albania. These Hellenes founded colonies not only on the Adriatic Coast but also on the Black Sea, Sicily, North Africa, and other parts of the Mediterranean.

The Byzantine church in Kalambaka (built on the site of an old Apollo Temple) was very likely a secret safe place to hide part of the Templars' gold. The gold was used in their “banking” system, where people could deposit valuables in one place and receive in return a paper check, which could be used to withdraw money elsewhere.

The Knights Templar used sacred symbols and covert codes to mark their buildings. The Byzantine church is replete with Templar symbology, both inside and outside.

On the southwest corner of the church’s outside wall, there are two triangular marble stones. The one on the left is carved with two opposing snakes, while on the other side is depicted the sun god, also known as "Helios’ by the ancient Greeks.

There are no visible snakeheads carved on the upper part. This arrangement seems odd, but the mythical figure Abraxas has a similar style. Abraxas is an Egyptian sun god adopted by early Christians and Gnostics as the ruler of the “first heaven” who had dominion over the cycles of birth, death, and resurrection. In the system of the gnostic Basilides, the name Abraxas’s meaning was “Great Archon," the supreme ruler of all creation.

We can find the name Abraxas in the Holy Book of the ‘Great Invisible Spirit’ and in the Greek ‘Magical Papyri.’ His name was engraved in amulets and ancient gemstones.
The early Church father, Basilides, states that he was the creator of three hundred and sixty-five heavenly realms. The seven letters spelling Abraxas represent the seven classical planets: the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Usually, artists depict him with a man's torso, an animal's head, and two snakes for feet. He is always associated with the sun disc, or Helios.

The depiction of Abraxas, with seven stars around him, was used by the Knights Templar as one of their official seals.

Furthermore, the purposeful construction of a sealed door between two rectangular reliefs carries a deep alchemical meaning. Such alchemical doorways always represent a secret passage, a gateway to other realms; they also represent secret knowledge, safely placed and guarded behind the sealed door. This sealed door depiction is similar to the Royal Arch of the Freemasons.

The nearby town of Trikala, which was the birthplace of Aesculapius, son of the god Apollo, the "father" of modern medicine, is also associated with snakes.

In the biblical story of the exodus from Egypt, the Israelites were complaining about God, who then sent his “fiery serpents” among them. Moses was instructed to erect a “serpent of bronze” that healed those who looked upon it. (numbers 21:4-9).

The New Testament Gospel of John, written about sixty years after Jesus' death, declares that Jesus is God in human form—God descending into the world to save humanity from sin. Those who believe in him, John says, are saved; God condemns all others to eternal torment.

But the discoveries show very different versions of Jesus' message—some coming from our earliest sources. Now we can see that the author of the Gospel of John was writing to refute other, earlier teachings that he regarded as threatening and wrong, like the teaching found in the Gospel of Thomas.

This gospel, then, and many others in the same collection suggest a kind of egalitarian, "do it yourself" Christianity, which bishops like Irenaeus decided was antithetical to his project of building a single, authoritative "catholic church," outside of which, he insisted, "there is no salvation."

After Christianity became the official religion of the Holy Roman Empire, the emperor endorsed the bishops' authority, along with the first official creed—the "Nicene creed," hammered out at a meeting of bishops convened by Constantine—and the books in the New Testament canon, as the sole authority for divine truth.

The Serapeum temple and library in Alexandria were destroyed in 389 AD for fear of leaving any trace of the concoction. It was destroyed by Christians at the instigation of Theodosius, Ambrosius, and Theophilus. Their motives were mixed, with each of the leaders having a different aim.

The object of the concoctors themselves was to sustain and continue the ancient faith by transplanting it to new soil and engraving it on Judaism. Theophilus wanted to make the new religion seem independent and the antagonist of the old. Ambrose destroyed the library to confuse the A***ns by making it appear that Christianity had an entirely supernatural origin.

The great loss, then, is not that of the first but that of the second library of Alexandria. The Serapeum was destroyed by Christians in order to prevent the human origins of their religion from being ascertained. The object was to have it believed that it all centered on one particular, actual person and was not collected and compiled from a multiplicity of sources.

Christianity, which appeared in the first century, was considered another version of Judaism. In the vast pagan ocean, which extended to the Roman Empire, the early Christians were seen only as a group of Jewish sects who failed to establish their kingdom at the hands of their leader (the Savior), who rebelled against the Roman state, so he was punished like one.

Christianity crystallized in the form of an independent religion and doctrine separate from Judaism only after passing through Egypt, which gave it its most important components.

The Order of Antrustion's vision is to raise awareness and be a catalyst for the purpose of re-establishing our Western civilization based on ancient knowledge, respect, trust, integrity, service to nature and mankind, and acknowledgment of our higher connection and origins.

Mission

Informing people of the origin and true history of the Merovingian bloodline on Earth and the spiritual suppression that has been inflicted upon mankind on this planet, which continues to this day

Real History

We gain tremendous power by understanding the truth of our history and its relevance to the present. The truth sets us free from ignorance and the almost suicidal present policies, which are influential and deeply ingrained in the very fabric of our modern culture.

Dagobert I had settled in Paris around 631 AD. He rejected his wife, Gomatrudis, and married the Neustrian Nanthilde. In the same year, one of his concubines, Ragnetrude, a young Austrasian girl and the niece of Nanthild, had a son, Sigebert III. Dagobert married a total of five times and also had numerous concubines. (Polygamy was common among the Merovingians.) Nanthild, Wulfegundis, Berchildis, Gomatrude, and Ragnetrude are the names of the queens. Gomatrude was the sister of his father's third wife, Sigihild. They married in 625 AD and divorced in 629 AD because the marriage was childless.

He traveled to all of his states—Neustria, Austrasia, and Burgundy—to oversee his agents, hear complaints from his subjects, and administer justice at home. He is incredibly well-liked by his people, thanks to his amazing and inventive approach. He also encouraged the clergy by increasing the number of churches and monasteries, to which he granted franchises and benefits, which earned him the support of great prelates like Saint Aloi and Saint Ouen. Externally, he led successful conquests; in 637 AD, he repressed, thanks to an army of Burgundians and Franks, a revolt of the Gascons, who submitted, as did the Breton King Judicael.

The duke of the Basques came to his court to swear fidelity, and at his villa at Clichy, the chief of the Bretons of Domnoné promised obedience. He intervened in the affairs of the Visigoths of Spain and the Lombards of Italy and was heard with deference. Indeed, as a sovereign, Dagobert was reckoned superior to the other barbarian kings. Some of his subjects killed and plundered some Frankish merchants in Samo's territory in 631 AD. Dagobert immediately sent an ambassador named Sicharius to demand reparation, but Samo appears never to have admitted him to an audience.
At last, however, Sicharius managed to get into the royal presence by disguising himself and his attendants in Slavonic dress, and he then delivered the message entrusted to him. Without a doubt, Samo responded truthfully, stating that both parties had inflicted injuries and that an investigation into similar injuries was necessary to achieve mutual satisfaction. This answer, though dignified and fair, was not what Sicharius expected to hear, and, losing the command of his temper, he began, "Like a foolish ambassador, so, to utter words that were not contained in his instructions."
Among other things, he said that both Samo and his subjects owed allegiance and service to the Frankish monarch, to which the King of the Slaves replied with calmness, "And the territory which we possess shall be Dagobert's, and we will be his people if he is disposed to be at peace with us." This soft answer did not turn away the wrath of the emissary, who was very probably directed to promote the misunderstanding, and he insultingly replied that it was not possible for Christians, the servants of God, to contract an alliance with dogs. "If," said Samo, with dignified sarcasm, "you are the servants of God, and we are his dogs, so long as you act against Him, we have received permission to tear you."

Bernard of Clairvaux thought of the Cathars: "No one was more Christian when questioned. As to their conversations, nothing can be less reprehensible, and what they speak, they prove by deeds. As for the morals of the heretics, they cheat no one, they oppress no one, and they strike no one."

The Cathar prophecy is that the laurel will return after 700 years.

On This Day in 330 AD, May 11: Constantinople (formerly Byzantium) was declared the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Originally established around 530 BC, the Roman Empire was in decline when Byzantium was chosen as the new capital. This shift occurred after Emperor Diocletian, in 330 AD, divided the empire into Eastern and Western segments. Byzantium, then renamed Nova Roma or "New Rome" by Emperor Constantine the Great, underwent a final renaming on May 11, 330, to Constantinople, after the emperor himself.

This city would go on to serve as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire for over a thousand years following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. This transformation begs the question: How did Byzantion, a modest ancient Greek colony situated in the eastern Mediterranean, ascend to the capital of the vast Roman Empire?

the simple lifestyle of the Cathar clergy, the simplicity and accessibility of the faith ensured its success, especially in the south of France. The underlying freedom movement and the quality of spiritual care for ordinary people stimulated the rapid adoption of the Cathar Faith. The inevitable suppression by the Roman Catholic Church and the powerless actions by local governments generated some of the most important events in European history against the Albigensians. In the end, it is estimated that close to one million people became victims of this tragedy.

The Roman Catholic Church, understandably, feared that their existence in all of Europe was at stake. It certainly was not just an isolated event in the south of France. The success of the Cathar (faith) movement was most apparent in many letters and documents from that era. These documents mention Catholic priests openly supporting the Cathar faith, churches that were being neglected, and in some cases, not enough money was coming into the churches, as well as nobles failing to protect the Roman Catholic Church.
Result: less money, less power, fewer followers, and a loss of reputation. Leaders of the local Catholic Church requested assistance from Rome. Reading these documents, there was certainly a level of exaggeration and forgery of events. One thing is for sure: Cathar clergy were extremely well spoken and challenged the Catholic priests with their deep knowledge of the Bible, and by using the logic of Aristotle, they managed to outmaneuver the Catholic priests, and rightly so; the Cathar Church was the real apostolic successor of the early Christian Church instead of the dogmas, theological changes, and militaristic nature of the Roman Catholic Church.

In the Pyrenean cathedral of St. Bertrand-de-Comminges, Lilith has found her way into a church; a carving there depicts a winged, bird-footed woman giving birth to a Dionysian figure, a Green Man.

This explains why the Knights Templar had such a mystical aura surrounding them. These teachings date back to the time of the Egyptian Mystery Schools of Pharaoh Tuthmosis III (1468–1436 BC). Pythagoras and Plato then advanced them, as recorded in the Wisdom of Lamech and the Tablet of Hermès.

The Essenes of Qumran used these teachings through their Egyptian Therapeutes connection.

The Samaritan Magi were also allied to these Egyptian Therapeutes and their Gnostic leader, Simon Zelotes, who was a lifelong confederate of Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene’s grandfather, Menahem, founded the Magi in 44 BC. The symbol of the therapeutic healers was the serpent.

The Egyptians believed that a type of beetle native to their country (Scarabaeus sacer) reproduced without the female s*x; they observed the mode of reproduction in the balls of dung that the beetles periodically put before them. As a result, they committed this insect to their deity of beginning and creation, and monuments and documents depict the god Ptah with a beetle on his shoulders instead of a human head. Monuments depict him as the god of the beginning, resembling a child or dwarf, wrapped in mummy casings and holding symbols of dominion such as the whip and scepter, or the so-called Nile gauge, a ring with parallel crossbars, symbolizing his role as the giver of measure, order, and law. He also sports a green hue, seemingly signifying his affinity for vegetation and his ability to fertilize it.

Thus, Ptah was one of the forms through which the Egyptians summoned the Creator, the supreme god. The Berlin Museum currently houses a pillar of Memphis from the eighteenth dynasty, depicting him as "the only unbegotten begetter in the heavens and on the earth," "the god who made himself to be god, who exists by himself, the double being, the begetter of the first beginning." Other inscriptions and texts refer to him as "the creator in heaven and on earth, who created all things—the lord of all that is and is not."

Bees were also considered sacred by the ancients and were worshipped through their goddess Artemis, who represented fertility, with honey being the 'nectar of the gods.' The Ephesian Artemis had as its symbol the bee that appears on coins of the city and, based on exhibits of Athens Museums, on the shields of the Ephesian hoplites. According to the Greek glossary of Hesychios, “Essen” means king or ruler. These priests may also have been Ephesians. The girls who served in the temple were known as bees, in contrast to the "Essenes," whom some sources refer to as "king bees."

Other symbols with significance to the Merovingians included the crescent moon, stars, and the fleur-de-lis, a symbol with two curved side petals and a central straight petal. It was considered a masculine symbol and reflected French bloodlines among the Merovingians and ancient Egyptian wisdom.

After the death of the king, "his lord," every free man and antrustion will be able to recommend themselves to whoever they want among the three Merovingian Kingdoms. This arrangement demonstrates the tight ties and considerable flexibility of choice between the kingdoms.

Involvements on the social and political scales varied in intensity. The position held by the antrustion needed maturity, experience, and aptitude, particularly when it related to a public duty, such as a political, military, administrative, or judicial function, such as that of a Count of the Palace, Duke of Province, Count of City, or Marche, etc. The meticulously outlined duties between the antrustions forbade one from carrying weapons or enduring observation against another.

Various tasks, such as organizing and forming battalions in border towns, increasingly fell to the antrustions. Other appointments included lawyers, judges, and a special police force called the Antrustions, whose jurisdiction may, if required, extend into other kingdoms for the purpose of conducting investigations and making arrests.

The king's antrustions always escorted him in both his city and his country, and an antrustion always led over the royal estates. The king became accustomed to having the antrustion take charge of his territory and the authority to dispense justice to the tenants and other people who occupied their lands. The aforementioned person could lose his title and respect if he doesn't keep the most basic promises he made to the king, or if he has shown that he is not worthy of this position without directly hurting the prince's rights or interests.

Honey and wax were seen as divine blessings, deeply valued in Egyptian society for both their spiritual and practical significance.

Human history is comparable to a large jigsaw puzzle. We won't see the whole picture until we've finished the puzzle. To obtain a more comprehensive image, we must gather as many of the fragments as possible because they are scattered throughout the area.

Numerous architects and sculptors of antiquity were initiates of mysteries, especially the Eleusinian rites. Temples and monuments were constructed for gods who now rest broken in the dust of the countries they once inspired. These cities and monuments were built by top artisans, and the gods' mysterious faces were carved by artisans unmatched today. Ancient architecture exhibits a deep comprehension of mathematics and astronomy, and Greek statues display a comparable level of anatomical knowledge. These examples demonstrate that both original creators were masterminds who knew the mysteries' arcana.

Those initiated architects and artists concealed the secret doctrine in their creations, whether they were hired to build palaces, temples, or combs, or to carve statues for the wealthy. That is why the world did not know until much later, long after their bones had fallen into the ground, that those first craftsmen were, in fact, properly initiated and worthy of the title Master Mason.

Whether they are found in megalithic standing stones, cathedrals, buildings, paintings, or other structures, the mysteries of the ancient and not-so-ancient worlds are essentially hidden in plain sight. We will also reveal the truth about religion, alchemy, the history of the Holy Grail, and our current political structures. Humans have been using this complex language for thousands of years. All around us, like a trail of clues leading to a hidden treasure, are symbols.

It is critical to acknowledge that a large number of historians, artists, architects, politicians, laypeople, and religious leaders desired and were unable to disseminate this knowledge. Instead, to ensure that future generations could understand the message, they used ciphers, codes, and symbols. Since these symbols were already well-known and in use, but for a different purpose (orthodoxy), it was possible for mainstream religion to conceal their true meaning.

We can better predict the future if we understand messages, their hidden meanings, and human behavior cycles.

After Dagobert was proclaimed King of Austrasia, he quickly began restoring order throughout his new kingdom, greatly boosting his wealth in the process. Dagobert resumed the production of gold coins, which Childeric II had ostensibly stopped doing around 670 AD. His gold tremissis broke with the old Frankish style and copied the powerful cross on three steps of contemporary Byzantine solidi. Dagobert was also the last king whose name was minted in Marseilles.

The important royal coins of Marseilles, which lasted from 613 to 679 AD, were always minted with the name of a king, which was unusual because Frankish coins usually contained only the names of the lender and the mint.

Dagobert II was the last Merovingian king to actually exercise real power. The mayors, who actually controlled the country and eventually defeated the Merovingian kings with the support of the Roman Church, are increasingly using their successors as puppets. The lowest of subjects were welcome to go into Dagobert's palace, which had all the order of a monastery, so they could openly approach their king and tell him about their situation. Due to their dishonest use of the king's trust and deception, the flatterers were banished from the king's court. The king never listened to their advice. He was a lover of the truth, and he spoke it with genuinely royal candor.
Therefore, inevitably, with his newfound wealth and land, he made enemies. He also caused the resentment of the rulers of neighboring Frankish lands, some of whom had connections in Dagobert's court and could be dangerous to him. One of these was his Mayor of the Palace, the treacherous Pepin the Fat.
In 676 AD, Dagobert signed a "strong pact of peace" with the Lombards. This event can be dated precisely because the only source for it, the History of the Lombards, written by Paul the Deacon toward the end of the eighth century, also reports the appearance of a comet in August of the same year. This comet was reported all over the world, from Ireland to Japan.

Ebroïn, the palace mayor to Thierry, King of Neustria, threatened King Dagobert II, the thirteenth King of Austrasia. Ebron ruled Neustria without restraint and desired to control Austrasia as well. Dagobert II restricts the law to steer the mayor of his palace, Pépin de Herstal. He opposes the desire for independence among the nobles and the expansion of the Roman church. He declares the city of Stenay the Merovingian capital.
