Antrustions

For the Franks, their kings are the descendants of the gods, who govern the visible and invisible worlds. The only people qualified to rule the mortals are the sons of the gods because they have naturally long hair, while warriors shave their necks.

Chlodio first lived in Dispargum, which was a castle in present-day Germany. He held Roman-inhabited lands and cities in the Silva Carbonaria forest. Around 431 AD, he invaded Artois's territory but was routed by Aetius, the Gaulish Roman Army commander.

He later regrouped, and Chlodio sent spies to the town of Cambrai. When they discovered all that they needed to know, he followed and crushed the small Roman garrison there, captured the town intact, and conquered an area that included Turnacum (the modern Belgian city of Tournai) and Cameracum (the modern French city of Cambrai) and occupied further territory, pushing Frankish interests westwards to the Somme River in the 430s AD.

According to legend and the Chronicles of Fredegar, Mérovée (Merovech), the first of the Merovingian Kings, was conceived by Chlodio’s wife when she went swimming and was encountered by a quinotaur, a sea monster. The royal dynasty was thus given a supernatural origin.

This story symbolized the merger of the bloodlines.

This sea monster was "half man, half fish." Since Jesus was known to early Christians as the "ICHTHYS" and Mary Magdalene was identified with the shape known as the "Vessel of the Fish". This legend receives a lot of attention, however, this is only one facet of the extensive history of the Merovingians. The enigmatic marine animal Bistea Neptunis was a product of the Arcadian tradition. The pertinent sea ruler in Arcadia was King Pallas, an ancient Arcadian divinity. The renowned Oceanus served as his predecessor.

According to legend, this immortal sea ruler "ever incarnates" in a dynasty of "ancient kings" whose emblem was a fish.

As Antrustions, it is our mission to uphold the Merovingian Bloodline's legacy and serve as a central point for potent, ancient spiritual knowledge; to compile this knowledge from numerous sources and keep it for upcoming generations; and to publish records, lectures, outings, and travel arrangements to locations with a direct connection to the Merovingian Bloodline that are historically and spiritually significant.

We examine the information being offered to us by using "memory" as our inner compass.

Numerous ancient Gnostic Christian brotherhoods, including those that predated the Templars and Cathars, attempted to enter the kingdom of the spirit or of the light, and the route they took revealed the truth.

All of these men and women, these organizations, often separated by great distances and time, had similar goals, shared the same experiences, made the same discoveries, and all had endured defamation and persecution.

All previously had a connection with the same powerful spiritual energy that has no beginning or end.

They all drank from the same source.

This source is essential if we want to fully comprehend the Merovingians.

We all acquire information over the course of our lives, and wisdom is the result of knowledge. This wisdom enables the discernment that the Holy Spirit bestows upon those who seek after God's eternal truths.

The Queen of Sheba embodied knowledge, and it was that knowledge that Solomon longed for because he had not yet made it his own. When Solomon met the Queen of Sheba, he immediately realized that wisdom was what this woman carried with her. And although they were completely equal, he knew that without her wisdom, he would not get any further. She was a representation of love and submission, and the miracle of the alchemical transformation could only occur through the union of Sheba and Solomon.

The Templars constructed great cathedrals and left many esoteric clues, for instance in the Cathedral of Chartres, where Sheba is depicted twice and is associated with the Prophets and Kings of Israel, who are considered to be the foundation of Christianity.

While in Jerusalem, the Templars also learned the principles of the dualistic religion, inspired by the old doctrines of Zoroaster.

Pope Pius IX, the nineteenth century pope, made a public statement regarding the Templars and the beginning of the Johannite “heresy” in his Allocution of Pio Nono against the FreeMasons:

“The Johannites ascribed to Saint John the foundation of their Secret Church, and the Grand Pontiffs of the Sect assumed the title of Christos, anointed or consecrated, and claimed to have succeeded one another from Saint John by an uninterrupted succession of pontifical powers. He who, at the time of the foundation of the Order of the Temple, claimed these imaginary prerogatives was named Theoclete; he knew Hugues de Payens, he initiated him into the Mysteries and hopes of his pretended church; he seduced him by the notions of Sovereign Priesthood and Supreme royalty, and finally designated him as his successor. ”

Any free man wishing to join the antrustions, "which was regarded as a great honor," had to present himself armed at the Royal Palace and, "if accepted by the king," make a vow of Trustees and Fidelitas, the Oath of Fidelity regarding each matter at the King's request, with his hands in those of the King.

He was considered to be in “truste dominica” for life and obligated to provide the kind of help contained as a result of this. And in exchange, the Antrustions acquired particular favorable circumstances and qualified for imperial assistance with regard to them.

The Druids were far more of a clergy than Druidism was a religion; it was an organized and patriotic clergy. It was especially on this account that they exercised in Gaul an influence that was still existent, particularly in north-western Gaul, at the time when Christianity reached the Gallic provinces of the south and center.

In this period, Greco-Roman paganism was significantly more influential than Gaulish druidism. It was the religion of the state and the conquerors, and as such, it had actual authority. Beyond that, all of its power came from prevailing traditions and superstitions.

At its core, Latin Paganism was a religious creed that was hollow, apathetic, and disposed to accept all other religions as long as they did not cause trouble for the state by either assaulting its ancient deities or disobeying its rulers.

Christianity declared itself to be a worldwide religion, free from any local and national partiality, addressing all men in the name of the same God, and giving to all the same salvation, as opposed to Druidism, which was an exclusively national religion antagonistic to all that was alien.

It is one of history's oddest and most important realities that such a religion, no matter how numerous, should have emerged from Judaism. This was the beginning of Christianity, and the amazing contrast between its spiritual core and its earthly roots was without a doubt one of its most potent draws and most effective marketing strategies.

While attempting to keep their veil of secrecy tightly drawn, the Templar elite organized their order into a concentric arrangement - consisting of outer and inner circles of initiates. The Johannite hierarchy comprised the three inner circles, while the rest of the knights occupied the seven outer circles.

They served a greater cause and dedicated their lives to bringing sacredness back to life, working with sacred geometry and sacred places, and making an attempt to unite religions. Reuniting the sacred masculine and sacred feminine

According to the Marculfian formula, each man wanting to become Antrustion came to the palace fully armed to swear assistance and loyalty to the king. He was, above all, a military companion whose role and situation were quite clearly defined. The Mayor of the Palace (Major Domus) was the Chief of the Household of the King. Around 600 AD, he also became the commander of numerous clans.

The number and devoutness of the antrustions formed the principle glory of the king. This honored body formed, together with the Dukes, Counts, and the "Proceres,” or nobility, of the kingdom.

Hieros Gamos is known as the Alchemical Wedding or Sacred S*x. The entire process of sacred s*x has the potential to transport the lovers or the couple to a higher state of consciousness and the world beyond this plane.

This ancient Egyptian-taught principle can alter your body's energy level and help to infuse both your physical and social relationships with strength and vitality.

When men maintain their sacredness and power, it fills the entire world. Like sunshine through and through!

The continuous transmission of this knowledge from one generation to the next is crucial for the survival of our human race.

There certainly was a kind of nobility formed by the antrustions. We could very well be speaking of Antrustions and calling them a new nobility, a nobility of the sword. But all the elements of nobility were not there. There was no question of heredity or, consequently, of the essential condition necessary for the existence of this class. It is true that more than once the son has been able to succeed his father, but this did not rest on any rights and did not establish at first a nobility.

The Kings Leudes (Antrustions) formed from the onset a distinct class invested in legal privileges. Their main advantages were the chances of fortune and power, and their privileges resulted, for this has the tendency to become an ever increasing pre-eminence and a pre-eminence tending to become hereditary. It is thus that the class of Leudes (Antrustions), formed without taking into account the origin or any legal condition, gave birth to modern nobility.

The Trustees of the Franks of Clovis were a reproduction of the military “comitatus” of his ancestors, the Germans of the first century of Christianity, with the difference, however, that in principle the peoples beyond the Rhine River all had “companions."

While we see only the King's Trusts appear among the Salians, it is at that moment that the skilled and valiant founder of the monarchy ordered the drafting of the old customs of his old nation and of the laws that were to govern the relations of the invaders with the indigenous populations. This prince had established a power that surpassed that of many kings and many tribes.

17/11/2023

A descent from Clovis was required when one wanted to become king. A Merovingian prince could be recognized as such by his father, other Merovingian kings, sufficient magnates of a kingdom, or the people. Gregory says that “irrespective of their mother’s birth, all children born to a king count as that king’s son." The implication of this is that, although the sons of a slave girl remained servile, when the father was a king, the servility was ignored.

Preventing a man from becoming king could be achieved, apart from killing him, by calling this person a pretender, an illegitimate son, or by making a prince incapable of the throne by shaving his head and making him a cleric.

Because the Merovingian kings did not pay most of their officials, only large landowners could afford to be officials. Most officials will have worked only part-time for the interests of the kingdoms because they had to manage their own affairs too. Exceptions were officials who had no income of their own and who enjoyed the revenues of certain villages belonging to the royal treasury. Because they had their own means to organize, they got the assignment for public organization too. This system of government must have been decentralized to a large extent, with few rules.

The "Trustis," warrior companionship, and the “Antrustion,” voluntary companions of the Merovingian Kings of France, represented in Gaul a fundamental institution of the German conquerors and corresponded to one of the essential organs of the old Germanic society.

Darkness is the one true actuality, the basis and root of light, without which the latter could never manifest itself or even exist.

The Persians invaded Jerusalem at the start of the seventh century, plundering the city and capturing the Patriarch as Jerusalem's standing began to decline. The Byzantine Emperor intervened, and after 16 years in exile, the Patriarch was able to return to Jerusalem. Shortly after his return, the first Islamic troops appeared and captured the city. Because of the negotiating skills of the Patriarch, the occupation of Jerusalem was tolerant.

After the construction of the Islamic mosque, the city also became a "holy place" in Islam. The medieval Muslims considered the Jews and Christians their religious brothers. They allowed Christian pilgrims to visit their holy places. The intelligent diplomatic skills of Charlemagne secured this tolerant behavior for a long time.

Aetius, with assistance from Thorismond and Mérovée, achieved victory and destroyed the Huns.

Aetius, who did not have his Hun mercenaries, played a rather static role with his soldiers. He retained control of the hill and tried to restore discipline to the other fighters.

The Visigoths, who found Theodoric's body under a pile of corpses, sang funeral hymns in his honor and removed him from the eyes of their enemies. The Goths, holding back the air of their songs, render, in the midst of the fury of war, their last duties to their king.

On the battlefield, Thorismond is elected king. He wanted to avenge his father, but Aetius, considering Attila defeated and fearing that "once the Huns are completely destroyed, the Goths will rush against the Romans," convinced him to return to Toulouse to establish his power against his brothers. "It was through a similar ploy that he had in store for the king of the Franks, Mérovée."

The Ostrogoths, led by Kings Valamir, Theodemir, and Vidomir, joined the twenty or thirty thousand Hun warriors. The Gepids with Ardaric, the Skires, the Ruges, the Burgundy, the Bructers, the Franks, the Thuringians, and the Bastarnes

The Alans were positioned in the middle of their consorts, which included the Franks, Sarmates, Armoricans, Burgundians, Saxons, and others, when Aetius, Mérovée, Theodoric, and his son Thorismond learned of this betrayal.

As a result, Goths, Franks, and Burgundians can be found in both camps.

The Romanization of the Christian faith was rather drastic. The Emperor gave the order to search for the grave of Jesus, and he gave the Bishop of Jerusalem the means to expand the city even further. The Golden Arch Gate is from this era.

Only three centuries after Jesus' life, his home country or kingdom was being promoted as the prestigious Holy Land by the same government body responsible for his crucifixion.

The Bishops of Jerusalem became more prominent in the Christian world and played a major role in the editing and composition of the official version of the Bible. Of course, Jerusalem played a major part in this story. This spread the spiritual aura of Jerusalem all over the Christian world.

Solomon hired craftsmen from the court of his friend King Hiram of Tyrus, the Fenischian King, to complete the work on the temple, because there was no knowledge available in Israel to construct this building.

Most of the materials were also supplied by King Hiram, who had his master architect, Hiram Abif, carry out the work. Some of the materials came from the Afar people in Ethiopia (who were related to the Queen of Sheba), who traded in gold, topaz, jasper, ivory, leopard skins, sandalwood, and animals.

They were master shipbuilders and merchants and had great power and influence at the court of Nebuchadnezzar and his successors, as well as in Israel.

Their seaport was the city of Tharsis. King Solomon was one of their clients. As stated in the Holy Bible in I, King 22: “The king had merchant ships from Tharsis together with the fleet of Hiram”.

Abraham was among the people who paid tithes and homage to Melchizedek, the high priest of God and King of Salem, in exchange for blessings.

Abraham gave to Melchizedek a tenth of his grapes, wheat, and other products, seeking Melchizedek’s blessings. He also presented him with a precious pearl ball that he had inherited from his ancestors. At that instance, the spirit of God overwhelmed Melchizedek, and he lifted the sacred bread and wine high above, in the presence of 1,200 priests, and prophesied about Abraham’s future seed producing the messiah who would save the world.

Melchizedek, meaning “King of Righteousness,” occupied both royal and priestly offices, as his forefathers did. His father Caena used to be called “Abu-melik:” The father of kings.

From both political and religious perspectives, Clovis could depend on the support of the Byzantine Empire for his imperialistic “Christian” expansion of authority over other “barbarian” peoples.

Constantinople was the most important city at this time, and emperors enjoyed the wealth and power that flowed to this city as the center of the Christian and civilized world.

Clovis had his own coins minted in Anastasius' name with his image on them.

Leaving Tours, he went to Paris to establish the seat of his expanded kingdom there.

After defeating the Visigoths at Vouille in 507 AD, Clovis moved southward, taking Bordeaux. The rivers in Gaul froze due to the extremely cold winter. The following spring, Clovis took Angoueleme and then Toulouse in 508 AD, and the Visigoth treasure was stored there. While besieging Carcassonne, Clovis' army was driven off by Ostrogothic troops. He then moved north and took Angouleme.

In Tours, he was met by the Emperor of the East, Anastasius, who presented the victorious King with the purple tunic (Chlamys), which only Emperors and Patriciates wore, and placed a diadem on his head in Saint Martin's Church (in Roman times, a diadem was only appropriate for Emperors).

It is safe to assume that Clovis had visited the Emperor in Byzantium before this event, just like his father had done.

By 500 AD, Gundobad and Godegesil were at war with each other. Perhaps inevitably, one of the brothers turned to their powerful neighbor Clovis for advice in this case, Godegesil, who promised to pay an annual tribute if Clovis helped him either kill his brother in battle or expel him from Burgundy.

This proposition was accepted, and Clovis thereafter marched his troops into Burgundy. Unaware of his brother's involvement in this, Gundobad wrote his brother a telegram urging them to band together to fight the invading Franks. Godegesil had vowed to help Clovis, but when the three armies met at the River Ouche, he violated his word and sided with him. Despite the allies routing Gundobad's army, he was able to retreat and reach Avignon in the south.

Following this battle, Godegesil made a commitment to grant Clovis a portion of the kingdom before departing and triumphantly entering Vienne. This would end up being a deadly error. As well as pursuing Gundobad, Clovis surrounded Avignon. It would have been better for Godegesil to go with Clovis. Avignon resisted Clovis.

TRUTH AND WISDOM

The Early Middle Ages are commonly known as the “Dark Ages," which are portrayed in history books as a time of decline, turmoil, and darkness after the Romans departed from Western Europe.

But in reality, this was a prosperous time with many contacts and connections with other parts of the world.

“We have to understand why, until now, historically correct information has been scarcely available regarding this important period in our Western European history.”

This was the decisive period in the establishment of the Holy Roman Catholic Church as the dominant power in Europe for the next 1500+ years, and therefore most of the known manuscripts are biased towards church doctrine. People were being manipulated into accepting the “official” doctrine of the church.

Christianity at this time took many different forms. The Roman Church was in constant conflict with the Celtic and A***n Churches.

The Merovingian period was a period in history with a high level of spirituality. There was a favorable relationship with the land. According to research, people from this period were much healthier than people before or after this period.

The later Merovingian kings managed a peaceful and prosperous kingdom. They were later described as the "do-nothing kings," but that was obviously politically motivated.

The ancients did not believe that spirituality made men either righteous or rational, but rather that righteousness and rationality made men spiritual. The ancient mysteries taught that spiritual illumination was attained only by bringing the lower nature up to a certain standard of efficiency and purity.

The mysteries were established for the purpose of unfolding the nature of man according to certain fixed rules that, when faithfully followed, elevated the human consciousness to a point where it was capable of cognizing its own constitution and the true purpose of existence.

The priesthood and royal blood have long been associated. The Merovingian bloodline follows a similar pattern. They merged the bloodlines of priests and aristocrats.

In ancient Egypt, candidates aspiring to membership in religious orders underwent severe tests to prove their worthiness. These ordeals were called "initiations." Those who passed them successfully were welcomed as brothers by the priests and were instructed in the secret teachings. Among the ancients, philosophy, science, and religion were never considered separate units; each was regarded as an integral part of the whole. Philosophy was scientific and religious; science was philosophical and religious; and religion was philosophical and scientific.

Perfect wisdom was considered only attainable as the result of harmonizing all three of these expressions of mental and moral activity.

The Merovingians were said to be clairvoyant and telepathic with animals and to be able to heal by laying hands on them. It is rumored that they each carried a distinctive birthmark in the form of a red cross either over the heart or between the shoulder blades. Their powers were said to emanate from their long hair and extend to everything they possessed, even down to the tassels on their robes.
