Antrustions 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).

"What is brilliant is the truth."
Your thoughts.

The truth is not only enlightening but also radiant and captivating. Authenticity and honesty have a beauty and power that surpass superficial attractions. In a world where misinformation and deception are rampant, that reminds us to seek and cherish the brilliance of truth, which can liberate and empower us. It's a mantra that encourages us to embrace reality—even when it's challenging—and to celebrate the clarity and wisdom that come from embracing the truth.

Some experts claim that we might see the Merovingians' initial steps in the style of the most ancient kingdoms, while others believe that we could detect vestiges of an original wisdom that they had acquired directly from heaven at the outset of their journey. Nobody can doubt that the Merovingians had rich and diversified occult knowledge. The early stages of their history take place in Arcadia, which is mostly unknown to us. The Frankish tribes can be traced back to their origins as Sicambrians.

They were already aware of their Arcadian/Trojan heritage and possessed significant creative and esoteric skills. We study the Merovingians' ancient history to retrace it and assess the value and scope of those early periods, which are the basis for the Frankish Merovingians' full development. A thorough investigation of the distinctions between tradition and progress in Frankish Merovingian times allows us to learn more about their personalities and ways of life.

CHLOTHARIUS I

In November/December 575 AD, the King of the Franks, Chlotharius, and his third wife, Ingundis (535 AD), were murdered at Vitry. Their remains were initially interred in Lambres but were subsequently relocated to Soissons Saint-Médard.

Clothind, Gunthar, Childerich, Charibert, Guntram, and Sigibert were all children of Ingundis, who was the spouse of King Chlotarius.

Chlotharius I was crowned King of all Franks, and the Frankish empire was once again unified under one leader for the first time since Clovis' death. After vanquishing his adversaries, Chlotharius devoted himself to the governance of his realm and the establishment of principles of justice and order. All individuals who had been forcibly evicted from their estates were reclaimed. He dissolved all imposters created by Brunehaut and Thierry in contravention of the will of the French people, revoked all excessive grants, and reinstated everything that had been seized or estranged from the Crown's domains.

In the year 619 AD, he discharged the Lombards from their tribute obligation of 12,000 crowns of gold on the condition that they remit the payment in cash, which had been outstanding for a mere three years.

The kingdom was divided among his four sons—Chilperik, Charibert, Sigibert, and Gontran—upon his demise. The kingdom was subdivided into four territories, each of which was given the name Austrasia, Neustria, Burgundy, or Aquitaine. However, the components exhibited diversity, as each individual possessed parcels of land near their neighbor. The entire nation-state had transformed into an enormous enigma, attracting curious gazes. Sigebert ruled Austrasia from Reims; Charibert ruled Aquitaine from Paris; Chilperic I ruled Neustria from Soissons; and Gontran I ruled South Gaul and Burgundy from Orléans.

According to recorded history, the Merovingian bloodline ended around 751 AD, when Pepin le Bref tonsured and exiled the last Merovingian king to a monastery. With the help of the Roman Catholic Church, Pepin then founded the Carolingian dynasty, which had no blood ties to the Merovingians.

The matter had been kept quiet, though, because King Dagobert II, who was married to Gisela of Razes, a Visigoth princess, resided at Rhedae, and their great-grandson Guilhem of Gellone was one of their descendants. Named "Isaac" in the patriarchy and acknowledged as the Potentate of Judah, Thierry's son Guilhem joined Charlemagne's army because the two of them had spent their formative years at Pepin le Bref's court. Because he admired his young cousin Guilhem so much, Charlemagne gave him a piece of the authentic cross that he had received from the Patriarch of Jerusalem, who had also donated the keys to the holy city. He also gave his precious “Joyeuse” sword, which contained in its pommel the spearhead that pierced the side of Jesus.

It's improbable that Guilhem was a Christian at the time; perhaps Charlemagne was attempting to convert him. Guilhem was the king of Septimania (whose emblem was the lion of David) and was considered by the entire Jewish community of the South as the heir to the Royal House of David. In 775 AD, Guilhem married Cunégonde, who was Visigothic, and their son Bera inherited from his mother the title “Prince of the Goths” and the title of Count of Razès from his father. He later wed Romelle, and in 803 AD, they established the Abbey of Alet-les-Bains.

Merovee

One of the most famous legends in Merovingian history is the story of Basina, the wife of Chlodio, who becomes pregnant by a sea creature and eventually gives birth to Merovee.

He was one of the auxiliaries fighting against Attila in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains. He is also mentioned as one of the Frankish kings, following Pharamund and Chlodio.

Dagobert II
Son of Sigisbert III, born in 651 AD. His father died in 656 AD, and Grimoald, Mayor of the Palace, attempted to usurp the throne by tonsuring Dagobert II and sending him to a monastery in Ireland.
He was exiled for 17 years.

He wedded Mathilde, a Visigoth princess, and subsequently Gisèle de Razès, the daughter of the Count of Razès, with whom he had a son, Sigisbert IV.

Returned to Austrasia in 674 AD and was proclaimed king in 676 AD.

Assassinated on December 23, 679 AD, in Stenay, Ardennes, by a group of men who were believed to be working for Pepin of Herstal. His body was initially buried in the church of Saint-Rémy in Stenay, but his relics were later transferred to the Abbey of Saint-Arnould in Metz. He was canonized as Saint Dagobert II.

Sigisbert III

Son of Dagobert I and Ragnetrude (or Raintrude), born in 630 AD in Orléans. Baptized by Saint Armand, he is said to have responded "Amen" to the blessing. At the age of 9, he was proclaimed King of Austrasia following his father's death in 649 AD.

He governed with the assistance of advisors such as Pepin de Landen, Saint Cunibert of Cologne, and Grimoald. He demonstrated his piety by sending missionaries to the pagan areas of his kingdom to promote Christianity. Tradition attributes the founding of 12 to 20 monasteries to him, including Cugnon, Malmedy, and Stavelot in the Ardennes.

In 651 AD, he married Princess Mathilde, with whom he had a son, Dagobert II.

Died on February 1, 656 AD, after a 23-year reign, and was buried in the crypt of the Church of the Abbey of Saint-Martin-Devant-Metz.
His relics were later transferred and became an object of immense veneration, being declared the patron of the diocese of Nancy in the 18th century. His body was thrown into a pyre during the Revolution in 1793, but fragments were recovered and recognized in 1803.

Sigisbert IV

Son of Merovingian King Dagobert II and Gisèle de Razes, born in 676 AD. After his father's assassination in 679 AD, he fled with his mother to Rennes-le-Château in the south of France, to the domain of his grandfather, Count Béra II of Razès.

Arrived in Languedoc in 681 AD and inherited the title of Duke of Razès and Count of Rhedae. He took on the surname "Plant-Ard" (later Plantard), derived from the French term "rejeton ardent," which translates to "ardently flowering shoot" of the Merovingian vine.

Fragments of evidence of his stay in Rennes-le-Château include a charter from 718 AD, pertaining to the foundation of a monastery by "Sigisbert," Comte de Rhedae, and his wife, "Magdala."
Died in 758 AD and is believed to be buried in the church of Rennes-le-Château or in a nearby cave with his ancestors' tombs.
He is the ancestor of Guillem de Gellone and later Godfroi de Bouillon, who captured Jerusalem during the Crusades.

The Battle of Soissons was the first major recorded victory by King Clovis I, which saw him defeat Syagrius, the ruler of the last Roman enclave in northern Gaul. The Battle of Soissons brought significant changes.

Many other Roman legionnaires stationed in Gaul joined the Frankish army, including numerous horsemen who became Clovis's elite troops. Gallo-Roman magnates like Aurelianus, who led his warband into Clovis's service and received Melun as a reward for his loyalty, provided Clovis with their support as early as 493 AD. With such assets and protected by their fortified villas, the Gallo-Roman magnates were a formidable force in local affairs as well as on the battlefield.

All this gave Clovis an experienced, professional fighting force with which it could campaign throughout the year. Clovis' troops, equipped with a substantial mounted force of Alans, Sarmatians, Taifals, and some Franks and Alamans, were able to successfully combat the Visigothic cavalry. In battle, they undoubtedly employed siege engines and other apparatus. The Merovingian military was thus, for a large part, built on the remains of the Roman Imperial military. Syagrius managed to flee the battleground to find refuge with King Alaric II, the Visigothic ruler of Toulouse. Alaric believed it would be prudent to obey and turned him over after Clovis sent ambassadors requesting the return of his adversary. The king actually sold Syagrius to the people of Clovis. To complete the further conquest of his kingdom, he imprisoned Syagrius until Clovis finished laying siege to Verdun and Paris, at which point he beheaded Syagrius.

A cluster of letters (48 in total) written in Latin in the name of Queen Brunhilde has been preserved. The collection is called “Epistolae Austrasicae.” These letters give a beneficial insight into Brunhilde’s personality. In these letters to Emperor Maurice in Constantinople, she expresses her concern and grief regarding the hostage at the court of the emperor, her grandson Prince Athanagild, son of Brunhilde’s daughter Ingund, who was married to Ermenegild, son of the beneficent Gothic King Leovigild. Passionate emotions unexpectedly influenced diplomatic relations in the city during the complex exchanges between the Western Frankish Kingdoms and the Eastern Roman Imperial Court.

Athanagild was taken to Constantinople to be used as leverage to pressure the Austrian Court to resume campaigning against the A***n Lombard Kingdom in Northern Italy. Ingund had already died in Constantinople. These letters were brought to Constantinople by two separate embassies and concerned the hostage of the prince at the court of the emperor, petitioning for his release. Several of the letters are addressed to Athanagild himself; another is to Theodosius, son of Emperor Maurice. Both were very young children at the time. Only some of the letters in the two packages from Childebert and Brunhilde mention Athanagild—two of the first packet's fifteen letters, but all four of the second packet's.

The first package opens with three pairs of epistles: a letter from Childebert and a letter from Brunhilde to Maurice; a letter from each to Athanagild; and two letters from Brunhilde to Augusta Constantina, wife of Maurice, and Anastasia, her mother and dowager empress of the late Emperor Tiberius II. The remaining nine letters are all from Childebert and addressed to other senior figures, like the Patriarch of Constantinople. Pope Gregory I's correspondence with Queen Brunechilde concerning the reform of the Frankish church appears to indicate that she still retained power in Austrasia as late as 602 AD. The letters arose from the complex geopolitics of that time and the attempts of the Eastern Roman Empire to expand its military control of parts of Italy and Spain. Most letters raise the issue of a treaty between Metz and Constantinople.

Chilperic married Galswintha, the older sister of Brunhilde. But one of Galswintha's servants, Fredegonde, managed to ensnare Chilperic. Chilperic was, however, captured by Fredegonde, one of Galswintha's servants. She arranged for Chilperic to strangle Galswintha to achieve her goal of ascending to the throne. To achieve her ambition of becoming queen, she orchestrated Galswintha's strangulation by Chilperic. Brunhilde was furious when she learned that her sister had been killed.
Born to Chilperic and Fredegund, Rigunth successfully evaded the perils and schemes that resulted in the demise of her brothers. Chilperic also arranged her matrimonial union with the son of the Spanish king in 584 AD. Saddled with wagonloads of ostentatious gifts, Rigunth was conveyed to the Visigoths as the bride of King Reccared. During their journey to Toledo, her army subsisted rapidly on the land.

Gregory was dissatisfied with Chilperic's conquest of Tours from Austrasia, which resulted in the seizure of ecclesiastical property and the appointment of non-clerical counts of the palace and bishops. During the reign of Chilperic in Neustria, the Byzantine punishment of eye-gouging was also implemented. However, he was also a man of culture: he reformed the Germanic alphabet, was a talented musician whose verse is regarded as modeled after that of Sedulius, and worked to mitigate the most severe effects of Salic law on women.

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.

Hugues de Payens was married to the mysterious and beautiful Catherine de St. Clair, heiress of Saint Clair (Scottish Sinclair). His first journey in 1104 had an extended effect on him because he came from a family that emerged in the Christian faith and had several family members who were monks. Four years later, he was back in Palestine for his second pilgrimage. In 1114, he made another trip to Palestine with the intention of never leaving, but he was unable to rebuff the call and instead returned to his native France. The Count of Champagne accompanied him on his first and third pilgrimages. King Henry I received him with "great worship" when he visited England in late 1128.
Successive English kings, including King John, often resided in the Temple’s London preceptory, and the Master of the Order stood by the monarch’s side at the signing of the Magna Carta.”

One of the seven Frankish men who joined the two men was Andre de Montbard, the uncle of Bernard Clairvaux.

The knights got support from Baldwin II, the third king of Jerusalem. Baldwin II allowed the men to establish their headquarters in the Royal Palace, located next to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the site of Solomon's first temple. The Knights of the Temple soon became known as the Templars.

The official name was “The Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon.”

In approximately 1170, a Jewish traveler, Benjamin of Tudela (1130–73), recorded that 300 knights lived in the Temple of Solomon ‘who issued therefrom every day for military exercise.’ Almost two decades later, the Muslim chronicler Imad ad-Din (1125–1201) wrote that after Saladin conquered Jerusalem in 1187, he ordered every trace of a Templar building on the Temple Mount to be removed.

DEDICATION

Our dedication lies in preserving the heritage of the Merovingian bloodline. Creating a platform with historical information about the Merovingians, their ancestors, and their offspring

Publish documents, organize lectures, and make various excursions to places of spiritual interest directly connected to the Merovingian bloodline.

Conventional historical reference has largely eclipsed the Merovingian period, which dates from the beginning of the Middle Ages, excluding this important period from our general knowledge and conveniently dismissing it as the "Dark Ages."

Contrary to popular belief, the opposite is the case, for this was a time of considerable prosperity, wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment, linking people, cultures, and civilizations across much of the then-known world.
