  • Und Anchises Im Kontext Der Karolingergenealogien Und Der Fränkischen Geschichtsschreibung Gerhard Lubich
    Die Namen Ansegis(el), Anschis(us) und Anchises im Kontext der Karolingergenealogien und der fränkischen Geschichtsschreibung Gerhard Lubich Die wohl älteste erhaltene Genealogie der Karolinger trägt den Titel Commemo- ratio genealogiae domni Karoli gloriosissimi imperatoris.1 Von einem Beginn, der auf römische Wurzeln hinzuweisen scheint, bis zum Endpunkt Karl dem Großen werden darin acht aufeinanderfolgende Generationen aufgeführt. In der agnatischen Linie findet sich in der vierten Generation der Name Anschisus – ein durchaus ungewöhnlicher Name, der sich weder im römischen Namen­ bestand findet noch unmittelbar aus germanischen Wurzel ableitbar ist. Auch im Mittelalter lässt er sich nicht weiter eigenständig nachweisen, sondern taucht beinahe ausschließlich in Texten auf, die in der Regel sogar auf Basis, zumin­ dest aber in Zusammenhang mit der Commemoratio Karoli entstanden sein dürften; dementsprechend beziehen sie sich auch auf den Vorfahren Karls. Lediglich in zwei Verbrüderungsbüchern finden sich – unter zehntausenden Namen – insgesamt vier Einträge vermerkt, die in der Form Anschis oder Ansgis(us) in Verbindung mit dem Namen Anschisus zu bringen wären, jeweils in Gruppeneinträgen von Mönchen, bei denen man weder einen genealo­ gischen noch einen deutlichen regionalen Zusammenhang mit der Herrscher­ dynastie herstellen könnte.2 Auch die Karolinger selbst griffen niemals mehr auf den Namen dieses Vorfahren zurück, auch nicht in der germanischen Form Ansegis(el), die deutlich häufiger belegt ist.3 Damit scheint der Name 1 Die Ausgabe der Commemoratio, ed. Waitz (1881: 245f.) ersetzt die in vielen Punkten verbesserungswürdige Ausgabe von Pertz (1829: 308f.). 2 Ein Anschisus ist verzeichnet im Liber memorialis von Remiremont, f. 59 r, ed. Hlawitschka (1970: 132, Z. 2). In den Confraternitates Augienses findet sich pag.

  • Descendants of Paramund
    Descendants of Paramund Generation 1 1. PARAMUND was born in 370 AD in Westphalia, Germany. He died in 430 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. He married ARGOTTA. She was born in 376 AD in France. She died in 432 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. Notes for Paramund: Paramund was born about 370 AM in Westphalia, Germany. He died about 430 AD at Rhine River Valley, Germany. Paramund is the 25th great grandfather of Louis, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1123-1204), the 14th great grandmother of Edward Southworth, the husband of Alice Carpenter, my 7th great grandmother. What is the significance of following this line? First of all, he is a ling through which descendants flow through the Westmoreland family into which our daughter, Tiffany Lenn Sharpe Westmoreland married when she married Steve O. Westmoreland. Tiffany's mother- in-law, Betty Katherine Covington Westmoreland, generously provided for me most of this genealogical information, and my appreciation of her is great for that. There are some interesting people in that line. Here are the interesting people in that line. This descendants’ line from Paramund of Germany contains 59 generations coming down to our contemporary family, down to our Westmoreland grandchildren. This line comes through our son-in-law’s connections. Notable names most people may recognize include Charles “The Hammer” Martel (686-741), Mayor of the Palace, ruling the Franks, and best remembered winning the Battle of Tours in 732, a battle that halted the Islamic expansion in Europe at that time. William the Conqueror is best known for leading the Normans from France across the English Channel to conquer England and to have himself crowned King of England in 1066.

  • The First Section of Annales Metteses Priores, In: Late Merovingian France: History and Hagiography, 640-720, Trans
    The first section of Annales Metteses Priores, in: Late Merovingian France: History and Hagiography, 640-720, trans. P. Fouracre – R. Geberding, Manchester – New York, Manchester University Press 1996, 350- (The Earlier Annals of Metz) In the six hundred and eighty-eighth year from the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, Pippin, son of the late most noble leader of the Franks, Ansegisel, happily succeeding his glorious father, took up the leadership of the eastern Franks after many battles and triumphs given to him by God. And the commentaries on his memorable deeds, which he accomplished before his rule or during it, shine forth, having been made known to all the people of the Franks. The leadership, however, stands as the crown of his famous victory and lasting praise because while still in the flower of youth and in inestimable good fortune he avenged the unjust death of his glorious father with the aid of divine power. He brought low the perpetrator of this unspeakable crime, a man awash with foreign pleasures, killing him in a surprise attack by his youthful hand, yet with heroic ferocity. This is not unlike what is read concerning David, who, with the Lord guiding him and with his youthful blow, deprived the immense Goliath of his life and head with his [Goliath’s] own sword. When this most cruel tyrant named Gundoin along with his followers had been killed, and when his riches had been given to his own faithful, Pippin’s power and victory were made known to the people far and wide. Then too when the leaders and the magnates of the Franks, whom his glorious father had fostered and formerly elevated with highly honoured positions, heard of the death of the most evil tyrant, they were filled with great joy, hastened to Pippin, and gave themselves over to his authority along with all those whom they governed.

  • Genealogy: a Comparative Perspective from the Early Medieval West
    chapter 10 Genealogy: A Comparative Perspective from the Early Medieval West Walter Pohl1 Genealogies and similar forms of structuring descent were widely diffused in recorded history; indeed, they offered one basic “perceptual grid” for shaping the past, legitimizing the present and preparing for the future.2 Yet they did not carry the same weight, or have the same meaning in different historical contexts. The present article addresses the question how much they mattered in early medi- eval continental Europe, where and when. It will briefly reassess the evidence from the mid-6th to the mid-9th century. Taken together, the following examples provide impressive traces of genealogical thinking; they could be (and often have been) taken as tips of an iceberg, and interpreted as written traces of detailed genealogical knowledge and its oral transmission among the “Germanic” elites of the post-Roman kingdoms. I will argue that we need to be more precise and also acknowledge the limits of genealogical thinking and of its social impact: perhaps there was no single iceberg? Among the elites, noble descent may have mattered, but it rarely needed to be specified, and it seems that actual genealogical knowl- edge seldom stretched back more than three or four generations.3 Royal succes- sion was usually represented by king lists rather than royal pedigrees. Strikingly, neither of these have been transmitted from the Merovingians’ more than 250 years of rule. Genealogies gradually become more prominent in our evidence from the Carolingian period; but it seems that the emerging Merovingian and Carolingian pedigrees were not based on pre-conceived oral genealogical knowl- edge ultimately written down, but were experimentally created and expanded on the basis of written documents in ecclesiastic institutions.

  • The Carolingian World at Its Height, the Carolingian Empire Spanned A
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-56494-6 - The Carolingian World Marios Costambeys, Matthew Innes and Simon Maclean Frontmatter More information The Carolingian World At its height, the Carolingian empire spanned a million square kilo- metres of western Europe – from the English Channel to central Italy and northern Spain, and from the Atlantic to the fringes of modern Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. As the largest political unit for centuries, the empire dominated the region and left an enduring legacy for European culture. This comprehensive survey traces this great empire’s history, from its origins around 700, with the rise to dominance of the Carolingian dynasty, through its expansion by ruthless military conquest and political manoeuvring in the eighth century, to the struggle to hold the empire together in the ninth. It places the complex political narrative in context, giving equal consideration to vital themes such as beliefs, peasant society, aristocratic culture, and the economy. Accessibly written and authoritative, this book offers distinctive perspectives on a formative period in European history. marios costambeys is Senior Lecturer in the School of History at the University of Liverpool.
