  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

He was born Georgius Florentius and later added the name Gregorius in honour of his maternal great- grandfather. His most notable work was his Decem Libri Historiarum Ten Books of Historiesbetter known as the Historia Francorum History of the Franksa title that later chroniclers gave to it, but he is The History of the Franks known for his accounts of the miracles of saints, especially four books of the miracles of Martin of Tours. Martin's tomb was a major pilgrimage destination in the 6th century, and St. Gregory's writings had the practical effect of promoting this highly organized devotion. Gregory was The History of the Franks in Clermontin the Auvergne region of central Gaul. Gregory had several noted bishops and saints as close relatives his family effectively monopolised the Bishoprics of Tours, Lyons, and Langres at the time of his birthand, according to Gregory, he was connected to thirteen of the eighteen bishops of Tours preceding him by ties of kinship. Gregory's paternal grandmother, Leocadia, descended from Vettius Epagatus, the illustrious martyr of Lyons. His father evidently died while Gregory was young and his widowed mother moved to Burgundy where she had property. Gregory went to live with his paternal uncle St. Gallus, Bishop of Clermontunder whom, and his successor St. Avitus, Gregory had his education. Gregory also received the clerical tonsure from Gallus.

  • Lanaken En De Vroegste Geschiedenis Van Franken En Merovingen
    Lanaken en de vroegste geschiedenis van Franken en Merovingen Jozef Van Loon, KANTL Samenvatting De Limburgse plaatsnaam Lanaken is een historisch gedenkwaardig toponiem. Traditioneel wordt hij verklaard als een naam op -iniaca(s), maar klankwettig is dat onmogelijk. Hetzelfde bezwaar geldt voor talloze Franse toponiemen die met het suffix worden gereconstrueerd. Een nauwkeuriger onderscheiding van de vele varianten die terug- gaan op het Keltische ākos-suffix, maakt het mogelijk deze namen nauwkeuriger te periodiseren, van late prehistorie tot Vroegkarolin- gische tijd. Lanaken zelf is aldus te reconstrueren als *Hluþenakōm, een naamformatie die wellicht uit de tweede eeuw n.C. dateert. Het eerste deel van het toponiem bevat de naam van de Germaanse godin Hluthena, die in de Romeinse tijd vooral werd vereerd in het gebied van de Sugambri, en is tevens het kenmerkende naambestanddeel van de Merovingische dynastie die uit die stam is voortgekomen. Van de oudst bekende naamdrager, Chlodio, wordt aangetoond dat hij voluit Chlodebaudes heette, een naam die alleen voorkomt in enkele genea- logieën die tot nu onbetrouwbaar werden geacht. Het artikel gaat zijdelings ook in op de etymologie van de namen Liedekerke, Luik, Montenaken, Salii, Sinnich, Thüringen en Vicus Helena. Summary A new etymology of the Limburg place-name Lanaken leads to far- reaching conclusions with respect to the descent of the Merovingian dynasty and their Frankish origins. Traditionally, the name Lanaken, like many French place-names in -y, -ies etc., has been seen as containing the Gallo-Roman suffix -iniaca(s). However, this recon- struction runs into problems with the historical sound laws of Dutch and French.

  • Iron, Steel and Swords Script - Page 1 Charibert I These Kids Did Not Do All That Well - They Fought Each Other Over Women
    The Frankish Empire And Its Swords Born to Rule (or to Be Killed) The Frankish Empire (also known as Frankish Kingdom, Frankia, Frankland) was the territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks, a confederation of Germanic tribes, during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. It starts with the Merovingians, who we know from before. Here is a very brief history of the Fankish Empire (mostly based on Wikipedia). Clovis (ca. 466 – 511) was the first King of the Franks and the founder of the Merovingian dynasty that ruled the Franks for the next two centuries. His father was Childeric I, whose sword hilt we so admire. In the 150 or so years before his coronation in 496, a confederation of various tribes like Sicambri, Saliens, Bructeri, Ampsivarii, Chamavi and Chattuarii, fought the Romans, each other, or were allies of the Romans. Nevertheless they established some "Frankish" territory in what is now France. Around 428 the Salian King Chlodio, a member of the Germanic Franks from the Merovingian clan, ruled over an increasing number of Gallo- Roman subjects on both sides of the Rhine. Advanced His name is Germanic, composed of the elements "hlod" = "fame" and "wig" = combat. The French, of course, later wrote it "Clovis" and pronounced it like "Louis", the name born by 18 kings of France. The Frankish core territory then was Austrasia (the "eastern lands"); see the map below or on a larger scale here. Chlodio was a Christian and, like his forebears, under constant attack from the heathen Saxons in the North. After his death in 511 the Kingdom was partitioned into 4 parts, ruled by his four sons: Frankish empire evolution Numbers give date of "acquisition".

  • Historical Evolution of ​Roman Infantry Arms And
    HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ROMAN ​ INFANTRY ARMS AND ARMOR 753 BC - 476 AD An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment to the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Evan Bossio Robert Chase Justin Dyer Stephanie Huang Marmik Patel Nathan Siegel Date: March 2, 2018 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Professor Luca Capogna Abstract During its time, the Roman Empire gained a formidable reputation as a result of its discipline and organization. The Roman Empire has made a lasting impact on the world due to its culture, political structure, and military might. The purpose of this project was to examine how the materials and processes used to create the weapons and armour helped to contribute to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. This was done by analyzing how the Empire was able to successfully integrate new technologies and strategies from the regions the Empire conquered. The focus of this project is on the Empire's military, including the organization of the army, and the tactics and weapons used. To better understand the technology and innovations during this time the Roman long sword, spatha, was replicated and analyzed. 1 Acknowledgments The team would like to thank Professor Diana A. Lados and Professor Luca Capogna for this unique experience. The team would also like to thank Anthony Spangenberger for his guidance and time throughout the microstructure analysis. Lastly, this project could not have been done without Joshua Swalec, who offered his workshop, tools, and expertise throughout the manufacturing process 2 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgments 2 Table of Contents 3 List of Figures 6 List of Tables 11 Authorship 12 1.

  • The Fabulous Race Aliens and the Merovingian Mythology Gérard De Sède
    Loose translation from French to English of the book 'La race fabuleuse' by Gerard de Sède The Fabulous Race Aliens and the Merovingian mythology Gérard de Sède Edition J’ai lu - 1973 Prologue I would probably never have written these pages without the help of marquis de B., who passed away two years ago. Their unusual turn is due to him, in any case. B. wanted to remain anonymous. Despite this, it is to be foreseen that some insiders will be able to identify him: good for them. As for me, I respect his wishes. Many admired his knowledge which was broad and exact as I have been able to verify a hundred times. Nevertheless, some people just thought of him as a mad historian; it is true that he had a vivid imagination, a great induction power and he drew amazing conclusions from his research. Others thought that a secret society had taught him to only express himself by means of symbols, in such a way that while pretending to treat one subject, he was in fact treating an other one without any connection or analogy to the first one. I was not able to choose between the three opinions. All I knew was that marquis de B. was an unusual man and that he had become my friend. It was he who has provided me with some of the files that you are going to read, so I have to start by telling who he was and how I knew him. Nothing in his appearance distinguished him from other people.

  • Seemingly Unrelated Threads from Abraham to European Royalty
    Seemingly Unrelated Threads 1 The Larger Picture: The Intertwining of Seemingly Unre- lated Threads Back to Abraham When investigating ancient lineages and some lineages from the early Middle Ages, genealogists sometimes come across a line that someone has traced back to Abraham. All such lines are somewhat conjectural, and are based on various genealo- gies that have been taken from Biblical material or other ancient texts. While there are a number of “experts” who claim that these lines are purely mythical (and therefore unsatisfactory), I think we’ll find at some point that the lines are more accurate than previously thought. What is surprising is the number of different threads that exist from Abraham into Western Europe and the different paths they take. Several different threads are inter- twined in the Merovingian families of Francia. Two pass from Egypt through Ireland into either Wales or Scotland. A third line comes directly from the Exilarchs (the leaders of the Jewish community in exile after the Diaspora) in Babylon. This thread goes di- rectly into what is now southern France, where descendants married into the noble families of the region. In addition, I’ve shown lines (with two variants) from Abraham’s Islamic descendants that passes through Spain and into the nobility there and thence into the nobility of Europe. For the sake of (relative) brevity I have only listed a few lineages down to rela- tively) recognizable historic figures. Many combinations and permutations are possible. Some of the material presented here is based on Roderick Stuart’s book Royalty for Commoners.
