You can also review the Brito-Roman kingdoms such as Gwynedd, Powys, Rheged and Morgannwg.

Another interesting fact is that the Salic Franks were citizens of Rome from the 4th century and they were closely related to the Byzantine dynasties, since Emperor Theodosius II was a Frank on his mother’s side. The Western Roman Empire even made Childeric governor of the province of Belgium in 470, thereby strengthening the legitimacy of the Franks in the eyes of the Roman population of Gaul!

[@someoneno-one7672]

@@Captain_Cinnamon Anglo-Saxon history barely started when Britain was in the Empire. Britannia, the troubled province, played an important role in the lives two pivotal late emperors Constantine and Theodosius, and produced several distinguished usurpers: Carausius, Magnus Maximus, Constantine III. Roman name for the Gauls, Volcae, was adopted by the Germanic speakers as Walhaz to designate those who lived in Roman ways. This word gave names to Vlahi (Roman-speakers of the Balkans) and Wallachia in Romania, Walloons and Wallonia in Belgium and, yes, Wales and the Welsh. English cultural influence, on the other hand, was quite important at the court of Charlemagne, the restorer of the Empire in the West.

Love your work Maiorianus! I especially find the period of late Roman history interesting. While exact comparisons to the modern world are impossible to draw, it is fascinating learning about the "germanization" of the Roman military (and eventually civilian population), and how that process impacted the future kingdoms those various German tribes would carve out. There are certainly lessons to be learned in the modern world from this process, though they ought to be taken with a hefty grain of salt.

It worth mentioning that upon conquering the remnant of Roman Gaul, Franks frankly preserved a lot of Gallo-Roman and Catholic culture of the late Empire incorporating it into the Merovingian state. I also think that the effort to resurrect the lost Empire in the West was quite genuine from Charlemagne all the way up to Frederick II (Stupor Mundi) whose first given name, by the way, was Constantine. While that attempt failed as after Frederick’s death and long interregnum later emperors were concentrating on Germany and other parts of the northern and Central Europe, Frederick’s reign created those cultural shockwaves that triggered High Middle Ages and, later, Renaissance.

Many modern historians in the world believe that the Holy Roman Empire is the successor of the Western Roman Empire. As evidence, they give the following example: the Franks were connected not only with the Western but also with the Eastern Empire. For example, the wife of Emperor Arcadius was Elia Eudoxia, the daughter of the Frank commander of the Roman army Bauto and the mother of Emperor Theodosius II and Empress Pulcheria. In the west, in 358, Emperor Julian the Apostate made the Salic Franks citizens of the empire; their legal status was called (dediticii). Later, the Frankish king Childeric I, for his loyalty, subsequently received from one of the last Roman emperors the position of dux (governor) of the province of Belgica II, which is mentioned in the message of Bishop Remigius of Reims to King Clovis I, written in the late 490s. In 508, a Byzantine embassy arrived at Clovis in Tours, informing him that Emperor Anastasius I had elevated him to the dignity of patrician and recognized him as the Roman governor of the province of Gaul. Anastasius also sent him, as a sign of formal recognition, the royal insignia - a chlamys, a purple tunic and a diadem. With this act, Byzantium expressed its approval of the anti-Gothic policy of Clovis and his adoption of the Christian faith. For the Christian population of Gaul, this meant additional confirmation of the legitimacy of his power!

[@Damiaanos21]

Thanks for sharing this comment. I was wondering if the Franks ever received roman citizenship and all these small details matter to the later history of them growing in power, it's a difference of they conquered Rome or they reconquered Rome although it was never going to be the same again. The fall of Rome was not their fault and technically it never fell if they were roman citizens and a roman entity but Rome would be completely ruled by ethnical frankish people. I will look into this, are there any sources like websites or books you know that cover this subject?

Hi. I am a soldier working in the area, conceptual planning. Conceptual thinking is analyzing different theoretical ideas and planning how to connect them to develop an alternative approach to solving a problem. May I suggest to you, connecting your show to something like, Lord of the Rings. Because just like you, J. R. R. Tolkien got most of his inspiration from late antiquity and early medieval period. You could call it, the historical Lord of the Rings, because a ring back then, was s symbol of vassalage and Attila was Sauron and the Huns the Orks and the black Forest the Mirkwood.

[@solinvictus8093]

To be honest: I am quite pleased with modern day Orks being a considerable distance away from Black Forrest and I hope it stays that way! 🤔

[@ulicadluga]

May I suggest some topics? 1. The evolution of the Christian Sects in late Rome, and the effect on pagan religions and beliefs, such as Mithraism, Animism, etc. - and the suppression of other monotheistic beliefs. 2. The roles of Jews in late Rome and in the continuation of Jewish culture under early post-Roman conditions. My particular interest is drawn to the apparently significant migration of Jewish communities through late Roman Italy and into Germany - in particular the Rhineland (later developing into the ShUM cities). 3. The significance of living conditions in densely populated late Rome on the spread of degenerative conditions (possible lead-poisoning) and diseases such as plague, malaria, STDs, etc.

The Franks filled the power vacuum after the fall of the western Roman Empire in late antiquity. The franks took half of Italy from the Lombards, created the Spanish march as a border between the Muslims of al anduls. Franks had rivals such as the Lombards of northern Italy , byzantines of southern Italy Vikings from the north and ummayids of Syria based in Spain. Many frank fought for Rome and franks like the goths abandoned thier germanic language, culture and faith for gallo Roman culture. This will lead to the creation of the French people

This video provides a detailed exploration of the intricate relationship between the Franks, a coalition of Germanic subtribes, and the Roman Empire. From resettlement under Emperor Probus to their role in Constantine's army, it sheds light on the complex dynamics, blending alliances and conflicts that defined this historical connection. The integration of Germanic ferati into the Roman army further blurs the line between the two cultures, adding a fascinating layer to the narrative.

They could also be considered as byzantine officers. They did not dare to take the imperial tittle before 800. And, fighting the Goths and then the Lombards, they were natural allies/vassals for Constantinople. Without the Arabic invasions of the 7th and 8th centuries, this could have lasted much longer, with the Eastern Roman Empire taking over the western Mediterranean sea.

[@lerneanlion]

I never get one thing. After the territories in the Western Europe and the western part of North Africa have been lost to the Germanic tribes, why did the Roman Empire based in Constantinople still employed the Serbs as the foederati? Why did they learn nothing from what the Germanic tribes did to them back then? After all, the Serbs even unified into a single nation and become enemy to both the Romans and the Bulgarians. And in my view, the true successor of the Roman Empire is the Ottoman Empire because some Ottoman Sultans actually married the Roman Princesses of the last ruling dynasty of the Roman Empire and even have Constantinople as a seat of power later on. P.S: If the Franks decided not to help Constantine or Maxentius made a deal with them first, the outcome could have been very different.
