You always make My day! Thanks For this 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Thanks for the knowledge ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your great knowledge with us

Disagree but both are great

I won't call this late antiquity anymore. This is early medival history. But yeah, this is literally just when late antiquity ended so the differences is not a lot.

@@johnpijano4786 late antiquity is between 250-700 ad. Look up any historian comment on subject

​@@johnpijano4786 late antiquity is 250-700 ad. Look up and historians view of the area

​@@johnpijano4786 late antiquity is defined as 250-700 AD. Look up almost all historians, as this is the defined time period.

@@christopherevans2445 I do not care. The Middle Ages began after the fall of Rome. Rome fell in AD 476. It is that simple.

Ahahahah so true 🤣

Clovis is only the latin spelling. - At that time the Franks language was Frankish. Frankish has nothing in common with latin. So the right pronounciation of the kings name in his own language is Chlodwig. - It is still hundreds of years to come until the (West) Frankish language evolves into French.

@@jaber70599 Interesting. When did they start speaking Latin? Was it before Charlemagne? That aspect of French history is mystery. How a Germanic tribe adopted Latin, similar to Visigoths I suppose.

​@jaber70599 chlodwig-ludwig germanic blood both them

@@stevo271 Yes. the Franks did the same as the Visigoths did. On the other hand are the saxons in England. They did not adopt the Latin language. - First: Franks served as soldiers and even generals in the Roman empire army for a long time. We must assume that at least higher ranks Franks have a good command of the latin language. - Second: After defeating roman power and establishing Frankish rule the Franks did not destroy the local roman administration and clerical organisation. Frankish rule was just a military coup. Not an invasion. Then in the western part of the Frankish territory the Franks slowly merged with the Romans.Their languages merged into the now French - We know for sure that shortly after Charlemagne the Franks in the western part of the country did not speak the same language any more as the Franks in the eastern part. They speak Old French and Old German and a they needed a translation.

@@jaber70599Frankish evolved into Dutch. Not into French.

he was nit, he was king of the franks. the first real king of france was Charles the Bald

@@67cudaksa34 I know it's more complicated, but the simplified story we learned at school is Clovis first french king. And the catholics love that with the baptism and all...

It's coming, just got a little lost in the Alps.

Exactly..

@@rafetizer 😂

@@achetmollier578 Thanks for the support guys! See Mago (HistoryMarche)?? Hannibal (2nd Punic War) Part 20!!

It's crazy because this channel is amazing but in all comments about Hannibal you never see a response why!?...

And it's probably one of the most important periods in human history

As a french lad i support this suggestion. Saint Quentin is indeed a good topic although i think the subject of french/italian relationship, wich has been very interesting over centuries, would maybe need a few videos before getting to the battle of St Quentin itself, at least some broad recap of how relations evolved and culminated to this important battle as people not informed on this specific subject may find themselves a bit lost without proper explanation :-) Great idea though, a series between 1450 to 1700+ or so about french and italian history could be a link to the later napoleonis wars, wich has already been developped in detail on the channel !

Father to other countries as well, I believe.

I thought you were gonna say he’s your father figure lmao 🤣

@@rc8937 Sigebert would be the father of Germany then since Clovis couldn't care less about the Ripuarian Franks and didn't helped them

So you are saying France is actually Germanic?

@@ommsterlitz1805 How about Belgium?

Wasn’t there a story where he axed one of his men on a whim?

@@JayzsMryes but he was one of the nicer Merovingians his son clothair killed both of his nephews and burned alive his son whole family after he rebelled.

Yes.​@@JayzsMr

@@Nicholas-ch5lnnope

But he is a Nestorian Christian 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And not all influenced by later Christian writings...

Clovis in reality: "God damn this is a tough fight! I pray I can win!" 😂

Source? A battle can go really anyway so obviously he'd turn to the almighty Jesus Christ. Not sure where you're getting all of this from like it was written down or something. Christians prayed before battle so that they may win (Obviously).

We will say that this is a starting point in the very long process of several centuries, because even if what you say is true, the Franks never stopped ruling in Gaul (hence the name "France" after), there were simply several dynasties, and different evolutions and developments since then.

Many countries trace their origins to the Franks. France was just West Francia. Germany was East Francia.

@@rc8937 Of course, but the Ottonian dynasty was before all Saxons too. From the Merovingians, the Carolingians, the Capetians, etc... All Kings and Nobles of France were directly Frankish of origins. There were a continuity, whatever the Dynasty throughout times.

Fr I like his name
