Carloman of France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carloman (c.862-12 December 884), king of Western Francia, was the eldest son of King Louis the Stammerer and Ansgarde, and became king, jointly with his brother Louis III of France, on his father's death in 879. He was a fourth generation descendant of Charlemagne.

A 15th century depiction of the victory of Carloman and Louis III over the Vikings by the Vienne, 879 (image from the Bibliothèque nationale de France)Some nobles advocated electing a sole king, but eventually both brothers were elected kings. Although doubts were cast upon their legitimacy, the brothers obtained recognition and in March 880 divided their father's realm at Amiens, Carloman receiving Burgundy and Aquitaine.

However, Duke Boso had renounced his allegiance to both brothers and had been elected King of Provence. In the summer of 880 the brothers Carloman and Louis marched against him, took Mâcon and the northern parts of Boso's realm. They united their forces with those of Charles the Fat and unsuccessfully besieged Vienne from August to November. Only in the summer of 882, Vienne was taken after being besieged by Richard, Count of Autun.

About the same time, in August 882, Carloman became sole king owing to his brother's death, but the kingdom was in a deplorable condition partly owing to incursions from the Norman raiders, and his power was very circumscribed. There were revolts of the feudal lords even in Burgundy.

Carloman met his death while hunting on December 12, 884 and was succeeded in the rule by his uncle, the Emperor Charles the Fat.

Note from Ben M. Angel:

In the era of Carloman, France did not exist. Further, he ruled over that part of the Frankish realm that corresponded with present Germany (Austrasia). He was part of the family that later became the Carolingian dynasty, but this did not serve as his name during his lifetime. There is no information on where he was born - even tracing the movements of his father, Charles Martel, does not produce many hints about this.

From the English Wikipedia page on Carloman, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia (Maire du Palais et duc des Francs, brother of Pippin the Short):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolman,_son_of_Charles_Martel

And the French Wikipedia page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carloman_%28fils_de_Charles_Martel%29

Carloman (between 706 and 716[1] – 17 August[2] 754) was the eldest son of Charles Martel, major domo or mayor of the palace and duke of the Franks, and his wife Chrotrud.

On Charles' death (741), Carloman and his brother Pippin the Short succeeded to their father's legal positions, Carloman in Austrasia, and Pippin in Neustria. He was a member of the family later called the Carolingians and it can be argued that he was instrumental in consolidating their power at the expense of the ruling Merovingian kings of the Franks.

He withdrew from public life in 747 to take up the monastic habit.

Assumption of power

After the death of his father, power was not initially divided to include Grifo, another of Charles' sons, by his second wife Swanachild. This was per Charles' wishes, though Grifo demanded a portion of the realm from his brothers, who refused him.

By 742, Carloman and Pippin had ousted their half-brother, Grifo and forced him into a monastery, and each turned his attention towards his own area of influence as major domo, Pippin in the West (in what was called Neustria, roughly what is now France) and Carloman in the East (in what was called Austrasia, roughly what is now Germany), which was the Carolingian base of power.

With Grifo contained, the two mayors, who had not yet proved themselves in battle in defence of the realm as their father had, on the initiative of Carloman, installed the Merovingian Childeric III as king (743), even though Martel had left the throne vacant since the death of Theuderic IV in 737.

Unlike most medieval instances of fraternal power sharing, Carloman and Pippin for seven years seemed at least willing to work together; certainly, they undertook many military actions together. Carloman joined Pippin against Hunald of Aquitaine's rising in 742 and again in 745.

Pippin assisted Carloman against the Saxons 742-743, when Duke Theoderic was forced to come to terms, and against Odilo of Bavaria in 742 and again in 744, when peace was established between the brothers and their brother-in-law, for Odilo had married their sister Hiltrude.

Strengthening of the dynasty

In his own realm, Carloman strengthened his authority in part via his support of the Anglo-Saxon missionary Winfrid (later Saint Boniface), the so-called "Apostle of the Germans," whom he charged with restructuring the church in Austrasia. This was in part the continuation of a policy begun under his grandfather, Pippin of Herstal, and continued to under his father, Charles Martel, who erected four dioceses in Bavaria (Salzburg, Regensburg, Freising, and Passau) and gave them Boniface as archbishop and metropolitan over all Germany east of the Rhine, with his seat at Mainz.

Boniface had been under Charles Martel's protection from 723 on; indeed the saint himself explained to his old friend, Daniel of Winchester, that without it he could neither administer his church, defend his clergy, nor prevent idolatry.

Carloman was instrumental in convening the Concilium Germanicum in 742, the first major Church synod to be held in the eastern regions of the Frankish kingdom. Chaired jointly by him and Boniface, the synod ruled that priests were not allowed to bear arms or to host females in their houses and that it was one of their primary tasks to eradicate pagan beliefs.

While his father had frequently confiscated church property to reward his followers and to pay for the standing army that had brought him victory at Tours, (a policy supported by Boniface as necessary to defend Christianity) by 742 the Carolingians were wealthy enough to pay their military retainers and still support the Church. For Carloman, a deeply religious man, it was a duty of love, for Pippin a practical duty. Both saw the necessity of strengthening the ties between their house and the Church.

Therefore, Carloman sought to increase the assets of the church. He donated, for instance, the land for one of Boniface's most important foundations, the monastery of Fulda.

Political ruthlessness

Despite his piety, Carloman could be ruthless towards real or perceived opponents. After repeated armed revolts and rebellions, Carloman in 746 convened an assembly of the Alamanni magnates at Cannstatt and then had most of the magnates, numbering in the thousands, arrested and executed for high treason in the Blood Court at Cannstatt. This eradicated virtually the entire tribal leadership of the Alamanni and ended the independence of the tribal duchy of Alamannia, which was thereafter governed by counts appointed by their Frankish overlords.

These actions strengthened Carloman's position, and that of the family as a whole, especially in terms of their rivalries with other leading barbarian families such as the Bavarian Agilolfings.

Withdrawal from public life

On 15 August 747, Carloman renounced his position as major domo and withdrew to a monastic life, being tonsured in Rome by Pope Zachary. All sources from the period indicate that Carloman's renunciation of the world was volitional, although some have speculated that he went to Rome for other, unspecified reasons and was "encouraged" to remain in Rome by the pope, acting on a request from Pepin to keep Carloman in Italy.[3]

Carloman founded a monastery on Monte Soratte and then went to Monte Cassino. All sources from the period indicate that he believed his calling was the Church.

He withdrew to Monte Cassino and spent most of the remainder of his life there, presumably in meditation and prayer. His son, Drogo, demanded from Pippin the Short his father's share of the family patrimony, but was swiftly neutralised.[4]

At the time of Carloman's retirement, Grifo escaped his imprisonment and fled to Bavaria, where Duke Odilo provided support and assistance. But when Odilo died a year later and Grifo attempted to seize the duchy of Bavaria for himself, Pippin, who had become sole major domo and dux et princeps Francorum, took decisive action by invading Bavaria and installing Odilo's infant son, Tassilo III, as duke under Frankish suzerainty.

Grifo continued his rebellion, but was eventually killed in the battle of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in 753.

Seven years after Carloman's retirement and on the eve of his death, he once more stepped briefly on the public stage. In 754, Pope Stephen II had begged Pippin, now king, to come to his aid against the king of the Lombards, Aistulf.

Carloman left Monte Cassino to visit his brother to ask him not to march on Italy (and possibly to drum up support for his son Drogo).[5] Pippin was unmoved, and imprisoned Carloman in Vienne, where he died on 17 August. He was buried in Monte Cassino.

CARLOMAN ([705/10]-4 Dec 754, bur Vienne, Isère).

Einhard names "Karlomannum…et Pippinum atque Grifonem" as the three sons of "Karlus maior domus" when recording the latter's death[167].

The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Pipinum, Karlomannum, Griphonem et Bernardum" sons of "Karolus senior…ex regina"[168]. "Karlomanni filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 1 Jan 722 under which "Karolus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "castrum…Fethna sitam in pago Nifterlaco" to the monastery "infra muros Traiecto castro"[169].

He succeeded his father as maior domus, jointly with his brother Pepin. They deprived their half-brother Grifo of his inheritance, and defeated him after he rebelled against them. In the division of territories agreed with his brother, Carloman governed Austrasia, Alemannia, Thuringia and northern Alsace.

The brothers were faced with revolts in Frisia, Bavaria, Alemannia and Aquitaine. As a symbolic assertion of their authority, they nominated Childeric III as [Merovingian] king in 743. Einhard records that "Karlomannus" was in Saxony at "castrum Hohseoburg" and there accepted the surrender of "Theodericum Saxonem illius loci primarium" in 743[170].

"Childerichus rex Francorum" with "Karolomanno maiores domus, rectori palatio nostro" confirmed donations to the monastery of Stablo and Malmedy by charter dated Jul 744[171].

In 745, Carloman's brother Pepin appropriated the province of Alemannia for himself. Carloman reasserted his authority with an expedition against the Alemans in 746, massacring the leaders who had betrayed him to his brother. This triggered the defection of his other supporters, and Carloman relinquished power.

The Chronicon Sancti Medardi Suessionensis records that “Carlomannus frater Pippini junioris” became a monk in 745 and that “Pippinus junior parvus frater eius” obtained the whole of “Principatum Francorum”[172].

The Royal Frankish Annals record that, after 15 Aug 747, he left for Rome, where he built the monastery of St Sylvester on Monte Soracte before moving to the monastery of St Benedict at Monte Cassino where he became a monk[173]. He returned to France in 753 to oppose the request by Pope Stephen III (II) for Frankish help against the Lombards[174].

The Annales Moselleni record the death in 754 of "Karlamannus"[175]. m ---. The name of Carloman's wife is not known. Carloman & his wife had [three or more] children:

a) DROGO ([730/35]-after 753). "Karlemannus maiorum domus filius quondam Karoli" made a donation of property including "villa…Levione…in pago Condustrinse…" to "monasterio Stabulaus seu Malmundario" dated 8 Jun [746], subscribed by "Drogone filio eius"[176]. He succeeded his father in 747 as maior domus. His uncle Pepin set him aside in 753 and sent him to a monastery where he died soon after.

b) [other children. Settipani refers to texts which refer to "the children of Carloman" without naming them, but he does not cite these sources[177].]

From the English Wikipedia page on Carloman's son, Drogo, Mayor of the Palace:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drogo,_Mayor_of_the_Palace

Drogo was the eldest son of Carloman, mayor of the palace of Austrasia. He was born before Carloman came to power in 741.

In 747 Carloman went on a pilgrimage to Rome, leaving his sons under the guardianship of his uncle Pepin the Short and the king, Childeric III. Drogo, the eldest, had probably already reached his majority and may have been left behind as mayor of the palace by his father.

Drogo's position was strong at this point and he held a church synod in 747 or 748 competing with a simultaneous synod held by Pepin. The great reformer and apostle to the Germans, Boniface, was unsure which one to attend.

After the birth of a son, Charles, to Pepin on 2 April 748, Drogo's position weakened. Carloman stayed behind in Italy to become a monk at Monte Soracte (either of his own volition or at Pope Stephen II's request) and Pepin began to manoeuvre against Drogo.

By 751 Pepin's position was strong enough to garner papal support for a takeover of the kingdom, and Childeric was deposed and Pepin crowned in his place. Drogo was forced to flee. In 753 Pope Stephen and Carloman came to Francia, the former to lend support to Pepin, the latter possibly to Drogo.

Pepin imprisoned Carloman in Vienne and Drogo was captured, tonsured, and put in a monastery.

Karloman (ca 710[1]-17. august[2] 754) var sønn av Karl Martell og hans kone Chrotrud. Da Karl døde i 741, etterfulgte han og hans bror Pipin den yngre sin fars embeter, Pipin i Neustria og Karloman i Austrasia. Han var medlem av familien som senere ble kalt karolingerne og det kan hevdes at han var viktig i konsolideringen av deres makt på bekostning av de herskende merovingerkongene til frankerne. Han trakk seg tilbake fra det offentlige liv i 747 for å gå i kloster.

Veien til makten
Etter at hans far døde, ble makten innledningsvis delt slik at den inkluderte Grifo, Karls uekte sønn. Dette var etter Karls ønske, og selv om Grifo krevde en del av rike fra sine brødre, nektet de ham dette. I løpet av 742 hadde Karloman og Pipin fjernet Grifo og tvunget ham i kloster, og begge vendte sin oppmerksomhet mot sitt eget innflytelsesområde som rikshovmestre, Pipin i vest og Karloman i øst.

De to rikshovmestrene hadde ennå ikke bevist noen ting på slagmarken i forsvar for riket slik hans far hadde, og innsatte derfor etter at Grifo var i forvaring, den merovingiske Childerik III som konge (743), selv om Martell hadde latt tronen stå tom etter Teoderik IV som døde i 737. Karloman innså at før de hadde etablert seg som beskyttere av riket og troen, slik deres far hadde, trengte de marionettkongen som Karl hadde kvittet seg med. I motsetning til de fleste middelalderske tilfeller av maktdeling, virket det som Karloman og Pipin i det minste var villig til å arbeide sammen uten å sette opp komplott mot hverandre, og noen kilder antyder at brødrene likte hverandre. Sikkert er det at de iverksatte militære operasjoner som en enhet. Karloman sluttet seg til Pipin mot Hunold av Aquitaine sin oppkomst i 742 og igjen i 745. Pipin hjalp Karloman mot sakserne 742-743 og mot Odilo av Bayern i 742 og igjen i 744, da fred ble etablert mellom de to brødrene og deres svigerbror, for Odilo hadde giftet seg med deres søster Hiltrude.

Styrking av dynastiet
I sitt eget rike, styrket Karloman sin autoritet delvis via hans støtte fra den anglosaksiske misjonæren Winfrid (senere sankt Boniface), ?tyskernes apostel?, som han gav ansvaret med å restrukturere kirken i Austrasia. Dette var delvis en fortsettelse av politikken som hans bestefar, Pipin av Herstal, satte i gang og som fortsatte i mindre grad under Karl Martell.

Karloman var viktig i sammenjallingen til Concilium Germanicum i 742, den første betydelige kirkesynoden som ble holdt i de østlige delene av det frankiske kongedømmet. Ledet av ham sammen med Boniface, bestemte synoden at prestene ikke skulle få bære våpen eller gi ly til kvinner i deres hus og at det var en av deres hovedoppgaver å utrydde hedensk tro. Mens han far med jevnlige mellomrom hadde konfiskert kirkens eiendommer for å belønne sine tilhengere og betale for den stående hæren som gav dem seier ved Poitiers, var karolingerne rike nok i 742 til å betale sine militære formål og samtidig støtte kirken. For Karloman som var en dypt religiøs mann, var det en plikt av kjærlighet, for Pipin var det en praktisk plikt. Begge så nødvendigheten av å styrke båndene mellom deres familie og kirken. Derfor forsøkte Karloman å øke kirkens formue. Han donerte for eksempel området til en av Bonifaces viktigste grunnlegginger, klosteret i Fulda.

Politisk hensynsløshet
Til tross for hans fromhet, kunne Karloman være hensynsløs mot reelle eller oppfattede motstandere. I 746 sammenkalte han en forsamling av tusenvis av alemanniske magnatene i Cannstatt og fikk dem så arrestert og henrettet for landsforræderi i bloddomstolen i Cannstatt. Dette utryddet nesten hele lederskapet til alemannistammen og gjorde slutt på uavhengigheten til hertugen av Alemannia som deretter ble styrt av grever utnevnt av deres frankiske overherrer.

Disse handlingene styrket Karlomans posisjon, og familiens totalt sett, særlig med tanke på deres rivalisering med andre barbarfamilier som de bayeriske agilolfingerne.

Tilbaketrekning fra det offentlige liv
15. august 747 frasa Karloman seg posisjonen som major domus og trakk seg tilbake til klosterliv, etter å ha fått klippet en tonsur i Roma av pave Sakarias. Han grunnla Monte Soracte og reiste så til Monte Cassino. Alle kilder fra perioden indikerer at han virkelig trodde at hans bror kunne lede kongedømmet alene, og at hans kall var kirken. Han følte at han hadde gjort sin plikt for familien i seks år i nådeløs eliminering av dens fiender og styrking av dynastiet. Etter å ha fullført det han følte var hans verdslige plikt, og siden han mente at ?en hånd på sverdet holder det bedre enn to,? trakk han seg tilbake til et kloster og tilbrakte resten av sitt liv i meditasjon og bønn. Rundt tiden da Karloman trakk seg tilbake, flyktet Grifo fra sin varetekt og flyktet til Bayern, hvor hertug Odilo gav støtte og hjelp, men da Odilo døde ett år senere og Grifo forsøkte å ta tittelen greve av Bayern, gikk Pipin som nå hadde blitt major domus alene og dux et princeps Fracorum, til invasjon av Bayern og innsatte Odilos sønn som bare var et spedbarn, Tassilo III, som hertug under frankisk overherredømme. Grifo fortsatte sitt opprør, men ble til slutt drept i slaget ved Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne i 753.

Karloman dukket bare en gang til opp i historien, syv år etter at han trakk seg tilbake, på kvelden da han døde. I 754 hadde pave Stefan II bønnfalt Pipin, nå konge, til å komme til hans unnsetning mot langobardenes konge, Aistulf. Karloman besøkte sin bror for å bønnfalle om å ikke føre krigen til Italia, i den tro at frankisk intevensjon der var mot familiens langtidsinteresser, men Pipin ville ikke høre og Karloman trakk seg tilbake til Vienne, hvor han døde 17. august. Han ble gravlagt i Monte Cassino.

Carloman, son of Charles Martel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Carloman (716 -754 ) was the son of Charles Martel , Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia and Chrotrud. He was a member of the family later called the Carolingians and it can be argued that he was instrumental in consolidating their power at the expense of the ruling Merovingian kings of the Franks .
At the death of his father in 741 , an attempt was made to divide power between Carloman and his brother Pippin III and Grifo . Carloman and Pippin soon ousted Grifo, and each turned his attention towards his own area of influence, Pippin in the West and Carloman in the East.
Carloman strengthened his authority in part via his support of Boniface , the so-called "Apostle to the Germans." This was in part a continuation of a policy begun under his grandfather Pippin of Herstal and continued to a lesser extent under Charles Martel. Carloman donated the lands for Boniface's most important foundation, the monastery of Fulda .
He also was instrumental in the calling of the Concilium Germanicum , the first major Church synod to be held in the eastern parts of the Frankish kingdoms.
These actions strengthened Carloman's position, and that of the family as a whole, especially in terms of their rivalries with other leading families like the Bavarian Agilolfings . They also demonstrated a clear tendency in Carloman for pious actions.
In 747 , Carloman renounced his position and withdrew to a monastic life. He died in 754 .

Carolingian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Carolingians )
The Carolingians (also known as the "Carlovingians") were a dynasty of rulers that eventually controlled the Frankish realm and its successors from the 8th to the 10th century , officially taking over the kingdoms from the Merovingian dynasty in 751 . The name Carolingian itself comes from Charles Martel , who defeated the Moors at Poitiers in 732 . The dynasty's most prominent member is Charlemagne (in Latin : Carolus Magnus).
However, the dynasty is usually considered to have been founded by Arnulf of Metz , Bishop of Metz in the late 7th century , who wielded a great deal of power and influence in the Merovingian kingdoms. Pippin of Herstal , Mayor of the Palace of the Kingdom of Austrasia , was succeeded by his son Charles Martel as Mayor, who in turn was the father of Pippin III , called "the Short". Pippin had become king after having used his position as Mayor to garner support among many of the leading Franks, as well as Pope Zacharias , in order to depose the last Merovingian king, Childeric in 751 . Charlemagne, Pippin's son, became King of the Franks in 768 and was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III in 800 .
After the division of the empire among Charlemagne's three grandsons in the Treaty of Verdun in 843 , the Carolingians initially continued to hold the throne in all three sections that were created.
In the West, which was the nucleus of later France , they continued to be the ruling dynasty until a minor branch of the family, the Capetians , ascended the (by that time) French throne in 987 .
In the Middle, with the empty title of "Emperor" and the kingdom of Lotharingia which included Northern Italy , the major branch of the family ruled till 887 , but further division was based on the Treaty of Mersen in 870 .
In the East, the kernel of the later Holy Roman Empire , the Carolingians ruled only until 911 , the death of Louis the Child . Here, the dukes of the stem duchies eventually acclaimed a Saxon dynasty, commonly referred to as the Ottonians , who consciously modelled themselves as Carolingian successors.

He ruled jointly with Louis 879 to 884.

He ruled jointly with Louis 879 to 884.

Carloman II (c. 866 - 12 December 884), King of Western Francia, was the youngest son of King Louis the Stammerer and Ansgarde of Burgundy, and became king, jointly with his brother Louis III of France, on his father's death in 879.

Some nobles advocated electing a sole king, but eventually both brothers were elected kings. Although doubts were cast upon their legitimacy, the brothers obtained recognition and in March 880 divided their father's realm at Amiens, Carloman receiving Burgundy and Aquitaine.

However, Duke Boso had renounced his allegiance to both brothers and had been elected King of Provence. In the summer of 880 the brothers Carloman and Louis marched against him, took Mâcon and the northern parts of Boso's realm. They united their forces with those of Charles the Fat and unsuccessfully besieged Vienne from August to November. Only in the summer of 882, Vienne was taken after being besieged by Richard, Count of Autun.

About the same time, in August 882, Carloman became sole king owing to his brother's death, but the kingdom was in a deplorable condition partly owing to incursions from the Norman raiders, and his power was very circumscribed. There were revolts of the feudal lords even in Burgundy.

Carloman met his death while hunting on December 12, 884 and was succeeded in the rule by his cousin, the Emperor Charles the Fat.
