<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 1893811, member: 44210&quot;]Why are the Carolingians and the Franks relevant you ask? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Well, the Frankish nation was the most powerful and stable state to exist in western Europe since the Western Roman Empire fell in the late 5th century AD, helping to establish and maintain order during the Dark Ages. The Carolingians and their predecessor dynasty the Merovingians managed to keep Europe safe from Muslim conquest, and the division of the Carolingian Empire provided the bases for the modern nations of France and Germany.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
