The child of a Frisian merchant, Red Falck grew up watching his father fool people into buying his own goods, and in his early teens he had the opportunity to sell horses and had the good fortune to visit the city of Rome. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

While staying in Rome, Red Falck was sent to a church school to learn Latin and writing, in the hope of his family. After learning the knowledge, Red realized that he was born in the year 890 Julian calendar.

During his studies, Red preached or copied the Bible in order to survive. Since he was not a priest, he also had the opportunity to go to the merchants of Venice.

After hearing the news that the Father's spokesman on earth, the new Pope Leo V, had been imprisoned for forty days at the hands of worldly force and speech, Red Farke felt that his three views had been turned upside down.

After much inquiry, and the new pope began to tour Rome, Red Farke learned about his small business in Rome, and with the help of the Venetian owner, he formed a small caravan and began to return to his hometown while doing business.

The young Red Falk was able to maintain a small caravan, mainly because he saved Ségius's life before leaving. After becoming Sergius III, the younger Red, relying on his eloquence honed over many years of selling goods, exchanged his reward for letters of recommendation and a few heartfelt retinues.

Of course, most of the people who were willing to go north with little Red to the distant mouth of the Seine were people with lofty ideals who were disgusted with Rome's filth and sincerely preached.

One of the Lombard twins was heavily armed heavy infantry, leading the few convoys, while the elderly Roman priest and his apprentice were the elder of the ranks. After all, whether the dead letter in Red's hand can be turned into a fief depends on the testimony of this bishop who may die at any time.

In the mercenary nature of a businessman, Red Farker asked him to be his deputy in the name of teaching the little priest Frisian.

The talkative King Charles, upon learning that Red Falk wanted to spread the greatness of the Lord further among the Frisians, and even to build a cathedral further, laughed and gave the mouth of the Vaal River, a disputed land plagued by pirates, to Red.

The land of Longxing, where the Franks used to make their fortune, was now deserted due to pirate attacks.

All Red got was a dilapidated town, one that didn't even have a simple wooden fence.

The Frisians had a long history of spreading along the northern coast of the Franks, but they had not been in charge since Roman times. First the Romans and then the Franks, and this time, after Red became a count, with conscious propaganda, he carried the banner of the Frisian nobility.

After all the wealth and connections he had accumulated, the town was finally revitalized, and from the ruins it was built into a predominantly Frisian town.

The experience in Rome not only gave Red the opportunity to make a career in Rome, but also made him lose his fear of God and broaden his mind about doing business.

The Fack family still bought and kept the Frisian horses, but rarely sold them again, choosing only fine goods as gifts for the East and West Frankish nobility.

After Red and his family got started in management, they first relied on the militia formed by the Frisians to suppress the "rebellion" of the Lombard brothers, and then secretly started a business of counterfeiting and selling holy relics.

As the years passed, Red not only personally led the cavalry to disperse several pirates, but also strengthened relations with Venice, establishing a dual economic base of Venetians and Jews in the territory.

The reliability of the Frisian cavalry allowed Red to rise in the nobility, and even raised the status of the Frisians under other lords' banners.

At the beginning of 911, Red Falck held a grand wedding to Anne, Louis's sister of Louis, a member of the East Frankish royal family who had been killed after the death of Louis, the child of the King of the Franks.

After a series of negotiations over the marriage, Red Farck withdrew from the race for the heir to East Francia in exchange for several lost titles that had fallen into the hands of the Vikings.

As a member of the royal family, and the Vikings in the north became more and more serious, Red, the most powerful vassal in the Northlands, and his fiefdom Charles, the fool of West Francia, further publicly granted him the right to rule the Flanders region, although he was not satisfied that he had not built a lavish church as promised.

At the end of the wedding, the fiefdoms that Red had obtained from East and West Francia were consolidated into a duke with the approval of Sergius III, and were no longer subordinate to the Duchy of Lorraine.

The Frisian principality, the name brought more benefits to Red than could have been imagined, and wealthy Frisian merchants and veterans from far and wide poured into the principality.

After his economic and military power skyrocketed, Red launched a war against the Vikings in de jure territory.

The Frisians, who were mainly light cavalry in the first battle, were defeated by the Viking round, or rather, by the Vikings' strong physique and insane morale.

After the battle, the nobility of East Francia gambled on the time of the downfall of the nouveau riche, and Charles III, the "fool" of West Francia, completely changed his mind.

After the defeat, Red was not comforted by the parishioners, and received several bad news in succession.

First, Sergius III, the biggest patron, died of illness, his wife's first child was miscarried, and Charles made the Norse leader "Walker" Rollo a duke, recognizing the Viking rule over the Northlands.

The successive blows made Red almost insane, and after a day of self-isolation and whipping himself in the confessional, Red Farker gave a speech on the execution table on weekdays, with a bleeding scar.

Not only did he lie that he had received instructions from God, but he also used the mouth of an angel to describe the bleak future of the Frisian nation after accepting the Vikings.

The eloquence honed by the deceitful prospective buyer, combined with the pious styling and the sudden thunder of the sunny day, the Friesians' loss of defeat and fear of the Vikings were transformed into boundless anger and courage when combined with the tragedies they had heard and witnessed in the past.

Since Rollo the Walker was sealed at the mouth of the Seine, the Viking giants who were busy establishing their rule in Rouen did not have time to take care of their compatriots in the north.

The Frisians spontaneously joined the army, and after learning the lesson of the reward, the army led by Red fought again against the Viking coalition, which had not yet been disbanded.

The Vikings, who had just won a great victory, had also planned to raid the Frisians, so naturally they would not hide from Red or hold on to the fortified city.

Outside the rare dense forests of the Lowlands, under the cover of wild horses, dozens of the best Frisian riders bravely smashed the Viking circle with giant wooden stakes in groups of four. The Vikings' brief confusion and gaps in formation allowed the Frisian crossbowmen to harvest a batch of unlucky eggs.

Without waiting for the Vikings to reorganize the shield wall, a large number of Frisians dressed in cloth and armed with mixed weapons rushed into the Vikings' formation as the first echelon.

The Vikings, relying on chain mail and physique, skillfully slashed and slashed the poorly equipped militia in front of them, lacking training and nutrition, but the heavy infantry composed of all veterans and strong men mixed in with the people, causing huge casualties to the Vikings.

As the battle became scorched, the Frisian cavalry threw javelins and axes from the flanks, then regrouped on the backs of the Vikings, and after the Vikings in the back formed a formation to prepare for the resistance, the cavalry that lit the torches rushed to the Viking camp, where the Vikings' weak tribesmen, booty, and slaves were located.

The morale of the Vikings was shaken by this, and it was difficult to form a strong counterattack, and there was a rout after the number of men was exhausted.

The cavalrymen, who were supposed to burn and loot and survive the last fiasco, brandished their swords and axes and began a vengeful pursuit.

After the battle, Red captured the Vikings' marching property, which was not only enough to pay off the huge debts of the previous year, but also to arm a large army of medium and heavy infantry.

In order to enforce the right to rule, Red began to purge the small and medium-sized nobles in the de jure territory on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason. During the Great Purge, he himself was busy rebuilding Antwerp, trying to make this promising ancient city, together with Doverland, which he had operated for many years, form a defensive chain against pirates.

After Antwerp was built, Red Farke tried to figure out the structure of Frisian rule, and after repeated attempts, he waited for the army of Rollo the "Pacer".

Supposedly, as Charles's courtiers, the two Grand Dukes should not fight each other, but Roloyal still retains the habits of the Vikings.

In the battle to defeat the main Viking force in the Dominion, Red Farke, dressed in ornate composite armor, was nicknamed "Gnome" among the Vikings.

So Red, who had just reached Rollo's shoulders, rode a tall horse and met "Walker" Rollo for the first time under the city of Antwerp.

...... The three-year-long war ......

The Viking hoplites, especially the seasoned berserkers, cost Red three successive military commanders.

In order to boost morale, Red had to become his own commander-in-chief and personally participate in the battle at the front line.

The Vikings slaughtered the villages and the city, and the rebuilt Frisian cavalry, under the command of a cavalry captain from Ireland, took full advantage of their maneuvers and harassed the rear of the Vikings.

Years of war brought famine and plague to the lowlands.

Red used the gold he earned from "restricting equal citizenship" and selling the relics of Christ to get a shipment of crude oil from the Jews. The flames of hell ignited by these black liquids turned the tide of battle.

Eventually, Red and Rollo shook hands in Paris, and the two sides refined their territorial boundaries and became the pillars of the Frankish kingdom.

Shortly thereafter, Red and Edward, the elder of England, agreed to fight against the Vikings, and the two sides tacitly bypassed King Charles III of the Franks and launched a series of cooperation covering trade, intelligence, and military affairs, and Antwerp developed rapidly as a port and military powerhouse.

Red's accomplishments galvanized the other Christian lords, and Rollo returned to his fiefdom in the face of a series of rebellions from within the realm to the periphery.

Unable to plunder enough wealth from the long war, many of his Vikings returned to the sea in search of other resources.

After Red Falck got on track in Antwerp, because of the news that his wife Anne, who had not been seen for several years, had given birth to a child, Red had to hand over the city to his brother and rush back to Doverland to deal with the follow-up.

As the saying goes, if you want to live a good life......

Archduke Red welcomed his first legitimate child, and all the Frisians celebrated it. The Grand Duke and Duchess did live a loving life for a few years after that, and had several more children.

During this time, a large number of Frisians became minor nobles (knightly prototypes), most of whom were soldiers who had survived many wars, and even a few Jews were given some desolate marshes.

Poor hygiene and medical care always favored children, and Red's eldest son and eventually his beloved child died one after another, and serious quarrels broke out in the ducal palace for the first time.

Duchess Anne went north to the convent on the shores of Lake IJsseler, and Red Farke went south to the court in Paris to participate in politics.

At the court of West Francia, the wealthy Red used novelty and beautiful jewels to capture the body of a young lady, a lady, and even a maid.

......

From his bed, Red learns from his younger sister, Catherine, Countess of Essier, that his own brother, Count Madham of Essen, is the biological father of the deceased eldest son, and is no longer with his wife, and is said to have been a guest at the nobles on the shores of Lake Ethel.

This kind of dissolute wreckage, which ended with the difficult birth of the Countess of Essen, was annihilated in the dust of history.

In 920, Robert, who had recruited Anrollo, became king surrounded by nobles, and Red became the main military force under Charles III.

In 923, while the two Frankish kings were engaged in a great battle at Soissons, the Frisian army confronted the Vikings north of Rouen.

Charlie the fool was defeated, and Robert was even more unlucky to die on the spot.

These two battles on the plains had to be hastily concluded without a victory.

Red and Charlie both have the winning ticket in hand, one busy packing and the other busy comforting Robert's orphaned Emma of France.

Emma's husband, Rudolph, devises a trap and simultaneously arrests Charlie, who has come to Paris for peace talks, and Red, who bathes in trysts.

Rudolf, Duke of Burgundy, became the winner, succeeding as Robert son-in-law as Raoul I, King of West Francia.

Under the mediation of the elder Edward, Red was the first to be released from prison in 924, and after swearing allegiance to the Capetian family, he returned to his fiefdom to spy on Rollo and his Vikings.

Without the Frisians and Vikings who did not recognize the Franks, the Frankish aristocracy began political negotiations.

In the same year the elder Edward died, and his successor, Æthelstein, did not like Red Farke, a Frisian Rollo who was said to have slept with many of his sisters, but barely maintained his covenant with the Duke of Red because of the mental and physical comfort he received from the Duchess of Anne during a business trip shortly after the death of his uncle Exered (in 911).

Selectively blind, Red had no military support from across the sea and had to deal with disputes from Rollo and East Francia.

Charles III remained in prison until his death in 929.

As the first peacetime king of East Francia to succeed to the throne by election, Henry I the "Birdcatcher" was not a king widely recognized by the Holy See and the faithful because he refused to perform religious ceremonies such as anointing at coronation.

After Rudolf succeeded to the throne as a son-in-law, Red, the son-in-law of the old East Francian king Arnulf, as the most powerful and prestigious of the remnants of the previous dynasty, aroused the hostility of several electors.

....... Calm years......

Just as 911 was an unfortunate year, many people died in 936 A.D.

Since the death of Rollo the Walker in 932 and the division of his possessions among his sons, the Vikings have ceased to be a major problem in West Francia for the time being.

Without Rollo, Raoul I conspired with Henry to attack the Frisians.

Unfortunately, not only did Henry refuse the invitation because of his war plans for the Slavs, but Ethelstein also reconciled with the confused Red because he was familiar with politics as the art of compromise, and solidified the alliance between the two families.

On January 15, 936, Rudolph "Raoul I", who had done nothing, died of illness, leaving no legitimate children.

Leder was seduced by the daughter of Edward, the elder of the dewy lover, and openly supported the succession of Charles III and Ageff's legitimate son (Louie, who returned from overseas). A prince who grew up in England was crowned king by Archbishop Altang of Remes and was known as Louis IV.

On July 2, 936, Henry the "Bird Catcher" died of illness, and East Francia was seriously deprived of financial resources due to the general election.

While Rader was preparing for a crusade to claim the throne of Otto I in East France, Hugg (the husband of one of Eggieff's sisters) repeated Rudolph's actions and poisoned the Frisian duke when Red indulged in the tenderness of the English princess.

Several of Red's sons and brothers had a disagreement on the issue of succession, and not only the throne became a thing of the past, but the territory also became several pieces, which is a later story.

After Red's death, Hugue became the de facto king, and Louis IV, dissatisfied with being a puppet, temporarily escaped from the control of his uncle-in-law and wife-lover Hugue with the help of Altang, and moved the capital to the city of Laon.

In 940, Louis IV defeated Hugue but lost to Otto I.

In November 942, Louis IV made peace with Otto, and the Earl of Flân, which had split from the Duchy of Fran, was divided between the two countries, and the Frisians kept only the narrow strip of coastal strip from the eastern shore of IJsselmeer to Antwerp, which survived as cannon fodder against pirates.

For the next ten years, Louis and Hugo fought and made peace, and even if Louis married the sister of Otto I after his wife's death, he could not avoid dying in an "accident" after another reconciliation. He was succeeded by the ten-year-old Lothair, born to his ex-wife.

Purging Red and his illegitimate sons, Hugue and his children set out to deal with the Vikings in Normandy.

In 955, Lothair and his guardian Hugue laid siege to Poitiers and conquered it. The following year (956), Hugues died, leaving behind two sons, his eldest son and heir, Huguet Capet, and his second son, Otto Henry.

Since all three were children, the power of the state passed to Lothair's uncle, Archbishop Bruno I of Cologne.

On March 2, 986, at the age of forty-five, Louis IV died of illness, and the burden of the kingdom passed to his son, Louis V.

Lothair's widow, Emma of Italy, for unspeakable reasons, sided with the emperor and G. Capet in the struggle between the king and the courtiers, and because the Roman Emperor Otto III was the son of her half-brother Otto II, she poisoned her own son, King Louis V of West Francia, and led to the succession of Hug I, giving birth to the nascent kingdom of France.

After years of cultivation, the Duchy of Fran has never forgotten the hatred. When Huger I succeeded to the throne, the then duke united several Frisian nobles to declare independence, established the Duchy of Friesland, and applied to join the Holy Roman Empire.

After the application was denied, the Duchy of Fran briefly reconciled with the successor King Robert II of France, and when Pope Robert II married a close relative and excommunicated the French king, the Frisians terminated their annexation and further expanded their territory, ruling the entire Low Countries before Robert II's death.

The newly succeeded King Fran befriended Prince Hugue, who opposed Robert II, and the Kingdom of Fran was reincorporated into the Kingdom of France under long-term military pressure from Rome, helping Huger to form an army that could overthrow Robert II, contributing to Huger's brilliant but short life.

After the death of Prince Hugue, the Frisians lost a lot of money and fell silent again.

When Henry, the second son of Robert II and who had helped succeed William, Duke of Normandy, come to power, the royal family and the Vikings were back together.

During the reign of Philip I after Henry, the Duchy of Fran fell apart under the blows of the Normans, the English, and the Franks.

Decades later, no nobleman on the continent claimed to be a Frisian, and the Duchy of Fran, the populist domination of the Frisians, seemed to have never existed, and the Falke family left nothing but the actions of successive Grand Dukes, which had become a word in the English language.
