The Franks were the "Third Reich" of the European continent after Greece and Rome.

The "Byzantium (Eastern Rome)" further east, because of its belief in "Orthodox Christianity", is different from the Holy See, and its land area is far inferior to that of the Franks.

It was not considered eligible to inherit the great title of "Augustus".

Bran's most familiar Frank is called "Nang. Cape".

The nobles were to know the historical lineage of the other nobles.

Frankish, four-year-old Bran was asked by his grandfather to learn about this great family.

The nobles were to know the historical lineage of the other nobles.

"A.E. 1012-1034, which family led the then divided Franks to unify?"

"It's Capet from Valois, Nang Capet, Palace Minister and Duke of Valois"

"Why did Capet later replace the king?"

"With the old king dead and a new king succeeding him, Nange came into conflict with the younger king.

In A.E. 1036, Nange made a political request to the Pope by sending his nephew to lead a delegation to the Holy See. ”

"What's the content?"

"The envoys asked, the king does not ask about political affairs, what should the ministers do? At that time, no priest dared to answer.

Later, the elderly Pope replied that whoever worked for the kingdom was its master.

This made Nange, who was sixty-five years old at the time, let go of his most scruples, because even the Hand of God (the Pope) agreed, and nothing could stop him.

Nange later forced the young king to become a monk and imprisoned him in a monastery for the rest of his life.

Since then, the Capetian family has been at the highest stage of history.

Nange's grandson expanded the kingdom into an empire.

The Capetian family is considered by later scholars to be the greatest noble family since the Dark Ages, so it is called the 'Great Family'. ”

……

As the group stopped to rest on the side of the road, Bran saw the Frankish man approaching, and his mind remembered this history for a moment.

"Simon."

With Bran's voice, the Frank man approached quickly.

"Your Highness."

Bran spoke to him in Latin, with occasional classical questions and answers in preparation for entering the monastery.

The accompanying Frank, with his "baldness" on the top of his head and some fine hair around him, looked very similar to the clergyman's "kappa head".

"Simon Nelson," now in Chinese New Year's Eve, once joined the local church, so he wrote a good hand, and was expelled for "impure private life."

By chance, he became a Latin teacher of a baron who pursued culture.

The baron had been encouraged to join Howard's 2,500-strong brigade against the rebels as a vanguard officer, and Simon, who could read, was also accompanied by him as a dispatch assistant.

The baron was hit by an arrow in the knee, and after taking out the arrow, he unfortunately died of "inflammation", and Simon had nowhere to go, so he fled all the way back to the manor with Howard, which can be regarded as the work of "protecting the lord and not leaving".

The Grand Duke, who had experienced a mutiny, of course liked this kind of subordinate, so he asked Simon to stay in charge of the fields, and sent him to other surrounding towns to trade goods on a daily basis, or to go to the port to inquire about Venice and the surrounding lords.

Simon was given the position of "Bachelor of Court" appointed by the Grand Duke.

Bran's Latin teacher was Simon, and Simon was instructed in "basic theology."

Bran learned the "four ways of writing the Pope", the hierarchy between the various levels of the Church, the responsibilities, how to pray to God, the holy wars that take place in distant places, and other precious things.

Although he was not good-looking, Bran felt that Simon was quite learned, and that he was funny in conversation, rather than full of saintly precepts.

Simon had almost become a county bishop, a priest alongside the earl, who was perfectly qualified to be the guide of the manor's worship and chanting.

But Simon thought he had been expelled for breaking the vows, and he didn't dare to promise Bran lest he blaspheme.

I don't know how many miles it will take, but Bran knows that after eight villages, he will reach the main city of the Republic, "Mees", which is where Mrs. Meghan is.

By night, they had passed through two villages to a third, Rabi, a village of nearly 100 people.

In this era, there were generally only three types of people who could travel by horse-drawn carriage:

Aristocrats, clergymen and squires - non-aristocratic freedmen who held a certain amount of property and paid taxes of more than six silver rubles per year.

The village chief changed into what he thought was a formal dress, wore a fur hat, and came out ceremoniously to greet him, as well as a large family of family members and servants.

Even if they were wearing the best clothes, except for the village chief and a few people, the rest of them had patches on their bodies.

Chaman Estate is well known in this area.

Because the manor and some nearby villages established material trading relations, mutual benefit.

"Your Highness, thanks to your care, there has been plenty of rain and plenty of food this year."

The village chief stepped forward, bowed deeply to Howard, and said kind things.

Two years ago, the village chief went to Meath City to buy supplies, then moved to other villages to marry a new wife, and on the way back, he was attacked by bandits, and happened to be met by Carol to escape from the tiger's mouth.

"Raymond with a loud voice", this is the villagers' private name for the village chief, whenever something unsatisfactory to Raymond happens, Raymond will take a thick long stick, directly start to beat, fields, village roads, and even other people's houses, have shot to hurt people.

But Raymond, who saw Howard, broke his body proudly, meek as a sheep, and did not roar at all.

The village chief's wife, standing behind him, was not tall, with a somewhat large face, and ordinary skin, but she was strong and stronger than some men.

There was a slight bulge in his belly, which was the result of Raymond's hard work. But his wife is still helping in the fields, she is a good helper in dealing with farm affairs, and her hard work has made Raymond's family business much more prosperous, and now he can eat more meat every two months, and this year he has built a new tiled house.
