I know all you history buffs will love a web site i found that links the Merovingians to the Annanuki, Atlanteans, and somehow to a Divine Race. No this is not the "divine right of kings" idea. [Merovingian Mythos]

I had a look at this. It is likely to appeal to people interested in mythology and legend more than, or as well as, hard history (includes me). The Atlantean mythos certainly needs a good going over by someone who knows what they are on about. sjc

Oh no! Next we'll be into the Holy Blood Holy Grail stuff about the Merovingians as the lineal descendents of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and how Charlemagne and the Church suppressed all this! Medieval history is complicated enough without conspiracy theory added to it. There's an excellent book whose first third explains the Carolingian takeover as well as anything in English - Rosamund Mckitterick's Frankish Kingdoms under the Carolingians. --MichaelTinkler
My fears exactly. I thought it best to jump on top of it before it gets out of hand :-) sjc

Not to worry. I am not going to insult the excellent history writers on wiki with my own views. The link was provided mainly for entertainment.

codswallop. Maybe I should add it to lectures to spice things up? JHK

Indubitably... it had me in stitches. sjc
