The Rest Is History
523. Charlemagne: Return of the Kings (Part 1)
Tom Holland
The kind of senatorial figures who had been the wealthy elites of Roman Gaul. And these families still preserve their authority. through the institution of the episcopate, through having themselves elected by their local cities as bishops. If you want an example of a class of people who preserve the traditions of the vanished Roman Empire, Frankish bishops are your guys.
