In 568, Italy was once again conquered this time by the Lombards. They were to eventually be converted to Christianity. The Lombards did, however, push the popes into the arms of the Franks who quickly formed an alliance with them. It soon appeared to many that the church had the power to remove or place a ruler on the throne.
Law and Order = peace
Civilization = knowledge
Christianity = true religion
In the age of Charles the Frank there was a rule of lawlessness. Charlemagne worked all his life trying to establish a well-working community and he even set up a school. The alliance set up between the Franks and the Church soon showed fruit.
I'll get Chapter 8 on here as soon as I get it back from Pastor.
