I'm thinking of a RADICAL change of this page and would like to know if there is an editor active of this page. Anyone? Johanthon 12:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, check the history who made importnat contributions. What do you think is wrong with this page? Tom Peters 15:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- What I think is wrong is his birth date and his first appearance in history and of course the thing "semi-legendary" for he was not. Furthermore there are things like "castle rather than a village", Artois, Hesdin and "agressive". Needless to say that the tabel of the Merovingian kings is really full of errors.
- Doubtfull are things like his date of death, Salian Franks (was he?), Pharamond, Argotta, Marcomer, "regrouped", Tournai, "ültimately created the country that is now France" (which was created by Carolingians after the death of Louis).
- On top of that there are no sources used but internet and a context is completely missen. johanthon 14:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
This page is actually pretty good. The semi-legendary status fair. Gregory of Tours, the main source for him, is writing well over a hundred years later, and from dubious sources, its very difficult to argue anything more firmly. See Ian Wood's book The Merovingian Kingdoms, for more details.--Snozzbert12 16:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
