An over-all study of homeostatic mechanism inherent to the Merovingian state system

在过去的几十年里，我对墨洛温王朝国家体系所固有的一些法律和政治方面进行了研究，我已经确信这种国家结构所特有的机制有利于维持国家建设。我称之为“内稳态机制和墨洛温状态”。我认为这一机制由以下五个部分组成：1)王权的特征；2)国家划分为三个王国；3)王室的婚姻策略；4)明确的税收制度；5)墨洛温朝臣的载体通行与任命他们为主教的不对称关系。许多学者指出，墨洛温王朝的王室有一种奇怪的温和的外表。一位法国学者分析了六世纪后期文纳斯·福尔图纳的朝臣诗人的作品得出结论，墨洛温王朝的王权缺乏意识形态的光环，如果我可以加一点的话，这一点仍然很重要关于国王葬礼的葬礼仪式的描述更加幸运。国王的行为举止似乎比世俗官员高明。(2)将墨洛温王朝划分为三个小王国，这不仅使他们能够以最方便和有效的方式管理国家，而且还使他们拥有适当的地理面积。对于这个国家的自我平衡特性来说，重要的是在三国之间，贵族和有影响力的官员可以在遇到机会时一个接一个地服务。我们通过对墨洛温王朝的官员进行体象学调查，发现了这一现象。这种制度和政治手段的存在，给了颜面尽失的伪军一个机会，使他们放弃了一场可能会给国家带来巨大危机的起义。创造墨罗温王朝的最惊人和最巧妙的政治表演，一定是在他们的婚姻政治中表现出来的。由于进入皇室晋升的唯一潜在条件是候选人的皇室血统，因此控制血缘关系变得至关重要。直到20世纪中叶，墨洛温王朝还维持着与外国王府的异族通婚原则，但由于野蛮王国的灭亡，他们无法获得足够的外国王室资源，于是开始与出身低贱的女性进行联姻，以阻碍有影响力的母系亲属的形成。征税对于墨洛温王朝获得财政资源至关重要。他们付出了巨大的努力来维持他们从古罗马帝国继承下来的财政体系，不是一个完全同质的体系，而是一个完整的体系。重要的是要把它保留在有可能征收的地方，从而保持财政征收的习惯。5)当高级官员从宫廷退休时，他们通常会获得当地主教的职位。从制度和政治社会的角度来看，中央政府更看重教会组织，而不是王室的地方官员。这并不是说皇室统治有宗教气息，而是说当地政府剥夺了圣公会的权力。王权以主教的身份派遣具有文字能力的前国家，对地方行政进行了维护。少

Inquiring into a number of legal and political aspects inherent to the Merovingian state system over a few decades, I have been convinced with the mechanism proper to this state structure, which functioned in favor of sustaining the state construction. I call it the "homeostatic mechanism & Merovingian state". I think that the mechanism consists of five following components: 1) Characterization of kingship, 2) Division of the State into three kingdoms, 3) Matrimonial strategy of royal dynasty, 4) Articulated system of tax imposition and 5) Asymmetrical relationship between carrier-pass of the Merovingian courtiers and their nomination to the Episcopal see.1) Many scholars have pointed out a strangely moderate appearance of the royals in Merovingian dynasty. One of the French dassists who analyzed the works of courtier poet of Venance Fortuna in the later sixth century concluded that the Merovingian kingship is curt of ideological aura and that point is still dear if I may add the total … More luck of description about a funeral ceremony proper to the king's burial. The king conducted as if he was ahead of secular officials. 2) Division of Merovingian state into three under-kingdoms allowed them to govern the state not only in a most convenient and efficient way but also with an appropriate geographical size. It was important for the homeostatic nature of this state that among the three under-kingdoms, noble and influential office-holders could serve one after another if they met opportunities. We find this phenomenon by executing a prcsopographical investigation about the Merovingian office-holders. Existence of this kind of institutional and political device gave a chance for the disgraced faking to work Mother under-kingdom, thus to make them renounce a possible insurrection that had to have provoked a big crisis for the state. 3) The most astonishing and skillful political performance that created the Merovingians must be expressed in their matrimonial politics. As the only potential condition to make access to royal ascension has been the fact that the candidate descended from the royal blood, the control of blood relationships got the prime importance. Until mid-sloth century, the dynasty maintained the principal of exogamy with a foreign king's house, but 'after they couldn't be offered adequate resource of foreign royal stocks, because of falls of barbarian kingdoms, the Merovingians began to execute, concubinary relations with low-born women to obstruct the formation of an influential maternal relative. 4) Imposition of tax had prime importance for acquiring the financial resource for the Merovingians. They made great effort to -maintain the fiscal system that they inherited from Ancient Western Roman Empire, not as an entirely homogeneous system but as an articulated ones. Important is to maintain it in the localities wherever it was possible to impose, thus to keep the habit of fiscal imposition. 5) When high-ranked office holders retired from court services, they often got position of local bishop. From institutional and politico-social point of view, the central government looked for ecclesiastical organization more than royal local staffs as counts. That doesn't mean that the royal domination has a religious scent but the fact the local government deprived from the Episcopal see (Civitasrepublik). Dispatching former countries with writing ability as bishop, the kingship executed an up-keep of local administration. Less
