This mod lets the Merovingians have another chance. It is entirely historically inaccurate (I assume), but it gives me the feels when ancient dynasties die out so I figured I'd give them another crack at it.
If you've ever bothered looking at the Merovingian dynasty, you'd see that the last Merohing King of the Franks had one son, who died at 10, called Théoderic.
Well in this mod Théoderic died at 887 and had a son, this is how the new family tree goes:
You'll have noticed a couple of things, 1. Childéric is the Duc of Valois, 2. Bertoare and Childéric are twins and had a kid together (they are married). The twins also have a claim on the kingdoms of France, Lotharingia, Burgundy, Germany/East Frankia, and Aquitaine. This is the most realistic I think compared to the Merovingians holdings before they were usurped by the Carolingians. You'll be able to reconquer your ancestral lands, and maybe even a couple extra kingdoms on the side, who knows? Maybe you'll even be known as the first Long Haired Emperor.
1.0 RELEASED!!!
