*Merovee, King of the Franks from 447-458 A.D., was an adherent of the cult of Diana. His Son,
Childeric I, 458-481 A.D, practiced witchcraft (Paganism). His son, Clovis I, 481-511 A.D., adopted
christianity in 496 A.D.
   *In 496 A.D., the Bishop of Rome made a pact with Clovis, the Grandson of Merovee, King of the
Franks, calling him "The New Constantine", giving him authority to preside over a "Christianized
Roman Empire". (The term "Holy Roman Empire" was not officially used until 962 A.D.)
(bk-4,11-13)  At this time the church was not yet aware of the Merovingian connection.
   *Rev. J.R. Church, author of "Guardians of the Grail", traces the lineage of these Merovingian
Kings and documents that most European royalty descends from this bloodline, including the
Hapsburg dynasty and the present royalty of Spain.
   *Clovis was suceeded by his son Dagobert II, born in 651. Clovis ruled the Franks and Gauls from
France and died when Dagobert was age 5. A struggle broke out for ascendancy to the throne.
5-year old Dagobert was reported to have been killed. But, in fact he was kidnapped by a catholic
priest and spirited away to Ireland where he was raised and protected at the Irish Monastary of
Slane, not far from Dublin, and here at the school attached to the monastary, he recieved an
education unobtainable in France at the time. (bk-1,247)
   *In 666, Dagobert II married a Celtic Princess, fathering three daughters but no sons. Soon he
moved to England establishing residence at York. His first wife died in 670 A.D. and Dagobert II
returned to France. He married his second wife, Giselle de Razes, daughter of the Count of Razes
and niece of the King of the Visigoths in southern France. The marriage was celebrated at Rennes le
Chateau, a Visigoth bastion, the same village where Saunier found the secret genealogies in 1891.
With this marriage, the Merovingian bloodline was now allied with the Royal bloodline of the
Visigoths, who had strong gnostic tendencies. Dagobert II was in fact converted to the religion by his
wife, turning away from his catholic heritage.
     Finally, in 674, with the support of his mother and her advisors, the long exiled monarch
announced who he was, reclaimed his realm and was officially proclaimed King of Austrisia, which
took in the territory of North-Western Europe and parts of what are now Austria and Germany.
(bk-1,250)
   *Dagobert II established a Coat-Of-Arms for Rennes le Chateau consisting of two triangles
interlaced, one, white and upright and the other black and upside down, forming a six-pointed star.
This is a dominant symbol in Freemasonry. (bk-1,396)
   *Mackey's "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry" defines the six-pointed star as representing the good
and evil powers in life. (bk-6)
   *Dagobert II set himself against the Roman church and by this time Rome was knowledgable
about the Merovingian "Heresay".
   *On Dec. 3,679, while resting under a tree during a hunt in the Ardenes Forest in northern France,
Dagobert II was assassinated. The murderers then returned to his northern palace intent on
exterminating the rest of the Royal family. (bk-2,52)
