سياسة الفرنجة الميروفنجيين تجاه مملكة القوط الشرقيين في إيطاليا 535-554 م

الملخص EN

One of the important events in the history of medieval Europe, the Germanic invasions, which resulted in the establishment of a number of Germanic kingdoms on the ruins of the Roman Empire, such as the Franks in Gaul and the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths in the Italian peninsula.

The Kingdom of the Franks had a special importance, the kingdom that changed the face of European history at the beginning of the Middle Ages; Because it is the only kingdom that was able to survive in Europe at the expense of the Roman Empire, after it succeeded in blending Roman civilization with the customs of the Franks.

The Frankish kingdom had many foreign political relations with the neighboring Germanic kingdoms.

Several political relations existed between the Franks and the Ostrogoths on the Italian peninsula, between friendly relations, alliances and political affinities at times, and at other times hostile relations.

The relationship between them ended in the end with the Franks taking over the province of Provence and part of the province of Dauphin from the East Goths, but the Franks did not succeed in helping The Ostrogoths in maintaining their kingdom against the Byzantine Empire, and eventually the Italian peninsula fell prey to the Byzantines in 554 AD.

The importance of the study is to monitor and analyze the political relations that were established between the Ostrogothic Franks, through the historical sources associated with this period, to clarify and highlight the nature of these relations until the Byzantines eliminated and seized the Ostrogoth kingdom in 554 AD.
