Frankrikeedit
From The Anglish Moot
Frankrike (République Française in French) is a land in western Europe, its headtown is Paris. The land is hemmed by Belgland, Teutonland, Switzerland and Italy in the east, and by Spain in the south west. On the north, south and west it is hemmed by seas. About 60,000,000 folk live in Frankrike, most of whom speak French. The bulk of the folk who dwell in Frankrike are living in towns, not out in the land. It belongs to the European Band as well.
[edit] Earthlore
Most of northern Frankrike is on lowlying land stretching from the West of rike to out beyond the borders of Frankrike all the way to Russland. Two big berg groups lie at least in part within its borders: the Alps and the Pyrenees. Woods cover several lone parts of Frankrike; while much land is used for farming and the making of wines, cheeses, wheats for bread, and outer parts of towns often have bulkbuildship. Big waterflows inclose the Seine, Ardeen, the Rhone, and the Marne.
[edit] Eretide
Frankrike gets its name from a Teutonish kindred that settled around what is now northern Frankrike called the Franks. However, its eretide begins much farther back, starting in written eretide with the Celtic kindreds that dwelled in the Seine and Rhone outflow dales. The Roman Kyserdom came to lead this land after being overtaken by Julius Caesar. After several hundred years of Roman leading, Teutonish kindreds overthrew the Romans and built their own kingdoms out of the land. It was not until the time of the Frankish Kingdom and the coming of Karl the Great that the groundwork for today's rike would be set. Karl the Great swelled the kingdom and made a Kyserdom out of it, overcoming all those who stood in his path. However, with his death, his Kyserdom was split into three kingdoms. The one farthest west would over time become the Frankrike of today.
Frankrike was ruled by kings until the French Overthrowing in 1789, in which the folk of the land sought their freedom from overwielding and areless kings. Then, a folkdom was said forth.
However, Napoleon wrestled leadership from all others and lead Frankrike into a great war that ended in its landfyrd being overwhelmed in Frankrike, though Napoleon was still upheld by many as a folk winner for several outstanding struggles and strikes that he lead during the war and beforehand.
Frankrike bore heavy losses in both World Wars, though it ended up winning both. Today, Frankrike is the yielding of all of its eretide.
