This was due to slow communications and relativly slow transportation methods. The news of a enemy invasion, a revolt, a epidemic outbreak or of a natural disaster was carried by ship or by mounted postal service (similar to the Pony Express) and therefore needed "quite some" time to reach Rome and and required a similar amount of time until a response and a reaction reached the trouble ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - Attila the Hun - Shared kingship By 432, the Huns were united under Ruga. In 434 Ruga died, leaving his nephews Attila and Bleda, the sons of his brother Mundjuk, in control over all the united Hun tribes. At the time of their accession, the Huns were bargaining with Theodosius II's envoys over the return of several renegade tribes who had taken refuge within the Byzantine Empire. The following year, Attila and Bleda met with the imperial legation at Margus (present-day Požarevac) and, all seated on horseback in the Hunnic manner, negotiated a successful treaty: the Romans ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - Burgundians - The Burgundian Kingdoms
Burgundians - The First Kingdom.
In 411, the Burgundian king Gundahar or Gundicar set up a puppet emperor, Jovinus, in cooperation with Goar, king of the Alans. With the authority of the Gallic emperor that he controlled, Gundahar settled on the left (Roman) bank of the Rhine, between the river Lauter and the Nahe, seizing Worms, Speier, and Strasbourg. Apparently as part of a truce, the Emperor Honorius late ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - 768-877: Carolingian Franks and the kingdom of Aquitaine Toulouse and Aquitaine (as well as Gascony) were once again part of the kingdom of the Franks. Following his victory, Pippin the Short died in 768 and was followed by his sons Charlemagne and Carloman. As a result of this event, Hunald, son of the late Duke Waifer, raised an insurrection against Frankish power in Aquitaine. Charlemagne soon intervened and defeated him. In 771 Carloman died and Charlemagne was left as the only ruler of the Frankish realm. In 778 Charlemagne led his army into Spain against the Arabs. On his way back there happ ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Late Empire - After the Theodosian Dynasty
Roman Emperor Late Empire - In the West.
The wealthy senator Petronius Maximus, who succeeded Valentinian III, had attempted to secure his position by marrying Valentinian's widow, Licinia Eudoxia. The final collapse of the Empire in the West was marked by increasingly ineffectual puppet Emperors dominated by their Germanic masters of the soldiers. The most pointed example of this is the Suebian general Ricimer, who became a "Shadow Emperor" by deposing Avitus, installing and subsequently deposing (and murdering) ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Chalons - Prelude By 450 Roman control of Gaul, as with all of the provinces outside of Italy, had grown feeble. The Visigoths, who had been forcibly settled in Aquitaine a generation before, were growing increasingly restive. The Burgundians, forcibly settled near the Alps, were more submissive, but were likewise looking for openings for revolt. Northern Gaul had been all but abandoned to the Franks between the Rhine and Marne rivers in the east, and Armorica was only nominally part of the empire. The only parts still securely in Roman control were the Medit ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - Attila the Hun - Appearance, character, and name The main source for information on Attila is Priscus, a historian who traveled with Maximin on an embassy from Theodosius II in 448. He describes the village the nomadic Huns had built and settled down in as the size of the great city with solid wooden walls. He described Attila himself as:
"short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with gray; and he had a flat nose and a sw ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - Late Middle Ages: 15th to 16th The 15th century began with the creation of the Parliament by Charles VII. Promising an exemption of taxes, the King reinforced his influence and defied the Capitouls administration. Invested with the rights of jurisdiction, the Parliament gained its political independence thereafter.
This century is also the stage of many food shortages. The roads were worn and unreliable, and Toulouse experienced a terrible fire in 1463. The dwellings located between the current Alsace-Lorraine street and the Garonne river were decimated. The city encounte ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - Late Middle Ages: 13th Catharism is a doctrine coming from Bulgaria, professing the separation of the material and the spiritual existences. It conflicts with the orthodox confession. Called "heretics", the Cathares found a strong audience in the south of France, and during the 12th century. Simon de Montfort tried to exterminate them.
Toulouse was reached by the Cathare doctrine too. The "white" orthodoxes pursued the "black" heretics in the streets of the city. The Foulques abbot took advantage of this because the ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - 877-10th: county of Toulouse's first steps By the end of the 9th century, Toulouse had become the capital of an independent county, the county of Toulouse, ruled by the dynasty founded by Frédelon, who in theory was under the sovereignty of the king of France, but in practice was totally independent. The counts of Toulouse had to fight to maintain their position at first. They were mostly challenged by the dynasty of the counts of Auvergne, ruling over the northeastern part of the former Aquitaine, who claimed the county of Toulouse as their own, and even temporarily ousted the coun ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - Late Middle Ages: 11th The end of Carolinians marked the beginning of Feudality.
At the beginning of the millennium, the drifting attitude of the clergy and the confiscation of the Church by the Toulouse administration initiated a degradation of the worship. The Saint-Sernin church, the Daurade basilica and the Saint-Etienne cathedral were not maintained properly. New religious currents appeared, like the Clunis reform.
The Izarn bishop, helped by the pope Gregoire VII, tried to put everything back in order. He gave the Daurade Basilica to the clunis ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - Late Middle Ages: 12th The end of the 11th century marked the departure of the Raymond IV count to the crusades. Various succession wars followed, besieging Toulouse several times. In 1119, the Toulouse population proclaimed Alphonse Jourdain count. Alphonse Jourdain, willing to be grateful to his people, reduced the taxes immediately.
With the death of the count, an administration of 8 "capitulaires" was created. Under the direction of the count, they had the responsibility of regulating the exchanges and making sure the laws were applied. ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - Renaissance: 17th With Henri IV accessing to the throne, the Toulouse disorders came to an end. The Parliament recognized the King of France and the edict of Nantes was accepted in 1600. The Capitouls lost the last influences they had. A threat much more serious than La Fronde reached Toulouse in 1629 and 1652, leaving thousands of victims: the plague.
For the first time, the municipality and the local Parliament took measures together to assist the people affected by the epidemic. Most of the clergy left the city. The richest people also fled. Only the doctors were required to stay. Starvation led the remaining Capitouls (see 1 ...

| | | | Avitus: Encyclopedia II - History of Toulouse - Late Middle Ages: 13th to 14th The 13th century went in a political direction opposite to the path drawn by the past centuries. In 1229, the Treaty of Paris introduced the University of Toulouse, intending to teach the theology as well as the aristotelician philosophy. Copied from the Parisian model, the teaching was supposed to dissolve the heretic movement.
Various monastic orders, like the order des frères prêcheurs congregation, were started. They found home in the Jacobins. In parallel, a long period of inquisition began inside the Toulouse walls. The fear of repression obliged the notabilities to exile, or to convert themselves. ...
