About this listen

In this episode, we explore the intriguing and somewhat mysterious story of Soissons, a post-Roman kingdom that may have never truly existed—or at least not in the way history has long suggested. Was Soissons a real kingdom, or was it a creation of later legends? We delve into the rise of the Merovingians, the early Frankish dynasty, and examine the evidence (or lack thereof) that supports the idea of a powerful kingdom in Soissons after the fall of Rome. Join us as we separate fact from myth and uncover how the Merovingians rose to power in a fragmented post-Roman world, shaping the future of Europe.
