  1. Columbus was a greek jew from Genoa who wanted to take Jerusalem and become the new King David, he wrote that in his diary. As nutty as that sounds, it is not as nutty as this guys bullocks tale.

  2. While originally a Germanic Tribe, the Franks took on Latin and the Romance language early after the Fall of Rome. At the urging of his wife, Clotilde, King Clovis converted to Catholicism in around 496, and was thus the first Catholic King to rule over Francia. He also established a precedent for future Frankish kings to rule as Catholics. Clovis’s conversion to Christianity guaranteed support and aid from Catholic Rome. It also eased tensions between the Franks and the Catholic population in Gaul, which was more willing to accept a Catholic monarch. Clovis’s religion impacted the future course of Western and Central Europe, as he spread his religious beliefs throughout nearly the entire region. Clovis is regarded as the founder of the Merovingian dynasty
