[edit] Battles of the Frankish Civil War of 715-718

These battles are found at Template:Campaignbox Frankish Civil War (715-718). I don't know the best way to incorporate them here. Srnec 03:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some events have nothing to do with France

Gallic is a different word for Celtic. Celts ruled in France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, Switserland, Austria, Turkey, Italy, Czech Republic and other contemporary countries. The Gallic wariors fighting the Romans in contemporary Italy probaly came from Italy. The heartland of the celtic culture was Austria and southern Germany. Gallic tribes were not united, so there is no connection whatsoever with France. It is like puting all American battles under Great Britain, because the Americans speak english.

Battles that doesn't belong in this article to my opinion are:

• Battle of Allia
• Battle of Sentinum
• Battle of Arretium
• Battle of Lake Vadimo (283 BC)
• Battle of Faesulae
• Battle of Telamon
• Battle of Cremona (200 BC)
• Battle of Mutina (194 BC)--Daanschr 08:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree, the whole Gallic section should be removed from this article. This article should start with the Franks. Jon 15:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
