Rosamond McKitterick wrote a study about literacy during this dynasty, while Janet Nelson has examined the position of women within the imperial household. Its early members, who traced descent to Begga and Ansegisel, exploited popular discontent with Warratto and won the Battle of Tertry. The reform of calligraphy under its rule resulted in a noted "miniscule" script used to record charters at monasteries like Lorsch and St. Gall. Scholars like Scotus Eriugena, Einhard, and Alcuin flourished during its rule, but it began to decline after three of its members partitioned their realms under the Treaty of Verdun. Weakened by Viking raids, it was succeeded by the Ottonians and the Capetians. For 10 points, name this Frankish royal house, which included Charles Martel and Charlemagne.
