Foundation of OMD

The Order of the Merovingian Dynasty (OMD) was conceived of and organized in September 2004 by 23 Founder Members whose names denote leadership in the field of genealogy to honor the heritage of the Merovingian Kings, the first of which was Mérovée who governed the Salic Franks from 448-457. The Merovingian period represents the earliest period that reputable genealogists feel we have accurate records for and thus can develop lineages from.

The History and Origins

Beginning as early as 496 there were secret meetings between Clovis and Saint Remy, confessor of the wife of Clovis. Soon thereafter an agreement of cooperation was signed between Clovis and the Roman Church.

“Sicambrian revere what thou hast burned and burn what thou hast revered.”
