And that this was the Wisdom of our Predecessors in constituting the _Francogallican Kingdom_, we may learn, First, from the last Will and Testament of the Emperor _Charlemagn_, publish'd by _Joannes Nauclerus_ and _Henricus Mutius_; in which there is this Clause--"And if any Son shall hereafter be born to any of these, my three Sons, whom the People shall be _willing to Elect_ to succeed his Father in the Kingdom; My Will is, that his Uncles do consent and suffer the Son of their Brother to reign over that portion of the Kingdom which was formerly his Father's." Secondly, What _Aimoinus, lib._ I. _cap._ 4. says, of _Pharamond_, commonly counted the first King of the _Franks_, in these Words.--"The _Franks electing_ for themselves a King, according to the custom of other Nations, raised up _Pharamond_ to the Regal Throne." And again, _lib._ 4.--"But the Franks took a certain _Clerk_ or _Priest_ called _Daniel_; and as soon as his Hair was grown, _establish'd_ him in the Kingdom, calling him _Chilperic_." And _lib._ 4. _cap._ 67.--"King _Pipin_ being dead, his two Sons, _Charles_ and _Carlomannus_, were _elected Kings by the consent of all the_ Franks." And in another place--"As soon as _Pipin_ was dead, the _Franks_ having appointed a solemn _Convention, constituted_ both his Sons Kings over them, upon this foregoing condition, that they should divide the whole Kingdom equally between them."--And again, after the Death of one of the Brothers--"But _Charles_, after his Brother's Decease, was _constituted_ King by the _consent_ of all the _Franks_." Also, towards the end of his History of _Charles the Great_, he says, "The Nobility of the _Franks_ being solemnly assembled from all parts of the Kingdom; he, in their presence, called forth to him _Lewis_ King of _Aquitain_, (the only one of _Heldegardis's_ Sons then living) and _by the advice and consent of them all_, constituted him his Associate in the whole Kingdom, and Heir of the Imperial Dignity." Thus much out of _Aimoinus_.
