That's...ah...quite the string there.
It's my understanding that the Merovingians were pretty much too early for even Old French; ergo, they spoke late antique [ie, bastard] latin or the local celtic lingo.

There's probably some other Hidden Meaning or Deep Significance to the Merovingian's name. I seen how deep the rabbit hole goes, and just ain't ready to make the plunge right now.
If you start getting into the whole thing about how the Merovingians may have actually been the descendants of Christ! and Mary Magdalene! and the secret was in Rennes-le-Chateau! -- well, yeah, rabbit hole barely begins to cover it, believe me.
I just dabble in that shit, and I've already been overwhelmed.
Karin, I felt the same way just glancing at the Hindu mythology stuff yesterday doing that entry on Sati.
There is just so much packed in there. . .
