After short considerations the Duchy of Bordeaux and the City of Marseille agreed to join this new Kingdom of France.
For Charles Martel this was not enough, he turned his eyes to east were an old roman outpost of Bona Mansio bravely stood against the invading barbarian hordes. However, the defenders of Bona Mansio had grown stubborn and proud. They denied an alliance with the franks. Martel's spies informed him that the Count of Bona Mansio also secrectly negotiated with another rising power futher to east, the Germans. The Germans were known of their ferocity and aggression so an unified Germany was in interests of the First Frankish Kingdom.
