Question

According to the Chronicon Altinate, an anonymous daughter of a ruler from this dynasty supposedly became a dogaressa and may have foiled an alliance between Beato and Princess Cassandra. The “goose-footed” Bertrada was the mother of a ruler from this dynasty, who may have contemplated marrying a Byzantine ruler from Athens. Gothic blackletter developed from a miniscule script named for this dynasty. The life of a ruler of this dynasty was documented by Notker the Stammerer. Tension from the signing of a bilingual oath at Strasbourg preceded this dynasty splitting (10[1])into regions (10[1])like Provence and Lotharingia. A palace at Aachen (10[1])was built for this dynasty under Einhard’s supervision. For 10 points, what Frankish dynasty included the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne? ■END■

ANSWER: Carolingian Dynasty [or Carlovingians or Carolingus or Carolings or Karolinger or Karlings; accept Carolingian minuscule script or Caroline minuscule; prompt on Franks or Frankish; reject “Merovingian Dynasty”]
