What follows here is a collection of edicts and diplomas issued by the Frankish king, grant the parameters of authority to the local monasteries, and offering the protection of the church in these bishopric under the authority of the Frankish crown forever. These edicts would make up the basis for French welfare programs and charitable gives in France for the next thousand years. Some of the edicts noted here are still in effect to this day to the modern monasteries which have maintained their mission since the 7th century.
