Alamannia or Alemannia was the territory inhabited by the Germanic Alemanni after they broke through the Roman ''limes'' in 213. The Alemanni expanded from the Main basin during the 3rd century, raiding the Roman provinces and settling on the left bank of the Rhine from the 4th century. Ruled by independent tribal kings during the 4th to 5th centuries, Alamannia lost its independence and became a duchy of the Frankish Empire in the 6th century, and with the beginning formation of the Holy Roman Empire under Conrad I in 911 became the Duchy of Swabia. The term ''Swabia'' was often used interchangeably with ''Alamannia'' in the 10th to 13th centuries. The territory of Alamannia as it existed from the 7th to 9th centuries was centered on Lake Constance and included the High Rhine, the Black Forest and the Alsace on either side of the Upper Rhine, the upper Danube basin as far as the confluence with the Lech, with an unclear boundary towards Burgundy to the south-west in the Aare basin (the Aargau). Raetia Curiensis, although not part of Alemannia, was ruled by Alemannic counts, and became part of the Duchy of Swabia as it was established by Burchard I. The territory corresponds to what was still the areal of Alemannic German in the modern period, i.e. French Alsace, German Baden and Swabia, German-speaking Switzerland and Austrian Vorarlberg.〔in what is now Switzerland, the Alemannic areal has expanded during the high medieval period, with the Valser migration into the Alps, with the Zähringer and later the influence of Bern towards Upper Burgundy, and into Grisons as lower Raetia came under the rule of the Werdenberg counts.〕 ==Geography== The Alamanni were pushed south from their original area of settlement in the Main basin and in the 5th and 6th century settled new territory on either side of the Rhine. Alemannia under Frankish rule later the Duchy of Swabia within the Holy Roman Empire covered a territory that was more or less undisputed during the 7th to 13th centuries, organised into counties or ''pagi''. In Swabia: ''Hegowe'' (Hegau), between Lake Constance, the upper Danube and the Swabian Jura. ''Perahtoltaspara'' (Berchtoldsbaar) in the upper Neckar basin, left of the upper Danube as far as Ulm, including the source of the Danube. ''Nekargowe'' (named for the Neckar, capital Canstatt). ''Swiggerstal'' (the modern Ermstal), ''Filiwigawe'' (Filsgau, named for the Fils), ''Trachgowe'' (Drachgau, near Schwäbisch Gmünd) and ''Alba'' (Albuch) between the Neckar and the Danube. ''Duria'' (Duriagau) between Ulm and Augsburg. ''Albegowe'' (Allgäu), ''Keltinstein'' (between Geltnach and Wertach) and ''Augestigowe'' (capital Augsburg) along the Lech forming the border to Bavaria. ''Rezia'' (Ries, ultimately from the name of the Roman province of ''Raetia'') in the Northeastern corner, left of the Danube (capital Nördlingen). ''Linzgowe'' (Linzgau) and ''Argungowe'' (named for Argen River) north of Lake Constance. ''Eritgau'', ''Folcholtespara'' (Folcholtsbaar), ''Rammegowe'' (Rammachgau) and ''Illargowe'' (named for the Iller, capital Memmingen) on the right side of the Danube. In Baden: ''Brisigowe'' (Breisgau) along the Upper Rhine opposite Sundgau, and ''Mortunova'', the later Ortenau, along the Upper Rhine opposite Nordgau. ''Alpegowe'' (Albgau), centered on St. Blaise Abbey, Black Forest In modern France (the Alsace): ''Suntgowe'' (Sundgau) and ''Nordgowe'' (Nordgau) In modern Switzerland: ''Augestigowe'' (the territory surrounding Augst) and ''Turgowe'' (modern Thurgau, named for the Thur; Zürichgau was detached from Thurgau in the 8th century) The territory between Alamannia and Upper Burgundy was known as ''Argowe'' (modern Aargau, named for the Aare). The pertinence of this territory to either Alamannia or Upper Burgundy was disputed. The county of Raetia Curiensis was absorbed into Alamannia in the early 10th century. It comprised the ''Ringowe'' (Rheingau, named for the Rhine) and ''Retia'' proper. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alamannia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
