Blood court at Cannstatt

746 · 8th century

The blood court at Cannstatt was the killing of Alemannic nobles in 746 by the Frankish mayor of the palace Carloman. Having summoned the Alemannic leaders to an assembly at Cannstatt, now part of Stuttgart, he had many of them executed for supporting revolts against Frankish rule. It ended the Alemannic ducal office, after which Alamannia was governed by Frankish counts.
