Joint declaration issued near Strasbourg
The oath of Strasbourg (Latin: Sacramenta Argentariae, modern French: les series de Strasbourg, modern German: die Stra ß burger Eide), 842 AD Charlemagne Grandchild German Louis (Ludwig der Deutsche, 843-876) and Charles le Chauve (843-877) swore an alliance, and opposed the joint declaration issued near Strasbourg by their elder brother Lothar I (840-855). They are written in Teutonic and Romantic respectively. The "Serment de Strasbourg" is the first document written in Roman. Roman is the original French (ancient Gaul Roman), and Teutonic is the original German (ancient highland German dialect). In order to enable soldiers on both sides to understand the oath, the oath was read without using Latin, which has become unfamiliar to the public, but using spoken Roman and ancient highland German. The two rulers swore in each other's language.
