This volume highlights the heretofore largely neglected Battle of Vouillè in 507 CE, when the Frankish King Clovis defeated Alaric II, the King of the Visigoths. Clovis` victory proved a crucial step in the expulsion of the Visigoths from Francia into Spain, thereby leaving Gaul largely to the Franks. It was arguably in the wake of Vouillè that Gaul became Francia, and that "France began." The editors have united an international team of experts on Late Antiquity and the Merovingian Kingdoms to reexamine the battle from multiple as well as interdisciplinary perspectives. The contributions address questions of military strategy, geographical location, archaeological footprint, political background, religious propaganda, consequences (both in Francia and in Italy), and significance. There is a strong focus on the close reading of primary source-material, both textual and material, secular and theological.

Zusammenfassung
In der Regel ist die Trennung eines Paares auch mit der Aufteilung gemeinsamer Anschaffungen verbunden. Dabei spielen die gemeinsamen Haustiere, zu denen meist beide Partner im Laufe der Zeit eine emotionale Bindung entwickelt haben, eine besondere Rolle. Der folgende Beitrag nimmt eine aktuelle Entscheidung des AG Marburg v. 3.11.2023 - 74 F 809/23 WH, MDR 2024, 507 zum Anlass, die rechtlichen Hintergründe und verschiedenen Aspekte, die für die Entscheidung über die vorläufige gerichtliche Zuweisung eines Haustieres, in casu eines Hundes, ausschlaggebend sind, näher zu beleuchten und auf die Möglichkeit der vorsorglichen Regelung des Umgangs mit dem Tier in einer bereits im Vorfeld der Eheschließung getroffenen Vereinbarung einzugehen.

H.R. 400 and S. 507 are similar but different omnibus patent reform proposals. Both bills generally transform the Patent and Trademark Office into a government corporation; require publication of patent applications 18 months after filing, subject to certain exceptions that differ in these bills; and extend the patent term for certain delays in patent issuance. S. 507 also contains provisions on patent reexamination reform. This report summarizes and compares the bills and reviews arguments for and against the proposals.
