The royal family of the early kings of Frank was the subject of considerable and controversial discussion. This discussion aims to identify the main categories of participants in the administration and those who make great historical impact. Every Frankish king from Clovis I to Charles the Bald has a cadre of advisors and a great bureaucrat who helps carry out their regime. The supporters of this crown are often unknown, but often the ancestors of the French rulers in the future. This is not meant to be a complete list of those who support the king but to serve as a guide for further study. A general discussion of the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties can be found in the relevant main article. See also the Carolingian Empire Government.
The Mayor of the Palace. Under the Merovingian kings, the palace mayor ( maiores palatii or "the great man of the palace") was the household manager of the Frank king family. The office dates back to the sixth century, and during the seventh it evolved into a power behind the throne. Some of the more important mayors are:
See the main article of the Palace Mayor.
Counselor to the King . After the rise of the palace mayor to the head of government, the future kings understandfully not put so much power in their subordinates, but still rely on senior counselors (or counselors), mostly from scholars. Major players include:
- Saint Fulrad, counselor for Pepin the Short and Charlemagne
- Ebbo, Archbishop of Reims, advisor to Louis the Pious
- Adalard of Corbie, the grandson of Charles Martel, plays a key role in the reign of Louis the Pious
- Hincmar, Archbishop of Reims, chief adviser, friend, and head propagandist for Charles the Bald.
Lord Chancellor . The state officer is responsible for the judiciary and is responsible for seeing that the royal decree is registered and registered by separate places, the provincial appeals court. Some significant key chancellors include:

- Saint Ansbert, Bishop Rouen
- Saint Audoin, Bishop Rouen
- Saint Bonitus, Bishop of Auvergne

- Calculate Engelram
- Boso of Provennce
Calculate the Palatine (in Latin, coming palatina ). The Merovingian kings employ high-ranking officials, Count Palatine, who initially assisted the king in his judicial duties and, in later days, waived many of their own. Some important palatine counts are:
- Chrodobertus II
- Robert I, Count of Hesbaye
- Wigeric of Lotharingia.
See the main article Calculate Palatine and Selector from Palatinate.

Domesticus. Once again mentioned in the Clovis III charter, the person known under this title includes:
- Ansegisel, serving Sigebert III of Austrasia as duke and domesticus
- Dodo, the father of Mrs. Pepin from Herstal, was killed by the Lambert family from Maastricht.

Grand Reefer. Perhaps, the officer is responsible for some reefs. The famous Grand Reverend is:
Master of Ostiariorum (Master of Porters) . Leads the palace staff and controls access to the king. The only known holders of this position are:
- Boso of Provence (Louis the Stammerer).
Chamberlain. In the late Middle Ages, the treasurer's position (see Grand Chamberlain of France) was attributed to the maintenance of the king's chamber and wardrobe. It is not clear that the initial role in this position is limited to this, because they are filled with a strong amount. However, the following are known to the treasurer of this period:
- The rival (Rainier) (Louis the Pious), executed for conspiring with Bernard of Italy against his crown
- Vivian (Charles the Bald)
- Engelram (Charles the Bald), overthrown by Richilde for the good of his brother Boso
- Boso of Provence (Charles the Bald, Louis the Stutterer).
Domininici's Mother . The last category of court members is the Domininici Mission (palace inspector), who travels to distant regions of the kingdom to disseminate the royal doctrine. See the Capitulary of Servais for a list of bishops, abbots and numbers supporting Charles the Bald in his attempt to manage remote areas, as well as the Capitularies of Charlemagne, and Capitularies of Charles the Bald.
