Question: What was the language from which the last name Sylvester originated during the era of the Frankish king who formed the Holy Roman Empire later known as?

the roman legions first entered the area under decimus junius brutus in 137–136 bc, but the country was only incorporated into the roman empire by the time of augustus (29 bc – 19 bc). the romans were interested in galicia mainly for its mineral resources, most notably gold. under roman rule, most galician hillforts began to be – sometimes forcibly – abandoned, and gallaeci served frequently in the roman army as auxiliary troops. romans brought new technologies, new travel routes, new forms of organizing property, and a new language; latin. the roman empire established its control over galicia through camps (castra) as aquis querquennis, ciadella camp or lucus augusti (lugo), roads (viae) and monuments as the lighthouse known as tower of hercules, in corunna, but the remoteness and lesser interest of the country since the 2nd century of our era, when the gold mines stopped being productive, led to a lesser degree of romanization. in the 3rd century it was made a province, under the name gallaecia, which included also northern portugal, asturias, and a large section of what today is known as castile and león. <SEP> alboin was probably born in the 530s in pannonia, the son of audoin and his wife, rodelinda. she may have been the niece of king theodoric and betrothed to audoin through the mediation of emperor justinian. like his father, alboin was raised a pagan, although audoin had at one point attempted to gain byzantine support against his neighbours by professing himself a christian. alboin took as his first wife the christian chlothsind, daughter of the frankish king chlothar. this marriage, which took place soon after the death of the frankish ruler theudebald in 555, is thought to reflect audoin's decision to distance himself from the byzantines, traditional allies of the lombards, who had been lukewarm when it came to supporting audoin against the gepids. the new frankish alliance was important because of the franks' known hostility to the byzantine empire, providing the lombards with more than one option. however, the "prosopography of the later roman empire" interprets events and sources differently, believing that alboin married chlothsind when already a king in or shortly before 561, the year of chlothar's death. <SEP> He eventually incorporated the territories of present - day France, Germany, northern Italy, and beyond, linking the Frankish kingdom with Papal lands. In 768 Pepin's son Charlemagne became King of the Franks and began an extensive expansion of the realm. On Christmas Day of 800, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne emperor, restoring the title in the West for the first time in over three centuries. <SEP> Sylvester is a name derived from the Latin adjective silvestris meaning ``wooded ''or`` wild'', which derives from the noun silva meaning ``woodland ''. Classical Latin spells this with i. In Classical Latin y represented a separate sound distinct from i, not a native Latin sound but one used in transcriptions of foreign words. After the Classical period y came to be pronounced as i. Spellings with Sylv - in place of Silv - date from after the Classical period. <SEP> Charlemagne's court in Aachen was the centre of the cultural revival sometimes referred to as the "Carolingian Renaissance". Literacy increased, as did development in the arts, architecture and jurisprudence, as well as liturgical and scriptural studies. The English monk Alcuin (d. 804) was invited to Aachen and brought the education available in the monasteries of Northumbria. Charlemagne's chancery—or writing office—made use of a new script today known as Carolingian minuscule,[M] allowing a common writing style that advanced communication across much of Europe. Charlemagne sponsored changes in church liturgy, imposing the Roman form of church service on his domains, as well as the Gregorian chant in liturgical music for the churches. An important activity for scholars during this period was the copying, correcting, and dissemination of basic works on religious and secular topics, with the aim of encouraging learning. By the reign of Charlemagne, the language had so diverged from the classical that it was later called Medieval Latin. New works on religious topics and schoolbooks were also produced. Grammarians of the period modified the Latin language, changing it from the Classical Latin of the Roman Empire into a more flexible form to fit the needs of the church and government.
