Frankish Kingdom

The Frankish Kingdom was a powerful realm in medieval Europe, established by the Franks, a Germanic tribe. It emerged in the 5th century, notably under King Clovis I, who united various tribes and converted to Christianity, gaining support from the Catholic Church. The kingdom expanded under his successors, including Charlemagne, who became the first Holy Roman Emperor. The Franks played a crucial role in shaping European history by blending Roman, Christian, and Germanic cultures. Their legacy includes the spread of Christianity, the foundation of modern France and Germany, and the establishment of feudalism in Europe.
