Franks

The Franks were a group of Germanic tribes that emerged in the late Roman Empire period. They played a significant role in European history, particularly during the early Middle Ages. The Franks united under a single ruler, known as Clovis I, who expanded their territory and converted to Christianity. This conversion helped to strengthen the relationship between the Frankish kings and the Catholic Church. Over time, the Frankish kingdom evolved into a powerful empire, eventually laying the foundations for modern France and parts of Germany. Their legacy influences European culture and politics to this day.
