One of the realms of Frankish Kingdom (Merovingian). The Franks were a group of Germanic peoples living along the lower Rhine who served as Roman allies. Clovis I of the Merovingian family united them, defeated the last Roman ruler in Gaul in 486 and the Visigoths in 507, and converted to Catholic Christianity, winning the support of the Gallo-Roman bishops and nobility.
