military conquest
The Carolingian Dynasty included many of the early Frankish kings. The chief of which was Charlemagne and his father Charles Martel.
The reign of Clovis I, founder of the Merovingian dynasty of Frankish kings, ended with his death in 511 AD.
He placed a large territory under a single, central authority.
The Franks are a Germanic tribe that migrated from their homeland east of the Rhine in the 6th century to modern day Gaul. The Franks were Germanic and do not confuse them with French. Many say that Charlemagne was a French emperor but that is not the truth. The ancestor of the French are peasants and not the ruling Franks and the later French kings/nobles have almost no Frankish ancestry, if not none.
