About Franks
The Franks were a northern European group of peoples who first appeared under this name in the third century AD, when the Franks were a category of Germanic tribes living near the lower stretches of the Rhine River military border of the Roman Empire. The Franks however gradually became a larger, multilingual, Catholic Christian group of peoples, who inhabited several post-Roman kingdoms both inside and outside the former empire. Much of what is now the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and in a broader sense much of the population of medieval western Europe, could eventually be described as Franks in some contexts.
