Franks
The Franks were a group of Germanic peoples who lived in western and central Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Their name survives in today's France, the German region Franconia (Franken), the EU's financial hub Frankfurt, and several other places.
UnderstandThe Roman Empire described the Franks since at least the 3rd century AD. Many Franks served in the Roman Army.
