			As the early [[Crusader]]s included large numbers of [[France\|French]] nationals, the [[Muslim]] inhabitants of [[Palestine]] used the term "Franks" for all Christians. It was an omnibus term, not really concerning itself with their actual nationality, just as the Crusaders referred to the native population against whom they were warring as [[Saracen]]s, careless of their exact origin or their hereditary rights in the land.

The '''Franks''' were a tribal group in the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and post-Roman periods.

They were originally from modern-day [[Germany]] and migrated westward, becoming ''foederati'' within the Roman Empire, and being allowed to settle in an area (sometimes referred to as '''Francia''') across western Germany and [[France]] (to the latter of which they were to bequeath their name).

Their realm suffered multiple partition and repartition, as their tradition called for the division of a man's property among his surviving sons. This complicates the description of their history; something compunded by the fact that they were in the course of acquiring [[literacy]].

Their initial recorded dynasty were the '''Merovingian'''s (''of "Holy Blood" fame''), who claimed descent from the [[classical]] Sicambri people through a chieftain called ''Franco''.<br>
They ruled from the [[5th century]] until the [[7th century|7th]], but their chief ministers, the Mayors of the Palace, obtained an hereditary position and then deposed their king, replacing him by themselves, the '''[[Carolingian]]s'''.

The first Carolingian (the name is taken from [[Charlemagne]]) was '''Pippin the Short''', who was elected [[king]] in 751CE. On his death in 768, the kingdom was divided between his sons Charles and Carloman but Carloman preferred the monastic life (''something the Almighty clearly approved -- within 3 years Carloman had been gathered to the Life Eternal'') and Charles reunified the realm.<br>
