The connation between French and Franks is well established yet it is common to hear bullshit like : "the Franks were a Germanic tribe" or "Clovis and Charlemagne were Germans", or the "Lex Salica(French Law) is a Germanic code", and so on
In the same way the connection between Veneti/Wends/Vandals and Polish is well-established as well (infact in Old French Vandals are called Wends) yet we hear often Germanic claiming Vandals as their.
Still in the same way it is common to hear that "Germans went to war against the Romans during the Cimbrian War" while in fact these are Danes.
My question is why are Germans such LARPers, i mean they are a made up of several ethnicities like Franconians, Saxons, Thuringians, Bavarians, Alemanians, Frisians and can claim the accomplishment of several people, THUS, why do they need to steal the accomplishmments of other people ?
¨PS : Same goes for the Lombards in Italy, and the Swabians in Galicia, or the Goths in Spain.

>France didn't exist at that time, retard. Here is a free course of latin for you retard
France is the primarly attested during the third century when it was named in the Panegyrici Latini

By the way why are you talking about France ?

>i mean they are a made up of several ethnicities like Franconians I wonder who the Franconians could be the descendants of... Hmmmm... Perhaps the Franks?

Modern French people are just Mediterraneans(specifically Italians) in denial
Thomas Price
Franconians are called Francones in Latin, while Clovis (in latin) is a Francus and he was Rex Francorum same goes for Charlemagne
If Charlemagne or Clovis were related to them they would have been called Franconus and Rex Franconorum
>Modern French people are just Mediterraneans
And so were Franks, Nigel
John Murphy
Reminder that Charlemagne was an ethnic Celto-Brython
John Sanchez
>since the children and grandchildren of Charlemagne are depicted with brown hair and eyes, they must be French. Charlemagne himself had fair hair and light eyes, so I guess that confirms he was Germanic :^)
Logan Green
>Charlemagne himself had fair hair and light eyes
Nope
Charlemagne has canities hair which mean grey from old age, and there is no preicsion of his eye color as far as i know
