• Notes

  The Franks first appeared as settlers on the lower Rhine in two divisions, the Salians (dwellers by the sea, sal) and the Ripuarians (dwellers by the riverbank, ripa). By the end of the 4th century the Salians were established in the area between the Meuse and the Scheldt as federates of the Roman Empire; the Ripuarians, in the tract between the Rhine and Meuse. They formed no permanent confederations, and, unlike the other Germanic peoples, did not migrate as a nation, but expanded. Encyclopedia of World History – 2001 He was a son or son-in-law of Clodion, who governed the Salic Franks from 428 till 448. Merovech governed the Salic Franks from 448 till 457 and defeated Attila 'the Hun' in 451. Leo van de Paz – 2008
