The Franks (Latin: Franci or gens Francorum) 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.
