	Franks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The conversion to Christianity of the pagan Frankish king Clovis in the late 5th century, was a crucial event in the history of Europe.
		The Frankish realm underwent many partitions and repartitions, since the Franks divided their property among surviving sons, and lacking a broad sense of a res publica, they conceived of the realm as a large extent of private property.
		Because the Frankish kingdom dominated Western Europe for centuries, terms derived from "Frank" were used by many in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and beyond as a synonym for Roman Christians (e.g., al-Faranj in Arabic, farangi in Persian, Feringhi in Hindustani, and Frangos in Greek).
