		Twenty thousand Vandals, including Godigisel himself, died in the resulting battle, but then with the help of the Alans they managed to defeat the Franks, and on December 31, 406 the Vandals crossed the frozen Rhine to invade Gaul.

		They were sometimes referred to as the "long-haired kings" by contemporaries, for their symbolically unshorn hair (traditionally the tribal leader of the Franks wore their hair long, while the warriors were trimmed short).
		This happened against the backdrop of the collapse of the centralized Roman system of administration and taxation and the disappearance of the old civil service structure, as the Franks took over administration from the Romans, gradually penetrating into thoroughly Romanized parts of the west and south of Gaul.
		This fact became manifest in 732 when an invading Moors Moorish army from Spain was defeated by an army led not by the King Theuderic IV of the Franks Theoderic IV, but rather by the Mayor Charles Martel.

		The Frankish Empire was the territory of the Franks, from the 5th to the 10th centuries, from 481 ruled by Clovis I of the Merovingian Dynasty, the first king of all the Franks.
		Since the term "Empire" properly applies only to times after the coronation of Charlemagne in 800, and since the unified kingdom was repeatedly split and re-united, most historians prefer to use the term Frankish Kingdoms or Frankish Realm to refer to the entirety of Frankish rule from the 5th to the 9th century.
		The term "Carolingian Empire" may be used to refer to the realm of the Franks under the dynasty of the Carolingians, but the term "Empire" applies particularly to the times after thee coronation of Charlemagne as Emperor in 800 by Pope Leo III.

	Saxon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saxons invaded Britain in the early Middle Ages, giving their names to the kingdoms of Essex, Sussex and Wessex (the lands respectively of the East, South and West Saxons), which with the shorter-lived Middlesex eventually became part of the kingdom of England.
		As in Germany, Saxons here would be the southern people of the North, and north of the Franks in France as the German Saxons are north of the Franks in Franconia, likewise.
		For all the differences these peoples have, it is rather a refreshing understanding to know that the Saxons have been chief harbingers of European civilisation to the north, by filtering and translating the Frankish culture in a way more transmutable to far removed peoples from the cradle of Roman legacy.

	Duke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Germanic Franks converted, under Roman influence, the Germanic concept of Herzog (literally: "war-leader", commonly translated as "duke"), the temporarily elected general for a major expedition of warfare, into military governors for units of up to a dozen counties.
		In the 7th century these units developed into hereditary Clan-duchies of Bavarians, Thuringians, Alemanni, Franks and other Germanic tribes, which Charlemagne crushed in 788, converting the border provinces into margraviates (which however soon emerged as clan-margraviates: Saxony, Bavaria, Swabia, Lorraine...).
		The dissolution tendency was counteracted by the appointment of younger sons of the monarchs (royal dukes) as military governors of the important border provinces, which however also soon developed into hereditary duchies and a source of intrigues against the monarch (see for instance: History of Schleswig-Holstein).
