Frank you uneducated fuck
>>57782028
We was a Frank, which if you add to approximate, means he is a Germanic person rather than a Romance person.

He was Germanic, so you could argue he was German or Dutch, but not really French

They didn't "come later." Gradually every subject(in this case Gallo-Roman slaves) of the Frankish kingdom were called Franks/French.
"Roman" was specifically an Italic ethnicity but 1,000 years later it was used of all citizens/subjects of the Roman Empire: arabs, iberians and gauls.

German-celt-mediterranean that's all.

Carlos el Groso was argentinian.

He was German. If Charlemagne was French he would have surrendered to the Moors.
You fucking memers. There were no French or German identities back then. Being born in X country doesn't make you a person of X ethnicity
