Clovis I, the first king of Kingdom of The Franks (Francia/Frankia/Frankish Empire/Frankland). It was a historical kingdom that existed not long after the fall of Roman Empire. This kingdom was created by a germanic tribe named Frank.
Regarded as the common predecessor of the modern states of France and Germany, this tribe conquered an area named Gaul (today France) and also some area of what is now Germany (mainly in the west). Frankish Kingdom was later divided into 3 different kingdoms, with the big and significant ones being West Francia (later France) and East Francia (later Holy Roman Empire).
Once lived in the same house, France and Holy Roman Empire were raised as brothers, even though they were not related or might hate each other.
