From the middle of the fifth century until 751, the **Merovingian dynasty** ruled the Franks. They initially appear in the Roman army of [**northern**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51335/why-did-southern-states-progress-more-slowly-than-northern-states) Gaul as 'Kings of the Franks.' By 509, they had conquered all of the Franks and northern Gaulish Romans. They captured the majority of Gaul, conquering the Visigoths and Burgundians, and expanded their control into Raetia. The Alemanni, Bavarii, and Saxons recognized their sovereignty in Germania. Following the disintegration of **Theodoric the Great's kingdom,** the **Merovingian realm was the greatest and most powerful of Western European powers.** \

The **mediaeval Latin Merovingi or Merohingii dynasty** name stems from an unattested Frankish form, similar to the recorded Old English Merewowing, with the ending -ing being a common Germanic patronymic suffix. The name is derived from King Merovech, who is the subject of several stories. Unlike the Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies, the **Merovingians** never proclaimed divine origin, and there is little indication that they were revered.
