“With the Roman Empire effectively gone (...) Gaul disintegrated into a mass of small barbarian states under so-called kings, dukes, and counts. As we know however, nature abhors a vacuum, sooner or later one state becomes stronger than the rest and ultimately achieves domination. This time, it was the Salian Franks.”
