Question
In the 6th century who named France ?
Solution
The Franks, a Germanic tribe, gave their name to Gaul, making it 'France'. From the sixth century, this region was a kingdom ruled by Frankish/French Kings, who were Christian.
The French had very strong links with the Church, which were further strengthened when in 800 the Pope gave King Charlemagne the title of‘Holy Roman Emperor’, to ensure his support.
