Why Frankfurt.

King Carl the Great (Charlemagne)
was once defeated by the Saxons, and
fed with his Franks to the Main. But
they could find no fording place by
which TO escape the pursuit of their
enemies. Suddenly a cart appeared
and made for a spot where 1t crossed
easily, thus showing the Franks
where the river was fordable. SO
they came across the Main, and the
place has ever since been called
'Frankfurt" (the ford OF the Franks).
