Title: Franks and Alamanni in the Merovingian Period
Description: The Franks were the most successful of all the barbarian peoples to establish a kingdom in the aftermath of the collapse of the West Roman Empire. Among their victims were their immediate neighbours, the Alamanni, who were swalowed up in the course of Frankish expansion. Partly because of the collapse of the Alaman kingdom, the Alamanni have received little attention from Anglophone scholars in the past, and this volume is therefore a welcome consideration of Franks and Alamanni from a series of perspectives, historical, archaeological, and linguistic.
