Question 17

Which early Frankish king brought the separate Frankish groups under a single rule and became a Christian?

  1. ClovisCorrect answer
  2. Charlemagne
  3. Charles Martel
  4. Justinian I

Explanation

The king meant here ruled around the turn of the sixth century, joining groups that had been led separately under one crown and accepting Christian baptism, long before the Frankish realm became an empire.
