Best Answer

There were two groups of Franks: the Ripuarian Franks who lived around the area of present day Frankfurt and the Salian Franks, who lived at the mouth of the river Rhine. The former carried out many raids into northern Gaul, devastating its economy. However, like all the peoples who lived on or near the frontier of the Roman Empire, they also traded with he Romans and become romanised to some extent. The latter were allowed to settle in Toxandria, an area of the Roman Empire south of the river Rhine and in northern Belgium, became Roman allies and fought alongside them and provided mercenaries to the Romans. Therefore, they became thoroughly romanised.
