A:On the European mainland, it was largely Charlemagne who converted the Saxon tribes. Kathleen Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, said, "Charlemagne converted whole tribes by the sword." In the year 782, the Frankish king Charlemagne reputedly beheaded forty-five hundred Saxons who resisted his campaign of forced conversion to Christianity.

In 800, the Pope rewarded Charlemagne in Rome, crowning him as Holy Roman Emperor.

Clovis I, King of the Franks, c.466-511 was the first to convert to Western Christianity; as opposed to the Arian form of Christianity more common among Eastern Germanic people.

Did the Franks conquer Gaul in 480 AD or 480 BC?

The "Franks" never conquered Gaul...they lived there. You see, there were many Germanic tribes living in Gaul, which is ancient France and parts of Germany, Austria, etc. Certain tribes conquered and integrated other tribes, so you could say they conquered it, except that everyone was a Frank. In 480 B.C., It was extremely underdeveloped, so no conquering anything. In 480 A.D., the Western Roman Empire collapsed, which might be what you are asking, about, not sure. But anyways, the answer is "neither", because the Franks were a Culture Group, and the Tribes in Gaul and Germania were subgoups of the same general blend, if you understand what Im saying. Hope this answered your question satisfactorily enough
