The Merovingians were a dynasty of Frankish kings who ruled from the 5th to the 8th centuries, known for establishing one of the first major kingdoms in what is now France and parts of Germany. Their reign is marked by the emergence of the Frankish state and the spread of Christianity. The dynasty is often associated with King Clovis I, who united the Frankish tribes and converted to Christianity, solidifying the relationship between the church and the monarchy. The Merovingian period is characterized by a decline in centralized power, eventually leading to the rise of the Carolingians.

No, the Normans were better known for the native Merovingian culture.
The leading palace official who held true power during the Merovingian dynasty was the mayor of the palace. This position evolved to become more influential than the Merovingian kings themselves, especially during the 7th century. Notable mayors such as Pepin of Herstal and his grandson Charles Martel effectively controlled the Frankish kingdom, leading to the eventual rise of the Carolingian dynasty.
The first king of the Merovingian dynasty, Clovis, made Paris the Frankish capital in 508.

The ineffective Merovingian rulers who lost the throne in the eighth century are often referred to as "do-nothing kings" or "roi fainéants." These monarchs were characterized by their lack of real power and governance, as the actual authority shifted to the mayors of the palace. The rise of the Carolingians eventually led to the decline of Merovingian rule, culminating in the deposition of the last Merovingian king, Childeric III, by Pepin the Short in 751.
