The people of the Frankish Empire were primarily known as the Franks. This Germanic tribe played a significant role in the formation of medieval Europe, particularly under leaders like Clovis and Charlemagne. The Franks were known for their military prowess and eventually became a dominant force in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages. Their legacy influenced the development of modern France and Germany.

The Frankish Empire effectively ended in 843 AD with the signing of the Treaty of Verdun, which divided the empire among the three grandsons of Charlemagne. This division marked the fragmentation of the empire into distinct regions that would eventually evolve into modern states like France and Germany. Although the Carolingian dynasty continued for some time, it lost central authority and cohesion, signaling the decline of the unified Frankish Empire.
