Francia was the largest post-Roman kingdom in Western Europe, founded by King Clovis I in the late 5th century when he united Frankish tribes and expanded into Roman Gaul. It matters because it became the longest-lasting Germanic kingdom of its era, eventually evolving into the Carolingian Empire in 800 and shaping the political landscape of medieval Europe.

Les royaumes francs sont les différents royaumes barbares qui se succèdent ou cohabitent en Europe occidentale durant le haut Moyen Âge après le déclin de l'Empire romain d'Occident et la conquête de ces territoires par les Francs au cours du Ve siècle. Ces royaumes, formant ensemble une entité appelée le royaume des Francs (en latin : Regnum Francorum), perdurent pendant tout le haut Moyen Âge, du Ve au IXe siècle. À partir de 911, sous Charles III le Simple, le plus occidental des royaumes francs, issu du partage de Verdun en 843 et que certains historiens qualifient de Francie occidentale, revendique seul de façon continue l'héritage du royaume des Francs de Clovis et Charlemagne par la titulature permanente de ses rois se proclamant tous rois des Francs. Ce royaume des Francs où, dès le VIIe siècle, le terme « Franc » a perdu toute connotation ethnique du fait des mariages mixtes entre Gallo-romains et Francs et de l'enrôlement dans l'armée de non-Germains, conserve ainsi seul le nom de Francia ou France (dans des actes officiels, sous les règnes de Charles II le Chauve et Louis II le Bègue puis sous le règne de Louis IV).
