    Yes, that's it: The Franks were a Germanic tribe. In 481 they founded the Merovingian kingdom. Their territory reached from the Atlantic coast in the west to Saxony and Bavaria in the east, so it encompassed the later kingdom of France as well as the German region Franconia.

    kannst mir auf Deutsch PMn wenn du Hilfe brauchst. you can PM me in German if you need help (I'm translating this so the mods can see what we are talking about and don#t have to close the thread).

    Thanks, Sleepy! At the moment, unfortunately, my lessons aren't happening because meine Lehrerin got a job at the Goethe Institute and, otherwise, her high paying corporate clients seem to take precedence. Honestly. And she calls herself a Marxist. (she really does). So at the moment, I'm not doing any German to need help with. But I might go back to working at it under my own steam, in which case, I'll certainly take you up on your kind Offerte.

    I may have a go at the German quiz, but I probably won't do well at it.

    That's if I can find it. Where is it?

    yep... BUT I'm still thinking about what to do because actually, both participants didn't read the rules carefully and sent in their answers too early. but to be fair, I should give them their price and make the rules easier next time.
    anyway, there were two quizzes, a hard one and an easy one. I think both participants took the hard one. so I will repost the easy one for the next round and you can take part
