A Military Dictionary and Gazetteer · 1881 · p. 6
A country of Western Europe, which was known to the Romans by the name of Gaul (which see). In the decline of their power it was conquered by the Franks, a people of Germany, then inhabiting Franc on i a, where they became known about 240. These invaders gave the name to the kingdom ( Franken-ric , Frank’s Kingdom); but the Gauls, being by far the more numerous, are the real ancestors of the modern French.
