@colingorrie Thanks! Fascinating!

In the end, the empire the Franks built was vast — but it couldn't hold together.

Instead, it split into modern France and Germany.

And in conquering so much, they lost their own language — leaving us only traces in the words we use today.

The price of success.

[Colin Gorrie @colingorrie]

Today, the Franks' legacy lives on in the names of places they once ruled:

- France (Land of the Franks)
- Frankfurt (Ford of the Franks)
- Franconia — a region in Germany

Their name endured, but their empire did not last forever…

The British Museum reading room is open to the public. My first time in here for nearly 30 years. It’s as beautiful and spectacular as I remember.
