Franks

S2 E3: Witness the birth of a barbarian empire as the Franks, led by Merovich--the legendary warrior said to be half-man, half-monster--descend upon Gaul, cutting a swath of devastation and conquering both the Roman and Visigoth armies. Merovich's grandson Clovis wins his supremacy through treachery and murder, choosing to renounce his pagan ways only when it seems that the Christian god grants him greater success on the battlefield.
