No that's true, he did have a relation with Franks, he had to ...
Franks were roaming the Gaul freely.
Problem is that they had an Agenda.
1. Conquer the Gaul as their own
2. Make Celts and Romans 2nd or 3rd grade citizens
Then after that:
1. March on Italy
etc...
They behaved like Vikings (to whom they are related). Typical barbarian
uncivilized behavior.
They didn't want to become a part of Empire like Celts.. NO.
They knew they have nothing in common with Greco-Roman world.
They knew they are something else.
They conquered Gaul fair and square I have nothing against that, but
they shouldn't claim something they are not like: "We are Latins" etc.. "We are Romans" etc..
Just like Clovis I conquered Gaul, The same Goes to Lombards (Germans) and Liutprand who conquered Italy and Rome = Barbarians.
