Wafaranki walikuwa Wagermanik waliovamia Dola la Roma na hatimaye kujitokeza kama kabila lenye nguvu kuliko yote ya aina hiyo.

Nchi ya Ufaransa imepata jina lake kutoka kwao, ambao waliitawala na kutoka huko wakaeneza himaya yao juu ya sehemu kubwa ya Ulaya Magharibi, wakizuia Waislamu wasiweze kutoka Hispania.

Ushirikiano wao na Mapapa, kama kabila la kwanza la Kijerumani kuingia Kanisa Katoliki bila kupitia kwanza Uario, ni kati ya mambo yaliyoathiri zaidi historia ya Ulaya.

Kilele cha ustawi wao kilifikiwa chini ya mfalme Karolo Mkuu aliyetawala sehemu kubwa za Ufaransa, Ujerumani, Italia ya kaskazini pamoja na Ubelgiji na Uholanzi ya leo. Papa Leo III alimpa taji la Kaizari wa Roma tarehe 25 Desemba 800. Ndio mwanzo wa Dola Takatifu la Roma. Baada ya Karolo milki yake iligawiwa pande mbili zilizoendelea tofauti na kuwa asili ya mataifa ya Ufaransa na Ujerumani.
