XD EVEN BETTER BECAUSE HE PROBABLY WASN’T A FRANK. I will skip the long struggles of the Italian peninsula to avoid Frankish domination but they’d have still been RELATIVELY recent to him and the classification of all Europeans as Franks is almost certainly something they’ve been arguing about since it became safe. XP Muslim travel writing on Europe before Joe and Nicky met was pretty confident that that Franks all lived in a single kingdom and obeyed a single king, who may or may not have been the Pope. The recent Norman conquest of Sicily probably cemented the perception that Franks were a unified culture from north to south. This perception was so strong that local variations on “Frank” became a generic term for European everywhere from Egypt to Indonesia, which persists in some usages to this day. -- source link
