Childeric, also known as Childeric I, was a king of the Merovingian dynasty who ruled over the Franks in the 5th and 6th centuries. He is believed to have been the king of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia, which is now part of modern-day France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. The name "Childeric" is derived from the Frankish words "hild" meaning "battle" and "ric" meaning "ruler", so his name can be translated to "battle ruler".
