Pharamond (c. 370 - c. 430 ) is considered to be the first King of the Salian Franks , though he is possibly a legendary rather than historical figure. He was possibly a son or son-in-law of Marcomer . Only the later century historicians Prosper Tiro and Dom Bouquet give a report about his reign. In 420 , he reportedly led his people in crossing the Rhine River and heading west. This movement would effectively separate his tribe from the majority of the Ripuarian Franks that had settled near Cologne . Pharamond was eventually succeeded by his son Clodio . His wife was Argotta . |
