THE ALEMANNI
 

The Alemanni, also spelled Alamanni or Alamani, were Germanic people.

In AD 213 and the following years, the Alemanni fought the Romans with some success.

Around the year 260, the Alemanni managed to breach the Roman limes in Germany and pushed the border of the Roman Empire back to the Rhine River and Danube River.

In AD 496, Frankish King Clovis added the Alemanni to his long list of subordinates.

The Spanish and the French word for Germany derives from the Alemanni.
