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 the Danube River.

Clovis added the
Alemanni to his long list of subjects.
The Spanish and the French word for
Germany (Alemania and Allemagne) derives from the Alemanni.
