Notes
Ascaric (Ascarich, Assacarius) and Merogaisus (called regales (kinglets/chieftains) of the Bructeri) invaded Gaul 306, defeated by Constantine I and killed by animals in arena at Trier.
Merogais (Latin: Merogaisus, French: Ragaise) was an early Frankish king, who, along with his co-ruler Ascaric, is the earliest Frankish ruler known. He was an enemy of the Roman Empire. Merogais is mentioned in the Panegyrici latini (anonymous VI and VII) and by Eutropius and Eumenius. The very existence of Merogais depends on the manuscript reading of Johann Kaspar Zeuss. The sentence which names the two kings begins with Asacari or Assaccari in all manuscripts, but it ends with the corrupt forms cinere gaisique, cumero geasique, cymero craisique, and cymero caisique. Zeuss reads those sentences as ending respectively cum Neregaisique, cum Merogeasique, cum Merocraisique, and cum Merocaisique, each meaning as "and with Merogais".
If he existed may have been the grandfather of Merovig ap Meurig Nannianus of Bretannia and grandson of Marcomir de Toxandrie.
