About Belgium
Belgium Europa - photo wallpapers: The Kingdom of Belgium (Dutch: Koninkrijk België, French: Royaume de Belgique, German: Königreich Belgien) is a country in Western Europe, bordered by the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, France, and the North Sea. Belgium is at a cultural crossroad between Germanic Europe, with Dutch speakers in the North, the Flemings, and German speakers in the East, and Romance Europe, with French speakers in the South, the Walloons.

They were (mostly) Celtic tribes, living in northern Gaul and overcome by Julius Caesar in 54 BC, as described in his chronicle De Bello Gallico. In this same work Julius Caesar referred to the Belgae as "...the bravest of all Gauls" (horum omnium fortissimi sunt belgae).

Clovis I was the most famous of these kings: he converted to Christianity and ruled from northern France, but his empire included today's Belgium. Christian scholars, mostly Irish monks, preached Christianity and started conversion work under the pagan invaders. The Merovingians were rather short-lived, as the Carolingian Dynasty took over:...
