So now I wonder if today, within German society, there are still traces of
Franks, Swabians or Bavarians being viewed as somewhat latin. This would
greatly surprise me.
On the other hand, it could partly explain the pretty smooth relations

and southern Dutch (Franks), opposed to the sober, calvinistic Northern
Dutch (Frisians)(and Saxons)
