This document discusses the lineage and history of the tribe of Reuben from biblical passages and historical accounts. It traces the tribe of Reuben from the biblical patriarch Reuben to the kingdom of the Franks in Europe led by King Clovis in the 5th century. Later, the Frankish kingdom divided into the territories of France and Germany, tracing to the western and eastern Franks respectively. The document examines coats of arms, divisions of land, and biblical passages to build the case that the modern nation of France descended from the tribe of Reuben.
