End of slavery in France
Unknown authorUnknown author / Public domain · resizedfile

The origins of slavery in France can be traced back to the Merovingian dynasty in the 4th century. At least five Frankish queens during that period were former slaves: Ingund, Fredegund, Bilichild, Nanthild, and Balthild. Slavery continued under the Carolingian Empire and was successively abolished by the French Republic amid the French Revolution.
