Bearing Witness to Savage Sixth & Seventh C Gaul

Novelist Katherine Christensen has a blog "bearing witness to savage sixth and seventh century Gaul..."

And it was savage. The Merovingians were an odd bunch to claim to be descended from Jesus. They killed off brothers and nephews and then bed the widows of the dearly departed. Her "general research" category is a good one, with posts like "The Age of the Merovingians. . .Europe Without Borders:"
Imagine the complete collapse of a civilized society. The riverbanks of law, order, and economic stability have been breached. A powerful people burst over the former banks like a raging river in full flood. . .
One fierce Pagan family line emerges as clear leaders in mayhem of Caucasian tribal dominion. . .the Merovingian Line of Kings and the women that they call wife, consort, mother, daughter, sister. . . .
It was a Europe without borders and laid the foundation for those who would someday be defined as leaders of the modern world.
I suppose she means Germanic as opposed to Celt when she says Caucasian?
