Third-century Frankish leader

Genobaud (or Gennoboudes) was a king of the Franks in the third century AD. During the Tetrarchy, in the winter of 287/88, he surrendered to western emperor Maximian as a client king, possibly after a military defeat at Maximian's hands. This makes him first known Frankish king.

The following treaty (foedus) provided for the settlement of Franks within Roman territory, probably between the rivers Meuse and Moselle on the Roman side of the frontier. This was the first instance in Gaul where the Romans sought to repopulate devastated areas through resettlement of defeated barbarian tribes.

While kinship with a later Genobaud, a Frankish leader about one century later, is not provable, it is considered plausible by scholars.

The Latin Panegyric number 10 which is the only contemporary source that clearly names him, does not call him a king, or a Frank, but it is generally assumed he is the king mentioned in panegyric 11, which refers to a king of Franks.
