Chattuarii

The Chattuarii, also spelled Attuarii, were a Germanic tribe who eventually became a part of the Franks.

They lived to the east of the Rhine delta, north of the Lippe, outside the Roman Empire, but close to it, and also near what is now the border between Germany and the Netherlands.

In the 4th century they were described as Franks who were then living near the banks of the Rhine in this same area.

Their name survived as the name of a Frankish gau, (Latin: pagus), called the pagus Hattuariensis or pagus Hetterun.
