Charlemagne founded the Merovingian Dynasty

The answer is False.

Explanation

It was founded by Clovis I (reigned 481–511), who converted to Nicene Christianity, united the Frankish tribes, and conquered most of Gaul, defeating the Visigoths and Burgundians. Charlemagne belonged to the Carolingian dynasty, which replaced the Merovingians in 751.
