The father of Pharamund was Frotmund, from the dynasty of the Fisher Kings, going back to King Aminadah and his wife Eurgen.  Pharamond was the grandson of Boaz and Pharamund’s wife Argotta was herself descended from King Lucius’ sister Athildis, who married Marcomer (8th in descent from Francio) in about 130. 

Argotta’s father, Genebaud was the last male of his line and so their son Chlodion became the next guardian of the Franks in Gaul. 

Gregory of Tours states that the Frankish chiefs’ dynasty were ‘from the foremost and most noble line of their race’. The descendants of Pharamund and Argotta emerged in the ancient Nazareth tradition to become the ‘long haired sorcerer Kings’.

Their successors were accorded special veneration and were widely known for their esoteric knowledge and occult skills.

Pharamond became King of the west Franks in 419 AD.

In 427 AD. The succession passed on to his son Clodion.
