History

Main article: History of Bavaria

A precursor to the name Bayern, was the name Bayuwaren given by the Romans to the province. A later mention was made by the Franks ca. 520. Saint Boniface completed the people's conversion to Christianity in the early 8th century. Bavaria resisted the Protestant Reformation, and remains strongly Roman Catholic.
