Chamavi
The Chamavi were a Germanic people living on the lower Rhine, in the area of the modern Dutch region of Hamaland, in the 1st to 4th centuries CE. Tacitus records that around 98 they and the Angrivarii took over the lands of the Bructeri. They later formed part of the Frankish confederation, and the Emperor Julian fought them in 358.
