The '''Chatti''' were an ancient
German tribe that lived along the upper reaches of the
Weser,
Eder,
Fulda and
Werra rivers, a district approximately corresponding to
Hesse-
Cassel, though probably somewhat more extensive. They frequently came into conflict with the
Romans during the early years of the
1st century. Eventually they formed a portion of the
Franks and were incorporated in the kingdom of
Clovis I probably with the
Ripuarians, at the beginning of the
6th century. They are mentioned in the
Old English epic
Beowulf as ''Hetwaras''.
