Final answer:

The correct answer is D) Vortigern - Invited Angles and Saxons to England - Clovis. Vortigern is known for inviting Germanic tribes to England, while Clovis established the Frankish Kingdom, and Theodoric was a king of the Ostrogoths.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence that correctly matches the Germanic kingdom names with their descriptions is D) Vortigern - Invited Angles and Saxons to England - Clovis. Vortigern was historically associated with inviting the Angles and Saxons to England after the Romans abandoned Britain around 400 CE. The Frankish Kingdom was established by Clovis I, a Merovingian king who united the Franks and expanded his territories to form what became the earliest version of the kingdom of France. Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths, does not fit with the establishment of the Frankish Kingdom but is noted for his rule over the Italian peninsula and for his diplomatic alliances with other German kings, such as his marriage to the sister of Clovis I, linking him to the Frankish Kingdom in a different way.
