East Francia (sep 1, 843 – nov 9, 911)
Description:
- Hereditary monarchy (Carolingians)East Francia (Latin: Francia orientalis) or the Kingdom of the East Franks (regnum Francorum orientalium) was a precursor of the Holy Roman Empire. A successor state of Charlemagne's empire, it was ruled by the Carolingian dynasty until 911. It was created through the Treaty of Verdun (843) which divided the former empire into three kingdoms.[a]
The east–west division, enforced by the German-Latin language split, "gradually hardened into the establishment of separate kingdoms",[1] with East Francia becoming the Kingdom of Germany and West Francia the Kingdom of France.
