Carolingian Dynasty of Aquitaine

The Carolingian Dynasty of Aquitaine refers to a branch of the Carolingian family that ruled the region of Aquitaine in present-day France during the early Middle Ages. Part of the larger Carolingian Dynasty, which emerged from the Frankish kingdom, this branch included notable figures like Duke Aquitaine, who played a significant role in the political landscape of Europe. The dynasty is best known for its cultural revival and the establishment of powerful monarchs, most famously Charlemagne, who expanded their influence across much of Western Europe, laying the groundwork for future nations.
