Carolingian Dynasty of Bavaria

The Carolingian Dynasty of Bavaria refers to the branch of the Carolingian family that ruled Bavaria in what is now modern Germany during the late 8th and early 9th centuries. This dynasty is part of the larger Carolingian Dynasty, founded by Charles Martel, known for its significant influence on the development of medieval Europe. Under leaders like Louis the German, the Bavarian branch became an essential part of the Holy Roman Empire, promoting Christianity and centralized governance. The Carolingians generally fostered cultural and political revival, laying the groundwork for future European states.
