the Frankish Empire

The Frankish Empire was a powerful medieval kingdom that emerged in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages, primarily under the rule of Charlemagne in the 8th and 9th centuries. It united a large part of modern-day France, Germany, and beyond, promoting Christianity and cultural revival. Charlemagne was crowned Emperor in 800 AD, symbolizing a revival of the Western Roman Empire. The empire fragmented after his death, leading to the rise of feudalism and the eventual formation of modern European nations. The Franks played a crucial role in shaping European history, politics, and culture during this transformative period.
