After the demise of the Western Roman Empire, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other places were occupied by a group of Franks today, and they established the Frankish Kingdom.
In 800 AD, Charlemagne proclaimed himself emperor in Rome, and the Frankish Kingdom became the Frankish Empire, namely Charlemagne Empire. In 843, the empire was divided into the West Frankish Kingdom, the Middle Frankish Kingdom and the East Frankish Kingdom.
