Before the French Revolution, which started in 1789, French units of measurement that were founded on the Carolingian system, introduced by Charlemagne, which in turn were based on contemporaneous Byzantine and ancient Roman measures. Charlemagne brought a consistent system of measures across the entire empire. However, after his death, the empire fragmented and many rulers introduced their own variants of the units of measure.
