  • Francia or Frankia, later also called the Frankish Empire, Frankish Kingdom, Frankish Realm or occasionally Frankland, was the territory inhabited and ruled by the Franks from the 3rd to the 10th century. Under the nearly continuous campaigns of Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, and Charlemagne—father, son, grandson—the greatest expansion of the Frankish empire was secured by the early 9th century. The tradition of dividing patrimonies among brothers meant that the Frankish realm was ruled, nominally, as one polity subdivided into several regna (kingdoms or subkingdoms). The geography and number of subkingdoms varied over time, but the particular term Francia came generally to refer to just one regnum, that of Austrasia, centred on the Rhine and Meuse rivers in northern Europe; even so, sometimes the term was used as well to encompass Neustria north of the Loire and west of the Seine. Eventually, the singular use of the name Francia shifted towards Paris, and settled on the region of the Seine basin surrounding Paris, which still today bears the name Île-de-France, and which region gave its name to the entire Kingdom of France.
  • Il Regno franco o Regno dei Franchi (Regnum Francorum in latino) fu l'entità statale costituita dai Franchi tra il 420 e l'800 in un'ampia area dell'Europa occidentale, oggi compresa tra Francia, Belgio, Paesi Bassi, Lussemburgo e Germania, e in seguito ulteriormente espanda verso sud e verso est. Il regno era ripartito in due grandi regioni, Neustria e Austrasia, e fu governato da due dinastie: i Merovingi e i Carolingi, anche se questi detenevano il potere reale già dalla fine del VII secolo, in qualità di maestri di palazzo.
