Web Notes notes for Hugh CAPET King Of France
From "The Plantagenet Chronicles" edited by Elizabeth Hallam, ISBN 1-55584-018-3, p21:
In 800 the Emperor crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of a massive Empire which encompassed modern France, Italy and most of Germany. In 843 it was divided between his grandsons, West Francia, or France, being given to Charles the Bald. During the next century the authority of the Carolingian rulers in France gradually collapsed, and in 987 they were replaced by Hugh Capet and his line.
