Link to the lesson You will learn to explain why the Empire of Charles the Great broke up; to describe the fate of the Carolingian dynasty after the death of Charles the Great; to indicate what influence the Treaty in Verdun had on the history and shape of Europe; to characterize the beginnings of creation of the contemporary states – Germany, France and Italy. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu After the death of Emperor Charles the Great in 814, his successor became his son - Louis the Pious who unsuccessfully undertook actions aimed at maintaining the unity of the state and stopping the excessive ambitions of his sons. To strengthen his position, Louis the Pious worked closely with the church hierarchy. This led to an increase in the importance of the clergy and loss of the emperor's authority and completely changed the perception of the position of the ruler by the Church. From now on it was not the Church was part of the Louis the Pious (Louis I) Christian monarchy, but itself started managing the Source: domena publiczna. monarchy. This way the emperor could no longer interfere in the affairs of the clergy, but he could even be assessed for morality. The results of this change have become visible very quickly. Statements of relatives, rebellions of his own sons led to total fall of the emperor's authority. The long lasting wars were finally ended by the Treaty in Verdun, adopted after the death of Louis the Pious in 843. He led to the irreversible division of the empire between his sons Lothair, Charles the Bald and Louis the German. Their lands became the origin of modern states: West Francia of Charles the Bald – France; East Francia of Louis the German – Germany; Middle Francia of Lothair – Italy. The imperial title, being only honorary leadership, was retained by the oldest of the sons - Lothair. His kingdom included the most developed and richest provinces of the Carolingian Empire. Unfortunately, their political and ethnic diversity quickly led to the disintegration of the kingdom. The former empire of Charles the Great was united for a short time in the second half of the ninth century by Charles the Fat, son of Louis the German. However also his reign did not last long. After only a few years, he was forced to abdicate and the state was finally divided. The position of the king in West Francia has been very week since the beginning and the ruling Carolingian dynasty could not keep the authority of the rulers. This was due to the weakness of the state in reactions for invasions of enemies what led to its disintegration into many independent counties and principalities. Finally, after the death of the last ruler of the Carolingian dynasty, the king of the Franks became Hugo Kapet from the line of Robertians. It initiated the reign of the new dynasty with future kings of France for over 300 years. Eastern Frankish monarchy, whose founder was Louis the German, in the first decades of its existence, thanks to maintaining elements of the state organization from the time of Charles the Great and subordination of the powerful and clergy to royal authorities, avoided a deep crisis. However, in the 10th century, it fell into chaos and disintegrated into four duchies – Frankonia, Saxony, Bavaria and Swabia where princes became the rulers. Conrad I, the prince of Franconia, tried to save the broken country, however, realizing the weakness of his position and his own dynasty (The Conradines), he appointed the strongest Reich prince - Henry, the Saxon prince - as his successor. It was a breakthrough decision, because for the first time the authorities over the Franks was in the hands of a ruler not originating from this people. After taking the authorities in Lineage of the German rulers 919 as the king of Eastern Franks, he initiated a new period Source: licencja: CC 0. in history, giving origin to a later called German state.

The area covered by present-day Switzerland underwent a similar development to that of the rest of Western Europe. The earliest centuries were marked by mass migration (Barbarian Invasions).

For a brief period the King of the Franks, Charlemagne, controlled a large swathe of Western Europe. In 800 AD, he became the first medieval ruler to be crowned Emperor. Yet, the reign of Charlemagne did not establish any real idea of state. At each level of society, relations between the strong and weak were based on personal dependencies. The emperor ruled over a network of noble families, with kings, dukes and princes constantly jostling for greater power in a bid to preserve or add to the privileges they enjoyed.

In line with the rejection- identification hypothesis, people in the treated area which experienced a change in nation-status and were exposed to repressive homogenization policies express a stronger regional identity and support more regional autonomy today. On average, subjects with a stronger regional also express a stronger European identity, which we exploit in a regression discontinuity design at the municipal level to reveal whether these identity differences are causal. We find that support for the European Union is significantly stronger in two crucial referenda, a result that is robust across different specifications and bandwidths, and not driven by language differences, large agglomerations or distance to foreign countries.

  • Military Conflict and the Economic Rise of Urban Europe
    Military Conflict and the Economic Rise of Urban Europe∗ Mark Dincecco† Massimiliano Gaetano Onorato‡ December 5, 2013 Abstract We present new city-level evidence about the military origins of Europe’s economic “backbone,” the prosperous urban belt that runs from the Low Countries to northern Italy. Military conflict was a defining feature of pre-industrial Europe. The destructive effects of conflict were worse in the countryside, leading rural inhabitants to relocate behind urban fortifications. Conflict-related city population growth in turn had long- run economic consequences. Using GIS software, we construct a novel conflict exposure measure that computes city distances from nearly 300 major conflicts from 1000 to 1799. We find a significant, positive, and robust relationship between conflict exposure and historical city population growth. Next, we use luminosity data to construct a novel measure of current city-level economic activity. We show evidence that the economic legacy of historical conflict exposure endures to the present day.

    - 741 : After succesfully expelling the Anglo-Saxons from Sílkedes, the lords of that region launch their own incursion into Aquitaine in southern Francia, well knowing that a large portion of the Frankish army was in Poseidonis. Neustria and Burgundy quickly retaliate, sending in reinforcements to the scarce levies in Aquitaine. - 742 : The Sílkedean lords quickly subdue the western coast of Aquitaine. The Francian armies meet them in the field, and while the battle was close, they suffered a defeat and retreated further into the duchy. -743 : The Great Power spreads to Francia, though the Sílkedeans weren't as learned in the ways of mageia as the Empire. -744 : The Sílkedeans conquer nearly all of Aquitaine, but the Franks stage an ambush that shatters a main Atlantean force, and regain much of the northeastern holdings. -745 : In Francia, Sílkedean forces are pushed back by some major Frankish victories, but continue winning minor skirmishes. In the desire to avoid more bloodshed, and because of the fact that both sides are evenly matched, a peace offer was sent to the Franks by the Sílkedeans. The Franks, whose biggest army was across the sea, accept this offer and cede half of Aquitaine to the Sílkedean lords, who establish their own realms in the area layed over previous adminstrative units. An Andalusian adventurer takes control of Narbonne, renamed Arbûna. The old prince of Aquitania, Hunald dies the same year and his son inherits only from the duchy of Toulouse located between the Silkedeans realms and Muslim Septimania 4 realms are founded by the Silkedeans : the Archonate of Bordekes, (Bordeaux) the Archonate of Pides(Poitiers), the Archonate of Gasconios (Gascogne) and the Archonate of Borbes ( Bourbon ) Each swear to help each other is one is attacked by the Franks.

    VOL. 11, NO. 2 — FEBRUARY 2018 FOR THE RECORDS Researching Alsace and Lorraine Publications and websites mentioned in this article are listed in the bibliography. Alsace and Lorraine are storied, often contested lands located in eastern France on its border with Germany and the Low Countries. Alsace (see map, right), at 3,196 square miles, is about one-quarter larger than the state of Connecticut1. Lorraine (see map, page 4), at 9,089 square miles, is just slightly smaller than the state of Vermont2. Along with Champaign-Ardenne, they form the modern region Grand Est whose regional capital and largest city is Strasbourg. The historic Alsace Region was the smallest in metro- politan France, made up of two departments, Bas-Rhin in the north and Haut-Rhin in the south. The region features a large plain about four times longer than it is wide and situated between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. Prior to the Franco-Prussian War, Al- sace, specifically the Haut-Rhin, also included the Ter- ritoire de Belfort. When the Germans took control over the rest of Alsace, it became the smallest department in France, and was attached to Franche-Comté and is now part of Bourgogne- Franche-Comté. The historic Lorraine Region was much larger and con- sisted of four departments, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle, and Vosges.

Introduction Near the end of his continuation of Paul the Deacon‟s History of the Lombards, the late- ninth century historian Andrew of Bergamo recorded the death of the emperor Louis II (855-75), in whose funeral he had participated.1 Louis was in many ways the central figure of Andrew‟s text, and he regarded the emperor‟s demise as having grave consequences: „after his death a great tribulation came to Italy‟ he lamented in his penultimate extant chapter.2 Italy had been ruled since 774 by the Carolingians, a Frankish dynasty from north of the Alps. The disintegration of their empire in 888, followed by several decades during which the political landscape was dominated by complex struggles between rival rulers and aristocratic factions, has given Andrew‟s gloomy statement the ring of eery prophecy.3 By the time the powerful Saxon king Otto I arrived to assert himself on this fractured landscape in the 950s, he was but the latest in a long line of transalpine rulers who sought to benefit from the internecine divisions which ran through the Italian political community. It is little wonder that Liutprand of Cremona, the kingdom‟s next major historian, looked back from Otto‟s reign over the pockmarked history of the previous half century and remarked that „the Italians always like to have two kings, so that they can use one to terrorise the other.‟4 Accordingly, modern historians have come to agree that 875 was a major turning point in Italian political history, and that the historical era bookended by Louis‟s death and Otto‟s arrival 1 Andrew, Historia, ed.

    Lesson 3. The early medieval states in West and Central Europe Learning tasks: by completing this unit of study, the student will be able to: Identify and retain the most important moments of the evolution of the early medieval states of Western and Central Europe between the 5th century and the 11th century: the Ostrogothic Kingdom; the Langobard Kingdom; the Visigothic Kingdom; the Vandal Kingdom; the Frankish State (The Frankish Kingdom; The Carolingian Empire) and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. 1. The Ostrogothic Kingdom The Ostrogoths domination in Italy lasted more than half a century (493-554). The Ostrogothic Kingdom encompassed the central and northern Italy, northwestern Balkans and Pannonia. In 497 was reached the agreement between Theoderic the Great (493-526) and Emperor Anastasius, in which Theodoric was recognized as king of the Ostrogoths and empowered of the Eastern Roman Empire to Italy with the rank of patrician and supreme commander. But, in reality Theoderic led Italy as a real sovereign. In 523 takes place a conspiracy of the Roman nobility, in conjunction with the Eastern Roman Empire. Three years later, Theoderic dies and as leader of the Ostrogothic kingdom followed his daughter Amalasuntha, who held the power during the nonage period of her son. Between 526 and 535 have increased clashes between the groups of pro-Roman and anti-Roman Ostrogothic aristocracy, which led to the weakening of royal authority and the Ostrogothic Kingdom. Between the fourth decade and the six decade of the sixth century, during the reign of the Emperor Justinian (527-565), the Eastern Roman Empire started the actions to the reconquest of the provinces of the West Roman Empire, in order to restore the unity of the Roman Empire.
