The Austrian Kingdom
Europe has always been divided after the fall of the Roman Empire and still is. In the Middle Ages it was divided into kingdoms, principalities, duchies, bishoprics, and city-states. In the nineteenth century there was the development of the modern nation-states into which Europe is still divided.
The land now known as England was conquered by the Roman Empire in the 1st Century AD.In the 5th Century, due to trouble elsewhere in the Roman Empire the Roman armies were withdrawn from Britain, and Roman rule ended.
It was only the western part of the Roman Empire which fell. Its former lands were carved up. The Germanic peoples who invaded it and those who had been allowed to settle in the empire as allies established their own kingdoms: the Kingdom of the Vandals in north-western Africa, the Kingdom of the Visigoths in Hispania (Spain and Portugal) and south-western France, the Burgundian kingdom in eastern France, the kingdom of the Franks in northern and central France. The Alemanni took over Switzerland and north-eastern France. Finally, the Ostrogoths took over Italy, which became part of the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.

The disintegration of the western part of the empire was started by the invasion by Germanic peoples of Gaul (France, Belgium, Holland south of the river Rhine, and Germany west of the Rhine) by the Vandals, Sueves and Alans from central Europe in 406. The Alemanni from southern Germany and Burgundians from central Europe also crossed the frontier and took over Roman lands. Other Germanic peoples, the Visigoths and the Franks, which had been allowed to settle in parts of the Roman Empire, also started to take over (western) Roman territories. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians form the north of the Netherlands migrated to Britain in waves and took it over. The Germanic peoples formed their own kingdoms in the former lands of the western part of the Roman Empire: the Kingdom of the Vandals in north-western Africa, the Visigoth Kingdom in south-western France, Spain and Portugal, the Burgundian Kingdom in eastern France, and the Frankish Kingdom in Holland south of the river Rhine, Belgium, and northern and central France. The Franks then developed the most powerful kingdom. They took over Alemannic possessions north-eastern France (Alsace) and Switzerland and their homeland in southern Germany (which had been outside the Roman Empire). They pushed Visigoths out of south-western France. They also conquered the Burgundian kingdom in eastern France. Thus, they conquered the whole of Gaul as well as southern Germany. Later, Charlemagne, a Frankish king, conquered northern and central Italy, the southern side of the Pyrenees Mountains is Spain, Bavaria, Austria, Slovenia and northern Germany and created the Carolingian empire. This empire covered most of Western Europe.
