With the Germanic invasions, the Vandals took over Africa, the Visigoths, Sueves and Alans took over Spain and Portugal, and the Franks took over France southern Germany and Switzerland. In 800 Charlemagne defeated the Lombards in Italy and the pope gave him Italy and crowned him emperor. Charlemagne then invaded northern Germany and part of northern Spain. His empire covered most of Western Europe (except for Portugal, most of Spain, Denmark and Scandinavia).
