The Frankish Empire, established in the late 5th century, was a powerful realm in Western Europe, known for its unification of various Germanic tribes under strong leadership, particularly that of Charlemagne in the 8th and 9th centuries. It was characterized by a feudal system, with local lords governing lands in exchange for loyalty to the king. The empire played a key role in the spread of Christianity and cultural revival during the Carolingian Renaissance. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for modern European nations, particularly France and Germany.
