His grandsons, Louis the Pious's sons, struggled for power, leading to civil wars and political instability. The Treaty of Verdun in 843 formalized the division of the empire into three separate kingdoms, which weakened central authority and facilitated the rise of regional powers.

The Carolingian Empire was a significant historical realm in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages, primarily from the 8th to the 9th centuries. It was established by the Frankish king Charlemagne, who expanded the empire through military conquests and is often credited with uniting much of Western Europe under his rule. The empire is named after Charlemagne's family, the Carolingians, and is notable for its cultural and intellectual revival, often referred to as the Carolingian Renaissance. After Charlemagne's death in 814, the empire gradually fragmented, leading to the emergence of modern European states.
