Overview
East Francia, also known as the Kingdom of the East Franks, was a country in Western Europe that existed from 843 to 962 CE. It was established as a successor state of the Carolingian Empire through the 843 Treaty of Verdun, which divided the former kingdom of Francia into three parts. Ruled by the Carolingian dynasty until 911, East Francia was the eastern portion of this division, alongside Middle Francia and West Francia. This east-west division, reinforced by a Germanic-Latin language split, gradually led to the establishment of separate kingdoms, with East Francia becoming the predecessor to the Kingdom of Germany.
