Carolingian Empire appears on the map from 718 to 723. At its greatest recorded extent, in 718, it covered about 32,241 km².
The Carolingians were the Frankish family who replaced the Merovingian kings in 751. Pepin the Short's son Charlemagne spent most of his reign at war, conquering the Lombard kingdom in Italy, the Saxons, Bavaria and the Avars, until he ruled most of western and central Europe. On Christmas Day 800 Pope Leo III crowned him emperor of the Romans, reviving the imperial title in the West. More about Carolingian Empire.
