'''France''' as a [[medieval]] [[kingdom]] occupied much the same area as classical [[Gaul]], but having prospered under the [[Roman Empire\|Pax Romana]] its people [[language\|spoke]] [[Latin]], and having been invaded by the [[Frank]]s its blood was no longer [[Celtic]].

	The lands had become part of a great [[Carolingian Empire\|empire]] under the rule of [[Charlemagne]], but after his death in 814 the empire was split into three parts and his son [[Charles the Bald]] took control of the western portion. Having had a father known as Charles the Magnificent, Charles the Bald tried to improve his epithet with an an attempt to reunite the empire. This failed. [[Charles the Fat]] had even more motivation but his attempt to reunite the empire also failed.

	The Carolingian line eventually died out in the western kingdom, which was probably just as well given the number of bald and fat people it turned out. The leading ~~nobles~~ then elected a new king, [[Hugh Capet]] and thus the [[Capetian]] dynasty was born. France was by now a generally feudal kingdom, and the Capetians had to work long and hard at politics in order to build their authority. This was not least because the [[crown]] itself held little land, and accordingly the king relied on persuading some of the nobles to support him when he had disputes ~~wth~~ other nobles. And usually the only way to do this was to reward them in some way, from ~~resourecs~~ already slim. One of their most difficult land holders was [[Henry II]], King of [[England]]. As you can imagine, getting him to swear [[fealty]] was a difficult task. No least because, when Louis VII divorced [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]] (who held about a fifth of the country in her own right as her father's heir), she then married Henry and he (and his sons, [[Henry the Young King]], [[Richard I\|Richard]], and [[John Lackland\|John]] after him) took over her lands, and added them to the links with the Duchy of Normandy and with the [[Norman]] [[kingdom]]s in Italy.
