Aquitaine was a part of the Visigothic kingdom. It was conquered by the
Franks 507 and became a Frankish part kingdom 629 ruled by the Merovingian
Charibert II. After his death Aquitaine was ruled by independent minded
dukes. Charlemagne executed the last of these dukes 778 and restored
Aquitaine as Frankish part kingdom ruled by members of the Carolingian
dynasty. This kingdom united with France 877 but by then had a new duchy of
Aquitaine already been created. The duchy together with several other French
fiefs became a part of the kings of England's possessions. They forced the
French kings to give up their supremacy over Aquitaine 1360 during the
Hundred Years War, but France reconquered it before the end of that war
whereby Aquitaine became a part of the France's royal domain. During the
high middle age was the name Aquitaine replaced with Guyenne in the French
language.
