Aquitaine

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.
