Holy Roman Empire

King Louis the Child death

911
(Present Day Frankfurt, Germany)

Around 900, autonomous stem duchies (Franconia, Bavaria, Swabia, Saxony, and Lotharingia) reemerged in East Francia. After the Carolingian king Louis the Child died without issue in 911, East Francia did not turn to the Carolingian ruler of West Francia to take over the realm but instead elected one of the dukes, Conrad of Franconia (Conard I of Germany), as Rex Francorum Orientalium.
