Francia

Francia refers to the historical region and kingdom in Western Europe that was established in the early Middle Ages and is often associated with the Frankish tribes. The term “Francia” originally designated the lands inhabited by the Franks, a Germanic people, and later became synonymous with the Carolingian Empire under rulers such as Charlemagne. Over time, the name evolved to denote various territories, including the modern nation of France. In a broader context, Francia can also refer to the cultural and political legacy of the Franks and their impact on the formation of medieval European states.
