Treaty Of Verdun




Each of the brothers was already established in one kingdom - Lothair in Italy , Louis The German in Bavaria , and Charles The Bald in Aquitaine . Lothair received the central portion of the empire - what later became the Low Countries , Lorraine , Alsace , Burgundy , Provence , and Italy, and the imperial title as an honor without more than nominal overlordship. Louis the German received the Eastern Portion , much of what later became Germany through the shape of the Holy Roman Empire . Charles The Bald received the Western Portion , much of what later became France . Pepin II was granted the kingdom of Aquitaine, but only under the authority of Charles.

Though often presented as the beginning of a devolution or dissolution of Charlemagne 's unitary empire, it in fact reflected the continued adherence to the Frankish idea of a Partible Or Divisible Inheritance rather than Primogeniture .
