Information About

Eastern Francia




East Francia was divided into four duchies: Swabia ( Alamannia ), Franconia , Saxony and Bavaria (including Moravia and Carinthia );
to which after the death of Lothair II in 869 were added the eastern parts of Lotharingia .

This division persisted until 1268 , the end of the Hohenstaufen dynasty.

From the 10th Century , East Francia became also known as ''regnum Teutonicum'' (" Teutonic kingdom" or "Kingdom of Germany "), a term that became prevalent in Salian times.
