Narrative

[large-G675.FTW]

Charles 'The Bald' King Of The Franks arranged with his two half brothers to divide the great empire of their grandfather, Charlemagne. He accomplished this by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. Charles received the western portion, thus becoming the
first to rule France as a separate kingdom.
