Everything about Middle Francia totally explained
Middle Francia describes the realm created for the
Emperor Lothair I (843-855), wedged between
East Francia and
West Francia. The kingdom, which included the
kingdom of Italy,
Burgundy,
Provence, and the west of
Austrasia, was an unnatural creation of the
Treaty of Verdun of
843, with no historical or ethnic identity to bind its varied peoples. The kingdom was split on Lothair's death into those of
Lotharingia,
Provence (with Burgundy divided between it and Lotharingia, as
Lower Burgundy and
Upper Burgundy), and Italy.
The Emperor
Charles the Fat had, by 884, reunited all the Frankish kingdoms under his rule. At his death in 888, the nobles and leading clergy of Upper Burgundy assembled at St Maurice and elected
Rudolph, count of Auxerre, from the
Elder Welf family, as king. At first, he tried to reunite the realm of Lothair II, but opposition by
Arnulf of Carinthia forced him to focus on his Burgundian territory.
