Tenth Century (Régime de l'Aigle)

''Beginning in the late tenth century the Kingdom of France gradually transitioned into its later loose collection of states. In 987 the kingdom would elect Hugh Capet as the new king of France. The Capets however would fall to establish a stable dynasty, and wars with the Carolingians and their supporters over Capet ascension greatly undermined French stability. ''

Additionally this page details important background information leading up to the establishment of the Kingdom of France, including the Carolingian Civil War, the empire's subsequent division by the Treaty of Verdun, and the kings of France before the reign of Hugh Capet.
