The Holy Roman Empire was neither sacred nor Roman, and was completely self-entertainment of a group of Central European nobles and the orthodox nature of the Frankish Empire.

Obviously, they did a very good job.

Because the Holy Roman Empire recognized the loose aristocratic autonomy, many local nobles in the Central Frankish Empire demanded to join the Holy Roman Empire after hearing this.

The territory of the Holy Roman Empire was like this, and it expanded wildly in a situation that was not a war, and soon annexed the entire Zhong Frank!

All local nobles, including along the Rhine River, consider themselves members of the Holy Roman Empire.

The establishment of this empire was a political victory, the establishment of the empire and the system of the imperial assembly, which prevented the independent nobles in the Holy Roman Empire from starting the war of annexation as soon as possible.

Everyone sat harmoniously on the negotiating table, ensuring the political interests of all participating nobles, and fighting against the enemy together as an empire!

The reason why the Holy Roman Empire is so harmonious is closely related to the aggressive force of the Han Empire!

From the perspective of territory, the Holy Roman Empire happened to border the province of Pannonia that the Han Empire had just embezzled.

The West Frank is thousands of miles away from the Han Empire!

This is why West Frank was the first to break out of rebellion without hesitation, because they were not worried that the Han Empire would expand in a short period of time.

However, the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire led to the name of Frank becoming unlawful and also brought the West Frank civil war to a new stage.

The princes either died in battle or were forced to abdicate and gave way to the sages. After the rebellious nobles overthrew the rule of the Frank Empire, in order to deal with the possible western invasion of the Holy Roman Empire, they planned to imitate the Holy Roman Empire to establish a loose kingdom serving the nobles.

However, the most powerful Burgundy Kingdom disagreed. The royal family of the Burgundy Kingdom wanted to replace the Frank Empire and become the master of the West Frank, and then imitate the Charles Great of that year, defeated the Holy Roman Empire and became the new Frank!

After all, the Holy Roman Empire seemed powerful, but it was a loose federation composed of aristocrats inside. The Burgundy Kingdom was stronger than any noble in the Holy Roman Empire.

At the same time, the Burgundy Kingdom was also stronger than any rebel noble in the West Franks.

Even two or three rebel nobles tied up together, they were no match for the Burgundian royal family.

The Burgundy king, who thought he was strong and knew how to fight, naturally wanted to become the master of West Frank.

However, the rebellious nobles of West Frank finally took over as the masters of their own country. How could they agree to another emperor appear above their heads?

Because the Burgundy Kingdom was too powerful, the independent nobles of the West Frank had to unite and simply imitated the Holy Roman Empire to establish a seemingly unified aristocratic feudal state-the Kingdom of France.

These West Frank's independent nobles also had self-knowledge. They did not dare to call themselves empires, but just united to establish kingdoms. Their main purpose was to fight against the Burgundy Kingdom and seek self-protection.

The king of Burgundy was furious when he heard the news of the founding of the Kingdom of France.

In the 9th year of the Han Dynasty, the Frank Empire fell apart. Except for the province of Pannonia that was annexed by the Han Dynasty, the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Burgundy appeared on the original territory.

However, the Frank army that besieged the Roman Empire at the headquarters of the Apennine Peninsula saw that the Frank was in a desperate situation, and they all made themselves kings.

As a result, a series of small countries such as Venice, Genoa, Sardinia, and Lombardy emerged.

Those who established these small countries were all generals of the local Frankish occupation forces.

The dilemma of the Roman Empire was solved.

Everyone has become independent, so naturally no one will siege the Roman Empire.

However, at this time, Augustus, who had taken a big advantage, thought it was his destiny, and completely ignored the undercurrent caused by the heavy losses caused by the aristocracy and army loyal to Rome when the Apennine Peninsula was beaten by the Frank for a long time, and he brazenly attacked the Roman Catholic Church, which had been deeply rooted and betrayed his own!

The Roman Catholic Church, which had already taken advantage of the opportunity of war to penetrate into all aspects of the city of Rome, was aware of Augustus's actions in advance and launched a religious mutiny.

The church warriors loyal to the Catholic Church and the divine servant who mastered spells first launched an attack on the palace where Augustus was.

Although Augustus's personal guards resisted desperately, they were blocked by the church's armed forces because the army loyal to Augustus failed to start, and their power was dispersed. In the end, the palace guards were outnumbered and were captured, while Augustus died in a fierce battle...

In this regard, the Roman Empire was declared to perish by the Catholic Church, and the Catholic Pope established the highest papal state with the city of Rome as its capital.

However, Catholicism is not orthodox after all. Except for the areas around the city of Rome that are controlled by Catholicism, Roman generals from other parts of the Apennine Peninsula naturally would not join the so-called Pope, and they all proclaimed themselves as kings due to the practice of Frank generals.

Thanks to the collapse of Frank, self-esteem has become a very popular method in Europa.

Any ambitious and powerful general is waiting for the opportunity to become king.

As a result, the central and southern parts of the Apennine Peninsula also followed the footsteps of the north, and a small state appeared.

However, the mountainous areas in the southern Apennines were very poor and sparsely populated, so the states in the southern Apennines were quickly merged and formed a two Sicilian kingdom with a vast territory that occupied the entire southern Apennines but had little population.

In the central part of the Apennine Peninsula, since it was the main war zone between the Roman Empire and the Frank Empire at that time, a large number of Roman legions were stationed. After the generals of these legions became independent, a small country was formed in the central part of the Apennine Peninsula.

But when the two Sicily kingdoms were established, these small countries could only begin to merge or annex to protect themselves, and became countries comparable to the Pope. Then they joined forces with the Pope to form a common front to prevent the Northern Expedition of the two Sicily kingdoms.

In this way, after the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Apennines formed a strange balance. The two Sicilian kingdoms with many lands and few people were the most powerful, but their military strength was not enough to eliminate the central state alliance of the Apennines led by the Pope.

Many countries in the northern Apennine Peninsula still have internal conflicts and dare not expand externally.

At the time of the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Burgundy Kingdom brazenly launched a war of conquest against the French Kingdom.

Then, in less than a year, the Burgundy Kingdom, which was very fond of merit, was defeated by the French Kingdom because of its national strength...
