What was the extent of Charlemagne's empire?

Charlemagne's empire included nearly all of modern France, but not Brittany. It included northern Spain, in the area of the Pyrenees known as the Spanish March. It included Belgium and the Netherlands, most of what was West Germany, Switzerland, most of Austria, and parts of northern Italy, including Lombardy and Tuscany. In addition to this, areas extending for about three hundred kilometers east were very likely to be tributaries of the empire. The Empire of the West, as Charlemagne's empire was called, gave rise to the nation of France and the Holy Roman Empire.


Whawt was the last roman empire of the western empire?

Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans did not have them and used only one term: Roman Empire. Historian use the term to indicate the western and eastern part of the Roman Empire. Emperor Diocletian created a co-emperorship with fellow general Maximian in 286. Diocletian was in charge of the east and Maximian was in charge of the west. Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) was designated the imperial capital for the east and Milan was designated the imperial capital for the west. This was not a splitting of the Roman Empire. It was an administrative arrangement designed to improve the defence vast frontiers of the empire. The western part of the empire included the Roman possessions in western Europe, including Britain, and Africa (Northern Morocco, coastal Algeria, Tunisia and western coastal Libya). The eastern part included southeastern Europe (the Balkan Peninsula) the possessions in Asia (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and the northern part of the coast on the red Sea of Saudi Arabia), Egypt and eastern coastal Libya. Emperor Constantine the great moved the capital of the east from Nicomedia to the nearby Byzantium, which he redeveloped and renamed Constantinople in 330.

When the emperor moved to constantinople how did that affect the importance of rome?

Constantine's decision to designate Constantinople as the imperial capital did not have a great effect of Rome's position in the empire. Her position had been declining for some time. This was because the Romans had found it difficult to defend their frontiers along the rivers Rhine and Danube from numerous attempted invasions by outsiders. Since Rome was distant from these frontiers, she became marginalised. The frontiers areas became the important part of the empire and as a result of continuous military efforts to defend them, many emperors were humble men who had rose through the military ranks and were from Pannonia, an area along the mid-Danube. The importance of some cities along the Danube increased . Milan (in northern Italy) became very important because, being close to the Alps, it became the military base for sending troops to the frontiers along the Alps and the river Rhine and for the defence of northern Italy. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Diocletian, Constantine's predecessor. Diocletian had designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital for the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.
