Note: Area of northwestern Europe contained in modern Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Alsace-Lorraine (France), and northwestern Germany. The kingdom was established when the Carolingian empire split; it was divided into two duchies in 959. It was ruled by a ducal family from the 11th century. It was held permanently by France from 1766, except when it went to Germany (with Alsace) for a time after the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. See also the modern region of Lorraine, France. |
