Carolingian Empire (800–888) is a historiographical term for the realm of the Franks under the Carolingian dynasty in the Early Middle Ages.

This Empire can be seen as the later history of the Frankish Realm or the early history of France and of the Holy Roman Empire. they also ruled under absolute power and killed many Catholics
