Talk:Hyborian Age

People here equate the Carolingian Empire with France... its rather wrong. The Carolingian Empire encomposed all of France, (mostly) but was a Frankish (not French) empire. It was a Germanic empire, founded and ruled by Germans, from Germany (capital was Aachen. For the 'core' of the Frankish tribe, think of Frankfurt, meaning 'fort of the Franks'.

Thats why, when the empire was split in 3, the eastern part (Germany) kept the name "Holy Roman Empire".
