 French Accomodation :: Whats in a Name
The rulers of Francia Orientalis, who soon claimed the imperial title and wanted to reunify the Frankish Empire, dropped the name Francia Orientalis and called their realm the Holy Roman Empire (see History of Germany).
The kings of Francia Occidentalis successfully opposed this claim, and managed to preserve Francia Occidentalis as an independent kingdom, distinct from the Holy Roman Empire.
Since the name Francia Orientalis had disappeared, there arose the habit to refer to Francia Occidentalis as Francia only, from which the word France is derived.

Emerging from the eastern part of the Frankish realm after its division in the Treaty of Verdun (843), it lasted almost a millennium, until its dissolution in 1806.
Most historians therefore consider the establishment of the Empire to be a process that started with the split of the Frankish realm in the Treaty of Verdun in 843, continuing the Carolingian dynasty independently in all three sections.
The eastern part fell to Louis the German, who was followed by several leaders until the death of Louis IV, called "the Child", the last Carolingian in the eastern part.

 FRANCIA
The original core of Francia, the Frankish Kingdom that came to dominate the West under Charlemagne, can be identified as those areas upon whose ruler the Pope at one time or another conferred a crown as the Roman Emperor.
The "Empire" came to be regarded as consisting of four crowns: (1) East Francia, or Germany, (2) Lombardy (the "Iron Crown"), or Italy, (3) Rome, and, after 1032, (4) Burgundy.
Except for the brief episode with Mussolini, emperors vanished from Francia, and from Russia, in the Götterdämmerung of World War I. This did not mean, unfortunately, the immediate triumph of democracy and liberty.

Biggest is the Carolingian Empire, comprising Francia and Germanic territories between the Rhine river and the Elbe river all the way from the North Sea south to the head of the Adriatic Sea and the northwestern Balkan region.
Elsewhere, in England and northern Spain are small kingdoms--five in England by 800 and one in northernmost Spain (the rest of the country was in Muslim hands).
In what might be called the "borderlands"--Scandinavia and the lands beyond the Elbe--rudimentary political forms persist: petty chiefdoms and free standing village farming communities run by patriarchs, sometimes depending on hilltop fortifications for refuge and security.

 Issue of the So-called 'Holy Roman Empire'
The various kings ruling in Francia occidentalis, Lotharingia, and Francia orientalis (present Western Germany), each in turn, were aiming more or less at the title of 'emperor' (for example Charles II 'le Chauve' was crowned Emperor in 875).
A key factor shown is that while the Carolingian dynasty continued briefly, off and on, in the ruling house of France, it and the domain of Francia occidentalis had ceased to be any part of the newly created Germanic empire that emerged within Francia orientalis.
The Eastern Frankish [German] magnates elected Conrad, the duke of Franconia, to be their king and to be accepted as 'emperor'-- though he was not crowned by the Pope.
