Francia or Frankia, also called the Frankish Empire (
Latin: imperium Francorum), Frankish Kingdom (Latin: regnum Francorum, "Kingdom of the Franks"), or Frankish Realm, often just Frankland, was the territory inhabited and ruled by the
Franks from the
3rd to the
10th century. The Frankish realm was ruled as one polity subdivided into several regna (kingdoms or subkingdoms). The geography and number of subkingdoms varied over time, but the term Francia eventually came to refer to just one regnum, that of
Austrasia, centred on the
Rhine river. Sometimes the term was used to encompass
Neustria north of the
Loire and west of the
Seine as well, but in time the designation settled on the region of the
Seine basin around
Paris, which still bears the name today as
Île-de-France and which gave the name to the entire
Kingdom of France.
