FRANCONIA DUKEDOM

Franconia extended from the Rhine in the west to the Frankish border in the east, taking in the important cathedral cities of Mainz, Speyer and Worms on the west bank of the Rhine. From 843 it became the new formed East Frankish (later German) Kingdom, comprising the duchies of Bavaria, Franconia, Lorraine, Saxony and Swabia. It was later divided into France Rhenane (Rhenish France) and Eastern Franconia.
