| - The autonomous and troublesome Duchy of Aquitaine was conquered by the Franks in 769, after a series of revolts against their suzerainty. In order to avoid a new demonstration of Aquitain particularism, Charlemagne decided to organize the land within his kingdom. In 781, he made his third son, Louis then 3 years of age, king of Aquitaine. The new kingdom, subordonated to Francia included not only Aquitaine proper, but also Gothia and the Carolingian possessions in Spain as well. While the king resided in the Carolingian palaces in the north of the kingdom (Limoges/Le Palais-sur-Vienne, Poitiers/Chasseneuil, Ebreuil, Bourges, Angeac-sur-Charente/Angoulême), Doué-La-Fontaine, the administration was made in its core in Toulouse by the count Guilhèm de Gellona.
