Duchy of Aquitaine (independent duchy, 7th-8th c.)

670 – 769
DuchyEurope

A quasi-independent Frankish sub-kingdom/duchy south of the Loire, ruled in practice as its own realm by Duke Odo the Great and his successors from Toulouse. Odo defeated an Umayyad army at the Battle of Toulouse (721) and later allied with Charles Martel to help repel the Umayyads at Tours (732), while resisting full Frankish overlordship for most of the 8th century under his son Hunald and grandson Waifer.

Crushed by Charlemagne's campaigns of 768-769 following Duke Waifer's assassination; absorbed into the Frankish realm and later revived as a nominal Carolingian sub-kingdom (781) and, after 843, a West Frankish duchy.
