From the Paper:

"Around the year 800, most of Western Europe was united under the Frankish king Charlemagne. His kingdom was divided among his grandsons, and the western part became France. By medieval standards, however, France was vast and diverse, and forging it into a single country took centuries. Indeed, strong regional sentiments persist just below the surface in outlying areas such as Brittany and Provence."
