ABSTRACT
Charlemagne’s imperium failed to survive his demise in one piece. Perhaps it had simply waxed too larged. Maybe, too, this undue progress had been furthered by the extra infusions of balmy Azorean air. One can further surmise that climate fluctuation was the ultimate cause of the Holy Roman Empire’s moving in the tenth century from the Francophone world to the Germanic, there to remain for the next 800 years as a Mittel European entity.30
