A history of German monarchs.

Kingdom of Germany
Charlemagne's empire had dissolved the tribal duchies of Germany. In their place, stem duchies (stammesherzogtum) were established:
- Saxony
- Bavaria
- Swabia (a.k.a. Alemannia)
- Franconia
- Lotharingia (a.k.a. Lorraine)
Note that Lotharingia quickly dissolved, but the powerful office of the count palatine of Lotharingia was enshrined into the county palatine of the Rhine, which eventually evolved into the Electoral Palatinate
These duchies, sometimes proclaiming themselves kingdoms, would eventually form the basis of a German kingdom.
When Louis the Child died in 911, the dukes of Saxony, Bavaria, and Swabia intervened to bar Charles the Simple of West Francia from inheriting. They elected the duke of Franconia, Conrad I, to be king instead. As a non-Carolingian had been crowned, this is considered to be the moment when East Francia evolved into the kingdom of Germany.
