The '''Duchy of Aquitaine''' ({{lang-oc|Ducat d'Aquitània}}, {{IPA-oc|dyˈkad dakiˈtaɲɔ|IPA}}; {{lang-fr|Duché d'Aquitaine}}, {{IPA-fr|dyʃe dakitɛn|IPA}}) was a historical [[fief]]dom in western, central and southern areas of present-day [[France]] to the south of the river [[Loire
It originated in the 7th century as a duchy of [[Francia]], ultimately a recreation of the Roman provinces of {{lang|la|[[Gallia Aquitania|Aquitania Prima and Secunda]]}}. As a duchy, it broke up after the conquest of the independent Aquitanian duchy of [[Waiofar]], going on to become a sub-kingdom within the [[Carolingian Empire]], eventually subsumed in [[West Francia]] after the 843 [[partition of Verdun]]. It reappeared as a duchy, and in the [[High Middle Ages]], an enlarged Aquitaine pledged loyalty to the [[Angevin kings of England]]. Their claims in France triggered the [[Hundred Years' War]], in which the [[kingdom of France]] gained control of the territory under dispute in the 1450s, with many incorporated areas coming to be ruled directly by the French kings.
