Can you tell me something about the tools used to create this beautiful thing?

Only GIMP2 (even though it's pretty limited, but I'm used to it) and stuff you can find on wikimedia commons

HiΒ TiltschMaster ,
this is very impressive, congratulations!
I was wondering where you found the coat of arms of Italy, as I have never seen it before and it intrigues me!

In my own imagination

hahahahahaha, i like it! I have noticed the kings of Italy under the Carolingian empire don't have a coat of arms

None of them had coats of arms at the time. The arms for the Carolinigians were created post-mortem during the High Middle Ages, when coats of arms became commonplace.

Would be funny if that yellow cross with the blue shield was Sweden but wow.Β Good work.Β

Looks great! But I have couple of questions:
1) Where did Italian arms came from?
2) Why no Burgundy and Aquitaine? Both were Carolingian kingdoms, and Burgundy existed for quite a while.
Also I think if Carolinginans conquered entire Iberia, they wouldn't keep it as one kingdom, because it would be too powerful. Probably along the lines of old Visigothic provinces.

Well in reality the CoA of Italy was the Shield of the Savoy, Β a Royal family who have ruled the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1946. And have ruled too the Kingdom of Sardinia (1701-1861) and the Duchy of Savoy (1061-1701)

1) Since Italy at that time had no coat of arms and only the later small duchies and republics adopted their own, I decided to use the female wolf as the symbol of Rome and thus Italy.
2) Well, honestly, I don't realy know. I just figured that at some time they maybe would have to change internaly and this is what I came up with. I know that is mostly very illogical, but hey.

Wirklich sehr schΓΆn
Eine Frage: Wieso hat das KΓΆnigreich Sachsen das (Nieder-)sachsenross als Wappen und nicht das mehrfach Schwarz-Gold geteilte Schild mit auf gelegtem Rautenkranz?
π: 0 β©: 1
Weil das Sachsenross das Wappen des Herzogtums Sachsen war zwischen 800 und 1300, zumindest soweit ich weiΓ.

Naja das des Stammesherzogtums. Das heutige Gebiet Sachsen hat mit dem Stamm der Sachsen nur den Namen gemein.
Man hat sie deshalb mal in nieder- und obersachsen geteilt. Niedersachsen is das Gebiet des des heutigen Niedersachsens, Bremens und Schleswig-Holsteins wΓ€hrend die Obersachsen in ThΓΌringen, Sachsen und Sachen-Anhalt leb(t)en.
Nun kommt es natΓΌrlich auf deine TL an welches Sachsen zum KΓΆnigreich wurde

Das Sachsen der StΓ€mme, was Karl der GroΓe 772 erobert und ins Reich eingegliedert hat.

Hmmm, would the cross on the crown of Hungary be tilted? Since there was no A-H during which it got squashed in a chest and the arms changed?
π: 0 β©: 1
Shit, you're right
Let's say there was an Archbishop of Esztergom who was shaking during the coronation of one random king and he dropped it. Of course he was executed and excomunicated

Close enough XD Hmmmmm *searches for other mistakes* >:3
(Correct answer: There are no mistakes in alternate history 
BTW, was there a map to go with this?

Pretty :3 But we should have Teschen
Also, is it just me or is Rhodes blue? O_o
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, it is supposed to be blue cause it stayed in the posession of the Order of St. John ..Β
In my thought, the got driven out for a short time by the Byzantines, but when the Byzantines had to rely on the Carolingians to not be conquered, they leased the island back to the Order and therby it became part of the Carolingian Empire. Rhodes and Malta are now ruled by the Order of St. John as part of the Carolingian Empire, for wich reason the order is represented in the CoA. It made sense to me when I created this
