Note* Berengar, also called BERENGARIO, DUKE AND MARCHESE (duca e marchese) DELFRIULI (d. April 7, 924), king of Italy from 888 (as Berengar I) and HolyRoman emperor from 915. He was the founder of a line of princes of the9th-11th century who in popular Italian histories are ranked incorrectlyas national kings. Through his mother he was a grandson of theCarolingian emperor Louis I the Pious. After the fall of the emperor Charles III the Fat, Berengar was electedking of Italy in 888 at Pavia. He acknowledged the overlordship of theEast Frankish king Arnulf, and from early 889 he was confined tonortheastern Italy by Guy of Spoleto (d. 894), who at that time ruled therest of Italy. After the death of Guy's son and successor, Lambert(898), Berengar finally was recognized throughout the kingdom. In 899 Berengar was defeated on the Brenta River by the invadingMagyars. In 900 King Louis of Provence (the future emperor Louis III theBlind) was invited to Italy by a group of nobles antagonistic toBerengar. Louis was crowned king of the Lombards and then, in 901, wasmade emperor by Pope Benedict IV. Within a year Berengar had expelledLouis from Italy. Louis returned, however, and was captured at Verona onJuly 21, 905, blinded, and sent back to Provence. Berengar himself wascrowned emperor by Pope John X in 915. But once again he was challengedby some Italian noblemen, who in 922 called in King Rudolf II ofBurgundy. Rudolf defeated Berengar the next year at Fiorenzuola, nearPiacenza. The following spring Berengar was murdered by one of his ownmen. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1996, BERENGAR I]2

Note Called The Pious (778-840), Holy Roman emperor (814-40), king of France(814-40), king of Germany (814-40), and king of Aquitaine (781-840). Hewas the son of Charlemagne, king of the Franks. In 817 Louis made plansproviding for the posthumous division of the Carolingian Empire among histhree surviving sons, Lothair I, Holy Roman emperor, Louis II, king ofGermany, and Charles II, Holy Roman emperor. His reign, however, wastroubled by quarrels with his sons, who were dissatisfied with hisarrangements for the succession. Louis was physically strong but waseasily influenced and was unequal to administering the large empire thathe inherited from his father. In 781, at age 2, Louis I, 'Le Pieux', was crowned and anointed King ofAquitaine by Pope Hadrian I, at the same time as his older brother Pepinwas made King of Italy. Louis, whose twin brother had died at birth, wasthe third of Charlemagne's sons by his wife Hildegard. The Diviso Regniof 806indicates that Louis was to have Aquitaine as an independentkingdom upon his father's death. Aquitaine was in effect a March; formuch of Louis' reign as sub-king he and his officials were occupied inquelling Gascon revolts and launching offensives into Spain. Unrest hadnever completely died out in the Pyrenees since the annexation ofAquitaine in 768, and more especially after the disastrous ambush of theFrankish vanguard in Roncesvalles in 778. In about 788, Chorso, Duke ofToulouse was captured by a Gascon named Adelric, and then released afterbeing forced to swear an oath of allegiance to the Gascon or Basqueleader. In 793, the Sarracens invaded Septimania, burned the suburbs ofNarbonne and marched on Carcassonne, but in 795 Bahlul-ben-Machluc suedwith Louis for peace. In 800, he successfully laid siege to Barcelona andsubsequently captured Tortosa, Huesca and Pamplona and formed links withthe Kingdom of the Asturias. Baptized: on 15 Apr 781; On 15 April 781,Louis was baptized by Pope Hadrian I in Rome. The next day, EasterSunday, he was confirmed in his title of King of Aquitaine. Married in794: Ermengarde d'Esbay, daughter of Engueran=Ingram, Count d'Esbay. Note - between 800 and 837: Louis I established monasteries in Nouaille(a cell of St. Hilaire of Poitiers), Gellone and St. Martin-de-Tours. After the death of his brothers Pepin and Charles in 810 and 811respectively, Louis was crowned at Aachen on 13 September 813, Emperorand heir to all of Charlemagne's lands, by Charlemagne himself withoutany assistance nor even the presence of the Pope. All sources, Frankishas well as papal, refer to Louis as emperor from then on. Charlemagnedied 5 months later. All of Louis' sisters were required to quit thepalace and retire to their own estates. His cousins, the offsprings ofBernard (Pepin III's half brother) were exhiled: Louis forced Count Walato become a monk at Corbie; Adalhard was exhiled to Noirmoutier to beheld there in custody by the Abbot; Bernhard returned to Lerin andGundrada had to retreat to St. Radegund's convent of Sainte Croix inPoitiers. Only Theodrada was left unmolested as abbess of Notre Dame atSoissons. Louis I was also known as Louis, 'Le Pieux'. On 27 February814, upon learning of the death of his father, and at the age of 36years, he left Doue-la-Fontaine, in Anjou, to go to Aix-la-Chapelle. This new emperor, enterred this capital, and poised himself in front ofthe tomb of Charlemagne. So oversome with grief, his forehead touched thestone floor of the church. Hence the name 'Le Pieux'. Since he was kind,relative to his times, he was also known as 'Le Debonnaire'. For himself,he preferred to adopt the title 'by divine Providence, Emperor Augustus'.When Pope Leo died in May of 816, Stephen IV was elected Pope, andcrowned Louis the Emperor on Sunday 5 October by placing a crown on hishead during mass at Rheims. He also secured the release of some Romanexhiles in Francia. This crowning was among the first attempts tointegrate the Papacy into the institutional framework of the Empire.Louis, 'lest he be led astray in satisfying the natural desires of thebody' married Ermengarde, daughter of Count Ingramn. Charlemagneestablished Doue-la-Fontaine, Chasseneuil (Louis' birthplace), Angeac andEbreuil as royal residences to maintain Louis and his household. At anassembly in Aachen in July 817, Louis made provisions for his sons'inheritance through the 'Ordinatio Imperii'. In his preface he statesthat the unity of the empire preserved for Louis by God should not bedestroyed by men. Lothar was given the title of emperor, and as co-rulerwith his father at once made heir to the empire, and appointed King ofItaly in the event of his father's death. Bernard, then King of Italy wasnot mentioned, but the implication is that Bernard would be subordinateto Lothar should Louis die. Pepin was made King of Aquitaine (plusGascony, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Autun, Avallon and Nevers) and Louis, TheGerman, was made King of Bavaria (plus Carinthia, Bohemia, the lands ofthe Avars and Slavs and the royal manors of Lauterhofen and Ingolstadt).Pepin and Louis were to meet on an annual basis with Lothar to consultand together find 'measures to take in the interest of perpetual peace'.They could neither start a war nor marry without the approval of theirelder brother. Lothar even had the right to de-throne them after threewarnings. That same year, 817, Stephen IV obtains his politicalindependence, thus severing the tie between Rome and the Frank Empire asconceived by Charlemagne. The arrangement was neat and all contingenciescovered except for the one which took place. After his first wife's(Ermengarde) death, Louis, in 819, married the beautiful Bavarian Judith,daughter of Comte Welf of Bavaria. On 13 June 823 she gave birth to ason. He was called Charles. In September, 824, forgetting his nickname'Le Debonnaire', Louis totally ravages the Bretagne which was rebelling.In 829, at the General Assembly convoked in Worms (Wurm), Louis announcesthat he is forging a Duchy for his son, Charles, and gives him Alamania,Alsace, Rhetia, and part of Burgundy. The Co-Emperor Lothar, disagreesand has his name removed from imperial decrees and diplomas. Toward theend of 829, the political scene gets very complicated with allegationsthat Judith had intimate rapports with Bernard, Count of Barcelone, andultimately desiring the death of the three sons of Hirmingarde. In Mai of830, in Compiegne, Lothar and Pepin of Aquitaine lead a revolt. Louis isforced to cede on every point of contention. The apanage of the youngCharles is eliminated, Judith is locked up in Poitiers at the Monasteryof Sainte-Radegonde. In 831, the bishops would note how she had a talentfor converting men's hearts and souls, and would allow her to rejoin herhusband. In 832, Pepin and Louis revolt against their father. On 24 June833, the Army of Louis Le Pieux faces those of the rebels. The field ofbattle in Rothfeld would be named the Field of the Lie (Lugenfeld). TheEmperor and his sons begin negotiations. The night of 29 to 30 June, itis clear that the supporters of Louis would be influenced by his threesons. On the morning of 30 June, Louis would have to surrender. It wouldnot be until 1 October that Louis would be deposed by the Assembly led byAgobard, Archbishop of Lyon and Eblon, Archbishop of Reims. On 7 October,Judith is sent to the Monastery of Tortone, Bernard to Prum, and Louis tothe Monastery of Saint-Medard-de-Soissons, where in public ceremony, heis forced to lay down his sword, stripped of royal vestments, he is madeto don the coarse cloth of a penitent. In 834, Louis and Pepin, tired ofbeing under the control of their brother Lothar, decide to free theirfather. On 28 February, they succeed in freeing their father and inAugust in Blois, Lothar swears to Louis Le Pieux, that he would neverleave Italy except by his direct command. Throughout 834, the Normands --Danes, Swedes and Norwegians -- resume their raids. On 28 February 835,the General Assembly proclaims that Louis was innocent of all previousaccusations thus clearing the way for him to be re-established as Emperoron the Throne at Saint-Stephen of Metz. In 837, thanks to the intercessions of Judith, Charles 'Le Chauve',receives a Kingdom composed of Frisia, between the Seine, the Meuse andthe sea and in September 838, he receives the crown at Quierzy-sur-Oise.In 838, Marseille is devastated by the Sarrasins. On 30 May 839, theEmpire is divided in half, with Lothar taking the East, and Charles'lands extend through Provence, Lyon, Toul and Geneva and all the lands ofthe West. Louis 'the German', gets to keep only Bavaria. Married in 819:Judith de Baviere (3628), daughter of Welf II, Count de Baviere andEgilwich=Heilwig, Abbess de Challes ; Louis married Judith upon the deathof his first wife, Ermengarde. She bore him a son named Charles in 823.It is clear that Louis was as fond of Charles as Jacob was of hisBenjamin. Died: on 22 Jun 840 in Ingelheim, Germany, at age 61 In 840,while attempting to keep Louis 'the German' in line, Louis 'Le Pieux' istaken ill in Salz. Feeling near death, he sends Lothar his sword and thecrown on the condition that he would be loyal to Judith and abide by thelands division agreed to in Worms in 839. He died on an island, nearIngelheim on 22 June. 309. Judith de Baviere (Andre Roux: Scrolls, 191.) (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 130, Line 171-40.)

Born: circa 800 in Altdorf, Bavaria, daughter ofWelf II, Count de Baviere (3626) and Egilwich=Heilwig, Abbess de Challes.

Note* Louis I, byname LOUIS THE PIOUS, or THE DEBONAIR, French LOUIS LE PIEUX,or LE DÉBONNAIRE, German LUDWIG DER FROMME (b. 778, Chasseneuil, nearPoitiers, Aquitaine--d. June 20, 840, Petersaue, Ger.), son of theFrankish ruler Charlemagne; he was crowned as co-emperor in 813 andbecame emperor in 814 on his father's death. Twice deprived of hisauthority by his sons (Lothair, Pepin, Louis, and Charles), he recoveredit each time (830 and 834), but at his death the Carolingian empire wasin disarray. Louis was the fifth child of Charlemagne's second wife, Hildegard theSwabian. From 781 until 814 Louis ruled Aquitaine with some success,though largely through counsellors. When Charlemagne died at Aachen in814 and was succeeded by Louis, by then his only surviving legitimateson, Louis was well experienced in warfare; he was 36, married toIrmengard of Hesbaye, and was the father of three young sons, Lothair,Pepin, and Louis (Louis the German); he had inherited vast lands, whichseemed to be under reasonable control; there was no other claimant to thethrone; and on Sept. 11, 813, shortly before his father's death, Louishad been crowned in Aachen as heir and co-emperor. Louis' first task was to carry out the terms of Charlemagne's will.According to the Frankish chronicler Einhard, Louis did this with greatscrupulousness, although other contemporary sources tell a differentstory. Louis next began to allocate parts of the empire to the variousmembers of his family, and here began the difficulties and disasters thatwere to beset him for the remainder of his life. In August 814 he madeLothair and Pepin nominal kings of Bavaria and Aquitaine. He alsoconfirmed Bernard, the son of his dead brother Pepin, as king of Italy,which position Charlemagne had allowed him to inherit in 813. But whenBernard revolted in 817, Louis had him blinded, and he died as a resultof it. Louis sent his sisters and half sisters to nunneries and later puthis three illegitimate half brothers--Drogo, Hugo, and Theodoric--intomonasteries. At the assembly of Aachen in July 817, he confirmed Pepin in thepossession of Aquitaine and gave Bavaria to Louis the German; Lothair hemade his co-emperor and heir. Charlemagne had been in his 70s and withina few months of death before naming his heir, and for Louis to give suchpremature expectations to a youth of 22 was to ask for trouble. Moreover,Louis did not anticipate that he would become father of another child:the empress Irmengard died in 818; and four months later Louis marriedJudith of Bavaria, who, in June 823, bore him a son, Charles (Charles theBald), to whom the Emperor gave Alemannia in 829. Backed by his two brothers, Lothair rose in revolt and deposed hisfather. The assembly of Nijmegen in October 830, however, restored Louisto the throne; and, the following February, at the assembly of Aachen, ina second partition, Lothair was given Italy. In 832 Louis took Aquitaineaway from Pepin and gave it to Charles. The three brothers revolted asecond time, with the support of Pope Gregory IV, and at a meeting nearSigolsheim, in Alsace, once more deposed their father. In March 834 Louiswas again restored to the throne and made peace with Pepin and with Louisthe German. Later in 834, Lothair rose again, but alone, and had toretreat into Italy. Encouraged by his success, Louis made over moreterritories to his son Charles at the assemblies of Aachen and Nijmegen(837-838)--a move the three brothers accepted but with bad grace. In 839Louis the German revolted but was driven back into Bavaria. Meanwhile, Pepin had died (December 838), and, at the assembly of Worms(May 30, 839), a fourth partition was made, the empire being dividedbetween Lothair and Charles, with Bavaria left in the hands of Louis theGerman. Toward the end of 839 Louis the German marched his troops for thelast time against his father, who once more drove him back. The Emperorcalled an assembly at Worms on July 1, 840. Before it could meet,however, Louis the Pious died at Petersaue, an island in the Rhine nearIngelheim. He was 62 and had ruled for nearly 27 years. He was buried inthe Church of St. Arnulf in Metz by Bishop Drogo, his half brother. The empire he had inherited in peace, Louis left in disarray. He hadengaged in no serious external conflict, although the Danes and othershad continued to make inroads into the empire. From 829 his four sons hadbeen a constant source of disruption; the quarrels among Lothair, Louisthe German, and Charles the Bald were to continue for decades after hisdeath. In many ways Louis seems to have been an estimable person. He waspresumably given the epithet the Pious because of his devoutness, hisliberality to the church, his interest in ecclesiastical affairs, and thegood education he had received. Contemporary historians vary little intheir judgment: the Astronomer of Limousin stresses his continued couragein the face of adversity; Thegan, bishop of Trier, gives a long andadmiring description of his person, his talents, his Christian charity,his devoutness, and his skill as a hunter; and the poem of ErmoldusNigellus is full of adulation. Like his father, Charlemagne, Louis thePious is depicted in several of the chansons de geste of the 12thcentury, notably the Chanson de Guillaume, the Couronnement de Louis, andthe Charroi de Nîmes: he appears as a kindly ruler but a weak andvacillating one.

Note Charles II, King de France (Andre Roux: Scrolls,191.) (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 130, Line 171-39.) (Rosamond, Frankish kingdom under Carolingians, Page 180.) (Paul, Nouveau Larousse Universel.) (Andre Castelot, Histoire de La France, Tome 1, Pages 369, 387). AKA: Charles II, Emperor of the West. AKA: Charles II, King de Bourgogne.AKA: Charles II, King of Italy. Also Known As: Charles 'Le Chauve'. Born: on 13 Jun 823 in Francfort-sur-le-Main, Germany, son of Louis I,King de France and Judith de Baviere , Some sources assert King CharlesII was born in the year 829. Note - between 824 and 875 in France: The birth of Charles II in 823 didnot at first excite jealousy or rivalry among his brothers. In 829,Charles was granted the region of Alemannia, Rhaetia and part ofBurgundy. In 837, his Father Louis I 'Le Debonnaire', by arrangement withLouis the German and Pepin gave Charles the land West of the Meuse,Burgundy, Chartres and Paris together with all the bishops, abbots andcounts who held benefices in these territories. A portion of Neustriawas added in 838, and upon Pepin's death, Louis Le Pieux made CharlesKing of Aquitaine. On 24 July 840, the new Emperor, Lothar, inStrasburg, refuses to support the land claims of Charles (from theagreement of Worms on 30 May 839). The two brothers, Louis and Charles,unite against Lothar and the War of the Three Brothers begins. Meanwhile,on 12 May 841, the Normands ravage Rouen and all the localities along theSeine, increasing their wealth considerably. At Fontenoy-en-Puisaye (24June 841), Charles defeats his brothers Lothar (in spite of the arrivalof the Army of Aquitaine in the Imperial ranks -- and at a total loss of40,000 lives at the battle) and Louis Le Germanique. Charles and Louissigned an alliance on 14 February 842 at Strasbourg. Leaving Strasbourg,the two brothers defeat the imperial army of Lothar just West ofComblence. Lothar leaves Aix-le-Chapelle precipitously, pursued by thetwo brothers. In Mellecey, not far from Chalon-sur-Saone, Lothar proposesa plan to establish perpetual peace which is acceptable to both Louis andCharles. On 15 June, they sign the preliminary peace document. On 1October 842, each of them sends 40 commissioners to Metz to forge theofficial document. Prudence, the Bishop of Troyes, notes that Louisregained Germania in the East, Lothar gets the middle part of the FrancKingdom, including Italy, and Charles obtains the Western lands (West ofthe Rhone, including Soissons). After that Charles goes to the Palace inQuierzy, where he marries Ermentrude. Charles signed the Treaty of Verdun (843) which split the Kingdom ofCharlemagne. By the Treaty, the destiny of Occidental Europe would beheavily influenced to this day. Louis obtains all lands East of theRhine, including the cities of Spire, Worms, Mayence. Lothar gets all thelands extending between the Rhine and the Escaut, the Cambresis, theHainaut, the country of Mezieres, and all the countships neighboring theMeuse, through the Saone and the Rhone, the Artois and Italy. Charles gotall the lands East all the way to Spain. The Kingdom of Charlemagne thuswas split forever, with the most serious rift between the germanic landsof Louis, and the French lands of Charles. The intervening landsextending from Frisia to Rome, from the North Sea to the Mediterraneanincluding what would become Holland, Belgium, Lorraine and Switzerlandwould become a sore point of contention between these two peoples. Theonly thing that mattered to Lothar was the fact that both capitals (Aixand Rome) were located within his territory, thus legitimizing the titleof Emperor. Meanwhile, the Normands pillage Nantes and lower Aquitaine. Charles laidsiege to Toulouse in vain (May to July 844). The Normands led by RagnarLodbrog arrive in Paris and must be heavily bribed to leave. OtherNormand armies ravage Toulouse and Bordeaux (burned to the ground in848). On 6 May 848, Duke Nomenoe proclaims the indepence of the Church ofBretagne and the following year proclaims himself King of Bretagne.Charles fought Brittany (Bretagne) in 845-851 and was victorious. Notliking Pepin II, the people of Aquitaine request Charles' help, and heobliges by accepting the Crown, and on 6 June 848 is consecrated King ofAquitaine, though he could not defend his kingdom against the Normands.He had Charles of Aquitaine jailed (849 in Corbie). In 850 Charlesattacks Bretagne and leaves a garrison in Rennes. No sooner does heleave, that Nomenoe takes the city and then takes Nantes as well. Thenext year, Nomenoe ravages Maine, but, fortunately for Charles, the Kingof Bretagne dies suddenly on 7 March in Vendome. Charles has Pepin IIlocked in the Monastery of Saint-Medard de Soissons in 852. The Normandsunder Godfrid pillage Tours and Angers and penetrate via the Valley ofEscaut all the way to the Seine. The loyalty of Aquitaine shifts in 853,and Louis the German is called upon to help against Charles le Chauve. Hein turn defeats Louis and offers Aquitaine his son by Ermentrude,Charles, who would be crowned sovereign in Limoges in October 855. BothPepin II and Charles d'Aquitaine escape raise armies against Charles leChauve. Charles fought against Louis for Lorraine (859, 870 [Treaty ofMersen] and 875). When Louis le Germanique becomes ill in 869 near Rastisbonne, shortlyafter his nephew Lothar II died, Charles see the opportunity to claim hisheritage as Uncle of the deceased. He has himself annointed King ofLorraine in Metz on 9 September, by the Bishop Hincmar. In March, 867,Charles d'Aquitaine dies, and his father Charles le Chauve is recognizedas King by the Assembly in Pouilly-sur-Loire. Upon the death of hisnephew, Lothar II on 8 August 869, Charles sped to Lotharingia and hadhimself crowned King of Lotharingia annointed on 9 September in thecathedral at Metz by Bishop Adventius of Metz and Archbishop Hincmar ofRheims. In 9 August 870, through the Treaty of Meerseen, Louis 'LeGermanique' and Charles 'Le Chauve' reach an agreeable compromise wherebythey divide the lands of Lothar II between themselves, leaving Louis IIno part of the inheritance. As soon as Louis II died on 12 August 875,Charles rushed to Italy and received the imperial crown and is annointedby Pope John VIII on 25 December 875. In Pavia on 5 January 876, byacclamation of the counts and nobles of Italy, Charles becomes King ofItaly. On 31 January 876, the Archbishop of Milan proclaims Charles asEmperor. The French ecclesiasticals and nobles, having some misgivingsabout Charles' ability to take care of his Kingdom meet in Ponthion.Charles joins them dressed in the attire of the Frankish King. As soon asthey declare him elected and recognize his imperial authority, Charlesdonned the Byzantine crown, and purple vestment of emperor. When Louis leGermanique dies on 28 August 876, Charles claims Lorraine as his own.While on an expedition in Italy against the Sarrasins, through thespecific request of Pope Jean VIII, Charles le Chauve dies at the foot ofMount Cenis. Married on 13 Dec 842 in Quierzy-sur-Oise, Aisne, Ile-de-France, France:Ermentrude d'Orleans , daughter of Odon=Eudes, Count d'Orleans andIngeltrude de Paris; Ermentrude was crowned Queen of France in 866,having already produced a number of children including 6 sons but none ofthem was satisfactory as far as Charles Le Chauve was concerned. BySeptember 866, four of them were dead. Married on 25 Nov 869 in Aix-la-Chapelle, France: Richilde de Bourgogne,daughter of Beuve=Bouin, Comte de Bourgogne and Richilde d'Arles; Thehoneymoon is short-lived, as Louis le Germanique demands, as part of hisheritage from the death of his nephew Lothar II, a part of Lorraine.Died: on 6 Oct 877 in Avrieux, Dauphine, France, at age 54 Charles II isburied at Saint Denis although originally he was buried in Nantua. Beforeexpiring, he named his son, Louis Le Begue as his successor, and theEmpress Richilde, crowned by Pope Jean VIII earlier that year, is chargedwith taking the royal garbs and sword to her step-son.
Note Charles II, byname CHARLES THE BALD, French CHARLES LE CHAUVE, GermanKARL DER KAHLE (b. June 13, 823--d. Oct. 6, 877, Brides-les-Bain, Fr.),king of France (i.e., Francis Occidentalis, the West Frankish kingdom)from 843 to 877 and Western emperor from 875 to 877. (He is reckoned asCharles II both of the Holy Roman Empire and of France.) Son of the emperor Louis I the Pious and his second wife, Judith, Charleswas the unwitting cause of violent discord when, in 829, he was grantedlands by his father; Louis's action precipitated a series of civil wars,lasting until 838, in which the three sons of his first marriage, LothairI, Louis (the German), and Pepin, strove to maintain or to increase therights that they had been guaranteed by the succession settlement of 817,the Ordinatio imperii. Pepin died in 838, but after the death of Louis Iin 840 the civil war resumed. Charles allied himself with his brotherLouis the German to resist the pretensions of the emperor Lothair, andthe two allies conquered him in the bloody battle of Fontenoy-en-Puisaye(June 25, 841). In the following year the two brothers confirmed theiralliance by the celebrated oaths of Strasbourg. The war was brought toan end by the treaty of Verdun (Aug. 843), which gave to Charles the Baldthe kingdom of the western Franks, i.e., all the lands west of a lineroughly following the Scheldt, the Meuse, the Saône, the easternmountains of the Massif Central, and the lower reaches of the Rhône,practically corresponding with what is now France, in addition to theSpanish March as far as the Ebro. Louis the German and Lothair receivedrespectively the lands of the East Franks (Germany) and the middlekingdom, lying between the other two. Until 864 Charles's political situation was precarious because fewvassals were loyal to him. His lands suffered from raids by Northmen, wholeft only after receiving bribes, and he was defeated by the Bretons.During he first years of his reign up to the death of Lothair I. (855)was continued the system of 'confraternal government' of the sons ofLouis the Pious, who had various meetings with one another, at Coblenz[848], at Meersen [851], and at Attigny [854]. In 858 Louis the German invaded the kingdom of Charles. In 860 he in histurn tried to seize the kingdom of his nephew, Charles of Provence, butmet with a repulse. Yet he succeeded in gaining control of Aquitaineafter the capture of Pepin's son in 864. On the death of Lothair II. in869 he tried to seize his dominions, but by the treaty of Meersen [870]with Louis the German, he received western Lorraine. Besides this,Charles had to struggle against the incessant rebellions in Aquitaine,against the Bretons, who inflicted on the king the defeats of Ballon[845] and Juvardeil [851], and especially against the Normans, whodevastated the country in the north of Gaul, the valleys of the Seine andLoire, and even up to the borders of Aquitaine. Charles led variousexpeditions against the invaders, and tried to put a barrier in their wayby having fortified bridges built over all the rivers. In 875, after thedeath of the Lothair's son, the emperor, Louis II., Charles went to Italyand was crowned emperor on December 25 at Pavia by Pope John VIII. ButLouis the German revenged himself for Charles's success by invading anddevastating Charles' dominions. Charles was recalled to Gaul, and afterthe death of Louis the German [Aug. 28, 876], in his turn made an attemptto seize his kingdom, but at Andernach met with a shameful defeat [Oct.8, 876] by Louis's son, Louis the Younger. In the meantime, Pope JohnVIII., who was menaced by the Saracens, was continually urging him tocome to Italy, and Charles again crossed the Alps. At the same timewhile Charles' own major vassals were in revolt, Carloman, son of Louisthe German, entered northern Italy and was marching against Charles.Charles started on his way back to Gaul, and died while crossing the passof the Mont Cenis, Oct. 5 or 6, 877. During Charles's reign some of thesplendors of the Carolingian renaissance were revived, and his closecollaboration with the church enhanced his prestige and authority. Hewas succeeded by his son Louis the Stammerer. [Encyclopædia Britannica,1961 ed., Vol. 5, p. 259, CHARLES II; Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97,CHARLES II]3

Event-Misc M3
Note Louis II, byname LOUIS THE GERMAN, German LUDWIG DER DEUTSCHE (b. c. 804,Aquitaine?, Fr.--d. Aug. 28, 876, Frankfurt), king of the East Franks,who ruled lands from which the German state later evolved, was the thirdson of the emperor Louis I. When the emperor divided his dominionsbetween his sons in 817, Louis received Bavaria and the neighbouringlands, but did not undertake the government until 825, when he began tofight the Slavs on his eastern frontier. In 827 he married Emma,daughter of Welf I., count of Bavaria, and sister of his stepmotherJudith. He interfered in the quarrels arising from Judith's efforts tosecure a kingdom for her own son Charles, and the consequent struggles ofLouis and his brothers with the emperor Louis I. When the elder Louisdied in 840 and his eldest son Lothair claimed the whole Empire, Louis inalliance with his half-brother, king Charles the Bald, defeated Lothairat Fontenoy on June 25, 841. By the Treaty of Verdun (August 843),Charles, Lothair I, and Louis divided the western, middle, and easternparts of the empire, respectively, between them. Louis received the bulkof the lands of the Carolingian empire lying east of the Rhine, includinga district around Speyer, Worms and Mainz, Bavaria, where he madeRegensburg the centre of his government, Thuringia, Franconia and Saxony. Louis may truly be called the founder of the German kingdom, though hisattempts to maintain the unity of the Empire proved futile. In 842 hecrushed a rising in Saxony, compelled the Abotrites to own his authority,and undertook campaigns against the Bohemians, the Moravians, and othertribes. He did not succeed in freeing his shores from the ravages ofDanish pirates. At his instance synods and assemblies were held wherelaws were decreed for the better government of church and state. In 853 a group of nobles opposing Charles the Bald, then king of the WestFranks, appealed to Louis for help; in 854 Louis sent his son Louis theYounger to Aquitaine, and in 858 went west himself to try to deposeCharles. Treachery and desertion in his army, and the loyalty of theAquitanian bishops to Charles, prevented success and Louis renounced hisclaim by a treaty signed at Coblenz on June 7, 860. In 855 the emperor Lothair died, and was succeeded in Italy by his eldestson Louis II, and in the northern part of his kingdom [Lotharingia] byhis second son, Lothair. The weakness of these kingdoms affordedopportunities for intrigue by Louis and Charles the Bald, whose interestwas increased by the fact that both their nephews were without maleissue. Louis support Lothair in his efforts to divorce his wifeTeutberga, for which he received a promise of Alsace, but in 865 Louisand Charles renewed the peace of Coblenz, and doubtless discussed thepossibility of dividing Lothair's kingdom. In 868 at Metz, they agreeddefinitely to a partition; but in 869, Louis was ill, and his armies wereengaged with the Moravians. Although Louis the German supported FrankishCatholic missions in Moravia, he could not maintain control in that areaand lost a war that led to the founding of Greater Moravia, and whenLothair died in 869, Charles the Bald accordingly seized the wholekingdom. Louis invaded Lotharingia (870), and the country was dividedbetween Louis and Charles by the Treaty of Mersen (Meerssen), under whichLouis received Friesland and an extremely large expansion of thisterritory west of the Rhine. Louis in 865 and 872 divided his territories between his sons Carloman,Louis the Younger, and Charles III the Fat. Quarrels and discontent atthe partitions led to revolts by Carloman in 861 and in 863; an examplefollowed by the second son Louis, who in a further rising was joined byhis brother Charles. A report that the emperor Louis II was dead lead topeace between father and sons. The emperor was not dead, however, but aprisoner; and as he was the nephew and son-in-law of Louis, that monarchhoped to secure both the imperial dignity and the Italian kingdom for hisson Carloman. Meeting his daughter Engelberga, the wife of Louis II, atTrent in 872, Louis made an alliance with her against Charles the Bald,and in 874 visited Italy on the same errand. Though Louis II, who diedin August 875, declared (874) in favour of Carloman, eldest son of Louisthe German, as the next emperor, Chalres the Bald reached Italy beforehis rival and, by persuading Carloman to return, had himself crowned byPope John VIII. Meanwhile, Louis the German unsuccessfully attempted toinvade Charles's possessions in Lotharingia. Louis was again preparingfor war against Charles when he died on Sept. 28, 876 at Frankfort. He was in war and peace alike, the most competent of the descendants ofCharlemagne. He obtained for his kingdom a certain degree of securityagainst the Normans, Hungarians, Moravians and others. He lived in closealliance with the Church, to which he was very generous, and supportedits missionary schemes.

Note* From: William Addams Reitwiesner -- wrei@@127.0.0.1. See C. T. Clay, *Early Yorkshire Charters*, vol VIII, appendix A (pp.40-46) for the proof that Gundred, wife of William de Warenne, was not a child of William the Conqueror, or of his wife. She was, instead, a sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester, and possibly a daughter of Gerbod, hereditary advocate of the abbey of St. Bertin at St. Omer. This was published more than seventy years ago, but apparently not everybody has kept up. See the second edition of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*, vol.

  1. England is about to lose one of the last traces of the Emperor Charles I 'the Great'---Charlemagne---for it was he who established the system ofreckoning in pounds, shillings and pence. He will also be remembered asthe white-haired old king in the Song of Roland; but he was neither aneconomist nor the rather feckless character of the Song, being rather oneof the ideal examples in European history of the man of action, a typethat always spells danger. He was born in 742 to Pepin the Short, who was Mayor of the Palace ofChilderic III, the last of an ever degenerating line of Merovingiankings. In 751, with the support of the Pope, Pepin cut off Childeric'slong hair, the mark of his kingship, and sent him to a monastery,arrogating to himself the royal power. He was an active ruler, imposingpeace on his border-lands, and twice descending on Italy to protect thePope from the Lombards, giving to him the duchy of Rome as his own statein the bargain. In 768 Charlemagne and his brother Carloman succeeded to the joint ruleof the Franks, but three years later Carloman died, and Charlemagne ruledsupreme. He was as active as his father in defending and expanding histerritories. In 773, when the Lombards were again putting pressure onthe Pope, he crossed the Alps with astonishing speed and defeated theLombards absolutely, putting their king in a monastery (now a familyhabit) and assuming the 'Iron' Crown of Lombardy himself. He now began a systematic campaign to conquer the Saxons, and ten yearsof the most bitter fighting ensued. The Saxons discovered an able leaderin Widukind, and in 782, managed to wipe out a substantial army ofFranks. Charlemagne had 4,500 Saxons beheaded at Verden in retribution,and went on to celebrate 'The Nativity of Our Lord and Easter as he waswont to do,' says Einhard, his biographer. It took nearly three years tofind Widukind, and he was then baptized---a clear declaration ofsubmission; the rest of the Saxons gave little trouble in taking baptism,or obeying their new Frankish masters---they remembered Verden. A feudal vassal of Charlemagne who should have learned a lesson from thiswas Duke Tassilo of Bavaria, but he preferred to behave as if he wereindependent of his overlord. Charlemagne gave him one chance to reform,but then found that he was plotting with his enemies, so in 788 he toowas put into a monastery, and Bavaria was incorporated into the fastgrowing empire. In Spain he was not so successful: he had been forced to call off hisinvasion in 778, for his troops were needed elsewhere, and anyway theMuslims turned out to be not as disunited as he had been told; it was inthis retreat that Roland died. But in 793 the Muslims attacked over hisborders, so he set up an enclave on the southern side of the Pyrenees toguard the area. He now turned his attention to the Avars, relations of the Huns, wholived in the area of the middle Danube, and were phenomenally rich withtribute-money they had wrung from the Byzantine Emperors. Peacefulnegotiations had failed to keep them from raiding Charlemagne's lands,and so he set out to conquer them. It was as hard a war as that againstthe Saxons, lasting from 791-9, and Charlemagne was wise to distributethe loot he gained from it to his war-weary people instead of keeping itfor himself. Since 476 there had been no Emperor in the West, and until recently thePopes had looked to the Byzantine Emperors for protection. In 800 thePope was set upon and deposed, and Charlemagne had to go do to Rome torestore him. On Christmas Day of that year he was praying in St. Peter'swhen the Pope came up and crowned him as Emperor, taking him 'unawares.'Historians wrangle over the coronation of Charlemagne, and the results oftheir searches read like detective stories. Suffice it to say thatCharlemagne must have known what was going to happen, but he was ratherdisturbed about the whole thing afterwards; possibly he was upset at nothaving the fiat of the Emperor of the East, though a woman was reigningthere at the time, possibly he felt the Pope had arrogated to himself toogreat a part in the coronation. Certainly he kept a very healthy respectfor the Byzantine Empire, though he was not a man to fear another'spower: he had good relations with Haroun-al-Rashid, the Caliph ofBaghdad, who sent him a white elephant, and arranged protection forpilgrims visiting Jerusalem, in the heart of Muslim territory. In a lessexciting area he developed good relations also with the variousAnglo-Saxons states in England; and the first commercial treaty of whichwe have a record in English history is a letter from Charlemagne to Offaof Mercia, then the central Anglo-Saxon state, requesting more shortcloaks, but not as short as the last batch, for when one was forced bythe call of nature to get off one's horse, the cloak turned out to be avery draughty affair. Einhard's biography gives us a fine picture of Charlemagne in the primeof his life: a large pleasant looking man, with rather a weak voice, wholoved all forms of exercise, but excelled in swimming. He wore theordinary dress of his nation, objecting strongly to having to dress inRoman fashion on the two occasions Popes requested it to impress thecitizens of Rome. He ate and drank moderately, but had a passion forroast meat. He loved to hear music and to listen to readings from St.Augustine's City of God; he also delighted in the old songs of hisnation, which his priggish son had destroyed after his death, becausethey were pagan. He plainly respected learning, and loved to besurrounded by learned people, but he probably didn't get very far in hisown learning; he used to keep a copy-book under his pillow (he sufferedfrom insomnia) but he never really learned to write. His palace at Aachen was the Versailles of the ninth century, beautifuland impressive, though it is a typically homely touch that he settled onthis site because the swimming was good there, with natural hot springsto warm the water. The pictorial arts flourished under him, especiallyin the decoration of books, which themselves were written in the fineminuscule hand which was developed in his reign, and was to form thebasis of the Renaissance italic hand. Schools were built up, modelled onthe palace school, which was more of a university in that it served as aplace for distinguished scholars to work, and a training ground for thesons of the nobility. Alcuin was called from England, and Peter of Pisacame, along with the best minds of the age. Monasteries built up hugelibraries, and in their scriptoria multiple copies were made. By thesemeans the riches of literature of the ancient world were preserved forthe modern, and not even the destructive power of the Norsemen couldentirely root out the achievement. Although the full effect of thiseducational revolution was not to be felt until after the death ofCharlemagne, when the whole of Europe began to build great edifices ofstone, and theologians and philosophers dared to reason, this was trulythe Carolingian Renaissance, and owed a tremendous debt to the boundlessvision and enthusiasm of Charlemagne himself. In fact, the cultural influences of the Carolingian state were to outlastby far the state itself. Having conquered territories, Charlemagnetended to do little but install Frankish counts there, introduce hiselementary form of feudalism, and then occasionally add to the legalsystem such laws as were necessary. He sent round groups of 'MissiDominici' to check on the administration of the counts, and held formalassemblies each year, which provided an elementary check on what washappening all over the Empire; but it was only while his dominantpersonality and military might were at the head of the system that itcould work---the whole Empire was ready to spring apart into fragmentswhen this was removed. It lacked the economic organisation necessary forunity, retaining the spirit of self-sufficiency which was the hallmark ofmedieval regionalism. On his death in 814, his son Louis the Pious succeeded, but on his deathin 840 civil war broke out between Louis' sons, and in 843 at Verdun theEmpire was divided between the three of them, one taking the westernstrip, one the eastern and the third taking a central strip right downfrom the Low Countries to half-way down Italy---Germany was to go aseparate way from that of France, the Low Countries and Burgundy were toaim at separate development, and all were to have interest in what becameof the Italian domains. It is possible to place too much emphasis on the decisiveness of thistreaty for the future history of Western Europe, but even so one shouldremember that the year before it was made when the two leaders of Westand East met to make the preliminary arrangements, the one swore his oathin French and the other in German so that their followers couldunderstand them. The popular names for the rulers who followed in the wake of Charlemagnespell out for us the decline from greatness, Louis the Pious, Charles theBald, Louis the Stammerer, Charles the Fat, Charles the Simple. Europewas to be divided, with disastrous results; but nonetheless peopleremembered the achievement of Charlemagne through the long terrible yearsof war and the terrible attacks from the Norsemen. They created thetradition of the Song of Roland, which was only outdone in popularity bythe later re-workings of the predominantly national legends of theGermans and the Celtic lands. Perhaps it was not so bad that Arthurreplaced Charlemagne in the end, for his like did not come to Europeagain until the days of Napoleon.

A son of Charles Martel, Pepin became sole defacto ruler of the Franks in 747 and then, on the deposition of ChildericIII in 751, king of the Franks. He was the first Frankish king to beanointed--first by St. Boniface and later (754) by Pope Stephen II. Background and kingship. For years the Merovingian kings had been unable to prevent power fromslipping from their hands into those of the counts and other magnates.The kings were gradually eclipsed by the mayors of the palace, whosestatus developed from that of officer of the household to regent orviceroy. Among the mayors, a rich family descended from Pepin of Landen(Pepin I) held a position of especial importance. When Charles Martel,the scion of that family, died in 741, he left two sons: the elder,Carloman, mayor of Austrasia, Alemannia, and Thuringia, and Pepin III,mayor of Neustria, Burgundy, and Provence. No king had ruled over allthe Franks since 737, but to maintain the fiction of Merovingiansovereignty, the two mayors gave the crown to Childeric III in 743. Charles had had a third son, however -- Grifo, who had been born to himby a Bavarian woman of high rank, probably his mistress. In 741, whenhis two brothers were declared mayors of the Franks, Grifo rebelled. Heled a number of revolts in subsequent years and was several timesimprisoned. In 753 he was killed amid the Alpine passes on his way tojoin the Lombards, at this time enemies of the Franks as well as of thepapacy. Numerous other rebellions broke out. In 742 men of the Aquitaine andAlemannia were in revolt; in 743 Odilo, duke of Bavaria, led his men intobattle; in 744 the Saxons rebelled, in 745 Aquitaine, and in 746Alemannia, both the latter for the second time. In 747, when Carloman decided to enter monastic life at Rome, a step hehad been considering for years, Pepin became sole ruler of the Franks.But Pepin was ambitious to govern his people as king, not merely asmayor. Like his father, he had courage and resolution; unlike hisfather, he had a strong desire to unite the papacy with the Frankishrealm. In 750 he sent two envoys to Pope Zacharias with a letter asking:'Is it wise to have kings who hold no power of control?' The popeanswered: 'It is better to have a king able to govern. By apostolicauthority I bid that you be crowned King of the Franks.' Childeric IIIwas deposed and sent to a monastery, and Pepin was anointed as king atSoissons in November 751 by Archbishop Boniface and other prelates. Pepin and Pope Stephen II. The pope was in need of aid. Aistulf, king of the Lombards, had seizedRavenna with its lands, known as the exarchate. Soon, Lombard troopsmarched south, surrounded Rome, and prepared to lay siege to its walls.So matters stood when in 752 Zacharias died and Stephen II became pope.In November 753 Pope Stephen made his way over the stormy mountain passesto Frankish territory. He remained in France until the summer of 754,staying at the abbey of Saint-Denis, Paris. There he himself anointedPepin and his sons, Charles and Carloman, as king and heirs of the crown. The pope returned to Italy accompanied by Pepin and his army. A fiercebattle was fought in the Alps against Aistulf and the Lombards. TheLombard king fled back to his capital, Pavia; Pepin and his men plunderedthe land around Pavia until Aistulf promised to restore to papalpossession Ravenna and all the Roman properties claimed by the pope. Aistulf broke his word. Again and again Pope Stephen wrote to Pepin ofhis difficulties. In 756 the Frankish king once more entered Italy.Aistulf was once more constrained to make promises, but the same year hedied--of a fall from his horse--and in April 757 a new king, Desiderius,became ruler of the Lombards. That year Stephen II also died, and Paul Iwas elected pope. He, too, constantly wrote to Pepin asking for help. But the King of the Franks had other concerns. He had to put downrevolts in Saxony in 748 and 753 and a rising in Bavaria in 749. He wascontinually marching against rebellious Aquitaine. In 768 Pepin died atSaint-Denis, on his way back from one of his Aquitainian expeditions. Pepin is remembered not only as the first of the Carolingians but also asa strong supporter of the Roman Church. The papal claims to territory inItaly originated with Pepin's campaigns against Aistulf and the latter'spledge to return the Roman territories. His letters also show himcalling for archbishoprics in Frankish territory, promoting synods ofclergy and layfolk, and as deeply interested in theology. [EncyclopaediaBritannica CD, 1996, PEPIN III]3

Note* Charles MARTEL, Latin CAROLUS MARTELLUS, German KARL MARTELL (b. c.688--d. Oct. 22, 741, Quierzy-sur-Oise, France), mayor of the palace ofAustrasia (the eastern part of the Frankish kingdom) from 715 to 741, whoreunited and ruled the entire Frankish realm and stemmed the Saraceninvasion at Poitiers in 732. His byname, Martel, means 'the hammer.' Aman of valiant determination, ambition, and ability, he stroveincessantly to consolidate his power. Background. After the death of Dagobert I in 639, there had been no king of any worthin the Frankish kingdom. All of them were of the Merovingian line--idle,slothful, and bent on ease and luxury. The burden of rule lay upon themayors of the palace, who in reality governed Austrasia, the eastern partof the Frankish kingdom, and Neustria, its western portion. These mayorsnot only controlled routine in the royal palace but also directed thepolitical, social, and commercial life of the Franks. Neustria bitterlyresented its conquest and annexation in 687 by Pepin of Herstal, mayor ofAustrasia and father of Charles Martel, at the Battle of Tertry (Testry),near Péronne. When in 714 Pepin of Herstal died, he left as heirs three grandsons, hislegitimate children all being dead. Until his grandchildren came of age,Plectrude, Pepin's widow, was to hold power. As an illegitimate son,Charles Martel was entirely neglected in the will. But he was young,strong, and determined, and a struggle for control at once began betweenhim and Plectrude. Both Charles and Plectrude faced rebellion throughout the Frankishkingdom when Pepin's will was made known. The king, Chilperic II, was inthe power of Ragenfrid, mayor of the palace of Neustria, who joinedforces with an enemy of the Franks, Radbod, king of the Frisians inHolland, in order to eliminate Charles. Plectrude managed to imprisonCharles, but he escaped, gathered an army, defeated King Chilperic andMayor Ragenfrid, and conquered the hostile Neustrians. His success maderesistance by Plectrude and the Austrasians useless; realizing the spiritand power of young Charles, they submitted, and by 719 Charles alonegoverned the Franks as mayor. Peace and order reigned in Austrasia andNeustria, so that by 724 Charles was free to deal with hostile elementselsewhere. This involved expeditions against the Saxons and the peoplesof the lands near the Rhine and the Danube. Battle of Poitiers. Charles next crossed the Loire into Aquitaine, where one Eudes (Odo) wasduke. Eudes, once an ally of Charles, had become disloyal and promptlycalled to his aid the Saracens, Moors from Africa, who, entering Spain in711, had soon conquered it and were now (732) threatening Gaul. Led bytheir king, 'Abd ar-Rahman, they marched for Bordeaux, there to burnchurches and to plunder. From Bordeaux they went across Aquitaine toPoitiers. It was outside this city that Charles Martel came upon themand put them to flight. In 733 Charles forced Burgundy to yield to his rule, and in 734 hesubdued the Frisians. During 735 word arrived that Eudes was dead, andCharles marched rapidly across the Loire River in order to make his powerfelt around Bordeaux. In 736 he fought to secure his conquest ofBurgundy, and there were further engagements against the Saracens duringthe 730s. Charles Martel's health began to fail in the late 730s, and in 741 heretired to his palace at Quierzy-sur-Oise, where he died soon after.Before his death he divided the Merovingian kingdom between his twolegitimate sons, Pepin and Carloman. He had maintained the fiction ofMerovingian rule all of his life, refraining from transferring the royaltitle to his own dynasty. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97: CHARLESMARTEL] ---------- Family Archive Disk #100 lists five children, including a Duke Bernard,born 743, died abt 784. I have not included him here for obvious reasons,i.e., he was born two years after the death of his alleged father, KarlMartel, and 19 years after the death of his alleged mother, Rotrou ofAlemania. Also note that Aude of Francia was born abt 740, when her alleged mother,Rotrou of Alemania, is listed as having died in 724. Hmmmmmm? ----------------------3
