Ben M Angel notes Again if the year is before 962 it is not the Holy Roman Empire and the ruler is not the Holy

Roman Emperor The first Emperor of the entity that later becomes known as the Holy Roman Empire was Otto I

coroneted in 962 This individual precedes him by over a century

References to Holy Roman Empire in secondary sources can be regarded as poorly researched (perhaps from

obsolete documentation suggesting the German Holy Roman Empire to be a continuation of the Carolingian Frankish

Empire - no longer considered to be so) and incorrect

LOUIS I 814-840

LOUIS [Hludowic] son of CHARLES I King of the Franks amp his second wife Hildegard (Chasseneuil-du-Poitou

Vienne [16 AprSep] 778-island in the Rhine near Ingelheim 20 Jun 840 bur Metz eacuteglise abbatiale de Saint-

Arnoul[178])

He is named and his parentage recorded in the Gesta Mettensium which specifies that he was his parents third son born a twin with Hlothar[179]

Crowned King of the Aquitainians in Rome 15 Apr 781 by Pope Hadrian I

His armies occupied Girona Urgel and Cerdanya in 785 and besieged Barcelona 802 establishing the March of Spain[180]

At the partition of territories agreed at Thionville in 806 he was designated sovereign of Aquitaine Gascony Septimania Provence and southern Burgundy His father named him as his successor at Aix-la-Chapelle crowning him as joint emperor 11 Sep 813[181]

On his fathers death he adopted the title Emperor LOUIS I ldquoder Frommele Pieuxrdquo 2 Feb 814 and was crowned at Reims [JulAug] 816 by Pope Stephen IV He did not use the titles king of the Franks or king of Italy so as to emphasise the unity of the empire[182]

He promulgated the Ordinatio Imperii at Worms in 817 which established his eldest son as his heir his younger sons having a subordinate status a decision which was eventually to lead to civil war between his sons His nephew Bernard King of Italy ignored in the Ordinatio Imperii rebelled against his uncle but was defeated and killed After his death Italy was placed under the direct rule of the emperor

Emperor Louis crowned his son Lothaire as joint emperor at Aix-la-Chapelle in Jul 817 his primary status over his brothers being confirmed once more at the Assembly of Nijmegen 1 May 821

In Nov 824 Emperor Louis placed Pope Eugene II under his protection effectively subordinating the papal role to that of the emperor

The birth of his son Charles by his second marriage in 823 worsened relations with his sons by his first marriage the tension being further increased when Emperor Louis invested Charles with Alemannia Rhaeligtia Alsace and part of Burgundy at Worms in Aug 829 reducing the territory of his oldest son Lothaire to Italy His older sons revolted in Mar 830 and captured their father at Compiegravegne forcing him to revert to the 817 constitutional arrangements

However Emperor Louis reasserted his authority at the assemblies of Nijmegen in Oct 830 and Aix-la-Chapelle in Feb 831 depriving Lothaire of the imperial title and relegating him once more to Italy A further revolt of the brothers followed Emperor Louis was defeated and deposed by his sons at Compiegravegne 1 Oct 833 He was exiled to the monastery of Saint-Meacutedard de Soissons

His eldest son Lothaire declared himself sole emperor but was soon overthrown by his brothers Pepin and Louis who freed their father Emperor Louis was crowned once more at Metz 28 Feb 835

He proposed yet another partition of territories in favour of his son Charles at the assembly of Aix-la-Chapelle in 837 implemented at the assembly of Worms 28 May 839 when he installed his sons Lothaire and Charles jointly setting aside the claims of his sons Pepin and Louis This naturally led to revolts by Pepin in Aquitaine and Louis in Germany which their father was in the process of suppressing when he died[183]

Judith was influential with her husband which increased the tensions with the emperors sons by his first marriage

Thegans Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that quondam duce Bernhardo qui erat de stirpe regali was accused of violating Iudith reginam but comments that this was all lies[196]

Judith was exiled to the monastery of Sainte-Croix de Poitiers during the first rebellion of her stepsons in 830 was released in 831 but exiled again to Tortona in Italy in 833 from where she was brought back in Apr 834[197]

9 [daughter

The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that rex Francorum qui et imperator Romanorum (which appears to indicate Charles II le Chauve) gave his sister in marriage to vir nobilissimo genere decoratus that the couple had two sons to whom their uncle gave in Alemannia locahellipPotamum et Brigantium Ubirlingin et Buochorn Ahihusin et Turingen atque Heistirgou Wintirturehellipet in Retia Curiensi Mesouch and that one of the sons returned to France while the other Oudalricus retained all the property in Alamannia[216] The editor of the MGH SS compilation dates this source to the mid-12th century[217]

The information has not been corroborated in any earlier primary source although it is not known what prior documentation may have been available to the compiler of the Casus

There are several other difficulties with this marriage which suggest that the report in the Casus should be treated with caution If the information is accurate it is likely that the bride was a full sister of King Charles although if this is correct her absence from contemporary documentation is surprising If she had been Charless half-sister it is difficult to see how Charles would have had much influence on her marriage which would have been arranged by one of her full brothers

In any case it is unlikely that Emperor Louiss first wife would have had further children after [81215] at the latest given the birth of her eldest son in 795 If that estimated birth date is correct then it is more likely that this daughters marriage would have been arranged by her father Emperor Louis before his death in 840

Another problem is the potential consanguinity between the parties Although the precise relationship between the couples son Udalrich [III] and the earlier Udalrichinger cannot be established from available documentation it is probable that he was closely related to Hildegard first wife of Emperor Charles I who was the paternal grandmother of Emperor Louiss children

Lastly Udalrich [III] is recorded in charters dated 847 and 854 suggesting a birth date in the 820s assuming that he was adult at the time which is inconsistent with Charles II le Chauve (born in 823) having arranged his parents marriage

Flodoard refers to Ludowicus Alpheidi filie sue uxori Begonis comitis[218] The Annales Hildesheimenses name filiam imperatorishellipElpheid as the wife of Bicgo de amici regis when recording the death of her husband[219]

Settipani discusses the debate about the paternity of Alpais preferring the theory that Emperor Charles I was her father[220] If Emperor Louis was her father it is unlikely that she was born before [79394] given his known birth date in 778 It would therefore be chronologically tight for her to have had [three] children by her husband before his death in 816 However no indication has been found in primary sources of the age of these children when their father died The question of Alpaiss paternity is obviously not beyond doubt but it is felt preferable to show her as the possible daughter of Emperor Louis in view of the clear statement in Flodoard

No indication has been found of the name of Alpaiss mother If Alpais was the daughter of Emperor Louis it is likely that she was not her husbands only wife in view of Begos estimated birth date

After her husband died she became abbess of Saint-Pierre-le-Bas at Reims in [817] She was still there 29 May 852

10 ROTHILDIS ([871]-22 Mar 929)

Charles III le Simple King of the West Franks confirmed donations of property in comitatu quoque Cœnomannico made by Hugo comes et mater sua Rothildis at the request of genitrix nostra Adeleidis ethellipcomes Hugo consanguineus necnon ethellipcomes Ecfridus by charter dated 1 Nov 900[263] The charter dated 929 subscribed by Hugonis comitis filii Rotgerii comitis suggests that Rothildis must have been the wife of Roger[264] Flodoard names Rothildis amitaelig suaelig [regis Karoli] socrus autem Hugonis when recording that the king deprived her of abbatiamhellipGolam [Chelles] in favour of his favourite Haganon the context dictating that Hugonis was Hugo filius Rotberti[265]

As the paternal aunt of King Charles III chronology determines that she must have been the daughter of her fathers second marriage although no source has so far been identified which states this to be the case

She acquired the monasteries of Chelles and Notre-Dame and Saint-Jean at Laon She retreated to Chelles in 922 but was deprived of the monastery by her nephew Charles III le Simple King of the West Franks in favour of his favourite Haganon an event which led to the rebellion of Robert Marquis en Neustrie who was the father of Rothildes son-in-law (Hugues later le Grand Duc des Francs)[266]

Her death is dated to late 928early 929 as Flodoard names Rothildishellipnuper defunctaelig when recording that Heribertus et Hugo comites (specifying that Hugo was gener ipsius Rothildis) attacked Bosonem Rodulfi regis frater in 929 over the property of Rothilde[267] This is also the only source so far identified from which her marriage is deduced

The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Preacutes records the death XI Kal Apr of Rothildis abbatisse et monache filia regis magni Karoli[268] The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death XI Kal Mar of Rotildis abbatissa[269] These entries could refer alternatively to Rothildis daughter of Emperor Charlemagne but it is more likely that the former entry would have referred to her father as imperator if that was the case

Dito o Calvo pois tinha os cabelos ralos era filho de Luiacutes I o Piedoso e de Judith da Baviera sua segunda esposa

Depois de seu nascimento seu pai o Imperador quis distribuir seus Estados entre os trecircs filhos que tivera em seu

primeiro casamento e a necessidade de rever essa partilha em funccedilatildeo do menino Carlos dentro da desordem que

resultou a peacutessima situaccedilatildeo poliacutetica da Franccedila depois da usurpaccedilatildeo de Pepino o Breve

Um dos filhos do primeiro casamento de Luiacutes o Piedoso havia morrido e esse doou a Carlos II a Aquitacircnia sem

consultar os demais filhos o que causou a divisatildeo da famiacutelia real Assim depois da morte de seu pai Carlos II se

uniu a Luiacutes o Germacircnico para combater Lotaacuterio I seu irmatildeo mais velho que queria excluiacute-los da partilha e forccedilaacute-los

a reconhecer a sua supremacia poliacutetica

Eles se bateram na batalha de Fontenay uma luta tatildeo sangrenta que os nobres declararam que em virtude dos

acontecimentos doravante natildeo tinham mais nenhum compromisso com seu soberanos pois esses natildeo estavam

agindo em defesa do Estado e que dali em diante os soldados natildeo se reportariam mais diretamente ao monarca

senatildeo a seus senhores que tratavam de consolidar seu regime feudal Como resultado da batalha de Fontenay

ocorrida no dia 25 de junho de 842 o Impeacuterio foi repartido entre os trecircs irmatildeos tendo Carlos II herdado a Franccedila

Alguns anos mais tarde em 869 eles voltaram a se reunir para repartir a heranccedila deixada por Lotaacuterio que falecera

o que envolveu a interferecircncia do Papa Adriano II O Papa escreveu a Carlos II uma mensagem que marcava um

vivo ressentimento por natildeo ter sido escutado na sucessatildeo de Lotaacuterio declarando o Rei como perjuro como vingativo

e como pai desnaturado Carlos rebateu com firmeza declarando que os Reis da Franccedila jamais seriam submissos

ao Papa pois eram esses que deviam submissatildeo ao Rei

Carlos II deixou um uacutenico filho varatildeo que seria conhecido como Luiacutes II o Gago que o sucederia Carlos II o Calvo

morreu no ano de 877

Baviere Some sources assert King Charles II was born in the year 829 9 Note - between 824 and 875 in France The birth of Charles II in 823 did not at first excite jealousy or rivalry

among his brothers In 829 Charles was granted the region of Alemannia Rhaetia and part of Burgundy In 837 his Father Louis I Le Debonnaire by arrangement with Louis the German and Pepin gave Charles the land West of the Meuse Burgundy Chartres and Paris together with all the bishops abbots and counts who held benefices in these territories A portion of Neustria was added in 838 and upon Pepins death Louis Le Pieux made Charles King of Aquitaine On 24 July 840 the new Emperor Lothar in Strasburg refuses to support the land claims of Charles (from the agreement 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 the Seine increasing their wealth considerably At Fontenoy-en-Puisaye (24 June 841) Charles defeats his brothers Lothar (in spite of the arrival of the Army of Aquitaine in the Imperial ranks -- and at a total loss of 40000 lives at the battle) and Louis Le Germanique Charles and Louis signed an alliance on 14 February 842 at Strasbourg Leaving Strasbourg the two brothers defeat the imperial army of Lothar just West of Comblence Lothar leaves Aix-le-Chapelle precipitously pursued by the two brothers In Mellecey not far from Chalon-sur-Saone Lothar proposes a plan to establish perpetual peace which is acceptable to both Louis and Charles On 15 June they sign the preliminary peace document On 1 October 842 each of them sends 40 commissioners to Metz to forge the official document Prudence the Bishop of Troyes notes that Louis regained Germania in the East Lothar gets the middle part of the Franc Kingdom including Italy and Charles obtains the Western lands (West of the Rhone including Soissons) After that Charles goes to the Palace in Quierzy where he marries Ermentrude

10 Note Charles signed the Treaty of Verdun (843) which split the Kingdom of Charlemagne By the Treaty the destiny of Occidental Europe would be heavily influenced to this day Louis obtains all lands East of the Rhine including the cities of Spire Worms Mayence Lothar gets all the lands extending between the Rhine and the Escaut the Cambresis the Hainaut the country of Mezieres and all the countships neighboring the Meuse through the Saone and the Rhone the Artois and Italy Charles got all the lands East all the way to Spain The Kingdom of Charlemagne thus was split forever with the most serious rift between the germanic lands of Louis and the French lands of Charles The intervening lands extending from Frisia to Rome from the North Sea to the Mediterranean including what would become Holland Belgium Lorraine and Switzerland would become a sore point of contention between these two peoples The only thing that mattered to Lothar was the fact that both capitals (Aix and Rome) were located within his territory thus legitimizing the title of Emperor

11 Note Meanwhile the Normands pillage Nantes and lower Aquitaine Charles laid siege to Toulouse in vain (May to July 844) The Normands led by Ragnar Lodbrog arrive in Paris and must be heavily bribed to leave Other Normand armies ravage Toulouse and Bordeaux (burned to the ground in 848) On 6 May 848 Duke Nomenoe proclaims the indepence of the Church of Bretagne and the following year proclaims himself King of Bretagne Charles fought Brittany (Bretagne) in 845-851 and was victorious Not liking Pepin II the people of Aquitaine request Charles help and he obliges by accepting the Crown and on 6 June 848 is consecrated King of Aquitaine though he could not defend his kingdom against the Normands He had Charles of Aquitaine jailed (849 in Corbie) In 850 Charles attacks Bretagne and leaves a garrison in Rennes No sooner does he leave that Nomenoe takes the city and then takes Nantes as well The next year Nomenoe ravages Maine but fortunately for Charles the King of Bretagne dies suddenly on 7 March in Vendome Charles has

Pepin II locked in the Monastery of Saint-Medard de Soissons in 852 The Normands under Godfrid pillage Tours and Angers and penetrate via the Valley of Escaut 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 He in turn defeats Louis and offers Aquitaine his son by Ermentrude Charles who would be crowned sovereign in Limoges in October 855 Both Pepin II and Charles dAquitaine escape raise armies against Charles le Chauve Charles fought against Louis for Lorraine (859 870 [Treaty of Mersen] and 875)

Charles the Bald[1] (13 June 823 ndash 6 October 877) Holy Roman Emperor (875ndash877 as Charles II) and King of West

Francia (840ndash877) was the youngest son of the Emperor Louis the Pious by his second wife Judith

Struggle against his brothers

He was born on 13 June 823 in Frankfurt when his elder brothers were already adults and had been assigned their

own regna or subkingdoms by their father The attempts made by Louis the Pious to assign Charles a subkingdom

first Alemannia and then the country between the Meuse and the Pyrenees (in 832 after the rising of Pepin I of

Aquitaine) were unsuccessful The numerous reconciliations with the rebellious Lothair and Pepin as well as their

brother Louis the German King of Bavaria made Charless share in Aquitaine and Italy only temporary but his father

did not give up and made Charles the heir of the entire land which was once Gaul and would eventually be France At

a diet near Creacutemieux in 837 Louis the Pious bade the nobles do homage to Charles as his heir This led to the final

rising of his sons against him and Pepin of Aquitaine died in 838 whereupon Charles received that kingdom finally

once and for all Pepins son Pepin II would be a perpetual thorn in his side

The death of the emperor in 840 led to the outbreak of war between his sons Charles allied himself with his brother

Louis the German to resist the pretensions of the new emperor Lothair I and the two allies defeated Lothair at the

Battle of Fontenay-en-Puisaye on June 25 841 In the following year the two brothers confirmed their alliance by the

celebrated Oaths of Strasbourg The war was brought to an end by the Treaty of Verdun in August 843 The

settlement gave Charles the Bald the kingdom of the West Franks which he had been up till then governing and

which practically corresponded with what is now France as far as the Meuse the Saocircne and the Rhocircne with the

addition of the Spanish March as far as the Ebro Louis received the eastern part of the Carolingian Empire known

as the East Francia and later Germany Lothair retained the imperial title and the Iron Crown of Lombardy He also

received the central regions from Flanders through the Rhineland and Burgundy as king of Middle Francia

Reign in the West

The first years of Charless reign up to the death of Lothair I in 855 were comparatively peaceful During these years

the three brothers continued the system of confraternal government meeting repeatedly with one another at

Koblenz (848) at Meerssen (851) and at Attigny (854) In 858 Louis the German invited by disaffected nobles eager

to oust Charles invaded the West Frankish kingdom Charles was so unpopular that he was unable to summon an

army and he fled to Burgundy He was saved only by the support of the bishops who refused to crown Louis king

and by the fidelity of the Welfs who were related to his mother Judith In 860 he in his turn tried to seize the

kingdom of his nephew Charles of Provence but was repulsed On the death of his nephew Lothair II in 869 Charles

tried to seize Lothairs dominions but by the Treaty of Mersen (870) was compelled to share them with Louis the

German

Besides these family disputes Charles had to struggle against repeated rebellions in Aquitaine and against the

Bretons Led by their chiefs Nomenoeuml and Erispoeuml who defeated the king at Ballon (845) and Juvardeil (851) the

Bretons were successful in obtaining a de facto independence Charles also fought against the Vikings who

devastated the country of the north the valleys of the Seine and Loire and even up to the borders of Aquitaine

Several times Charles was forced to purchase their retreat at a heavy price Charles led various expeditions against

the invaders and by the Edict of Pistres of 864 made the army more mobile by providing for a cavalry element the

predecessor of the French chivalry so famous during the next 600 years By the same edict he ordered fortified

bridges to be put up at all rivers to block the Viking incursions Two of these bridges at Paris saved the city during its

siege of 885ndash886

Reign as emperor

In 875 after the death of the Emperor Louis II (son of his half-brother Lothair) Charles the Bald supported by Pope

John VIII traveled to Italy receiving the royal crown at Pavia and the imperial insignia in Rome on December 29

Louis the German also a candidate for the succession of Louis II revenged himself by invading and devastating

Charles dominions and Charles had to return hastily to Francia After the death of Louis the German (28 August

876) Charles in his turn attempted to seize Louiss kingdom but was decisively beaten at Andernach on October 8

876 In the meantime John VIII menaced by the Saracens was urging Charles to come to his defence in Italy

Charles again crossed the Alps but this expedition was received with little enthusiasm by the nobles and even by his

regent in Lombardy Boso and they refused to join his army At the same time Carloman son of Louis the German

entered northern Italy Charles ill and in great distress started on his way back to Gaul but died while crossing the

pass of Mont Cenis at Brides-les-Bain on 6 October 877

According to the Annals of St-Bertin Charles was hastily buried at the abbey of Nantua Burgundy because the

bearers were unable to withstand the stench of his decaying body He was to have been buried in the Basilique Saint-

Denis and may have been transferred there later It was recorded that there was a memorial brass there that was

melted down at the Revolution

Charles was succeeded by his son Louis Charles was a prince of education and letters a friend of the church and

conscious of the support he could find in the episcopate against his unruly nobles for he chose his councillors from

among the higher clergy as in the case of Guenelon of Sens who betrayed him and of Hincmar of Reims

Baldness

It has been suggested that Charles was not in fact bald but that his epithet was applied ironicallymdashthat in fact he

was extremely hairy In support of this idea is the fact that none of his enemies commented on what would be an

easy target However none of the voluble members of his court comments on his being hairy and the Genealogy of

Frankish Kings a text from Fontanelle dating from possibly as early as 869 and a text without a trace of irony names

him as Karolus Caluus (Charles the Bald) Certainly by the end of the 10th century Richier of Reims and Adhemar

of Chabannes refer to him in all seriousness as Charles the Bald[2]

An alternative or additional interpretation is based on Charles initial lack of a regnum Bald would in this case be a

tongue-in-cheek reference to his landlessness at an age where his brothers already had been sub-kings for some

years[3]

Emperor Charles (empereur auguste) was King of West Francia (from 842) and was Holy Roman Emperor (from 875)

He was also known as ldquoCharles the Baldrdquo (or Charles le Chauve or Karl der Kahl) not because of any lack of hair but

rather because of his temporarily empty inheritance

He was the brother of Princess Gisela of France and the half-brother (and first cousin ) of both Holy Roman

Emperor Lothair I and of Hildegard--all of whom are our ancestors as well

Charles received homage as heir in 837 from the nobles (at his fatherrsquos insistence)

After a 2-year civil war (840-842) Charles was recognized as ruling the Kingdom of West Francia

He was forced to flee to Burgundy in 858 but was able to return He was forced to suppress numerous rebellions and

to pay heavy tribute to invading Vikings

Charles was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 875 by Pope John VIII

His first marriage was in 842 to our ancestor Ermentrude of Orleacuteans by whom he sired our ancestors Judith of

Flanders Hersent of France and King Louis II of France

Charles was widowered in 869 then in 870 he married our ancestor Richilde of Provence by whom he sired our

ancestor Rothildis des Francs Occidental

King Of Neustria Between 843 and 877 Charles II of The FRANKS Between 875 and 877 Nickname The Bald

Charles the Bald[1] (13 June 823 ndash 6 October 877) Holy Roman Emperor (875ndash877 as Charles II) and King of West Francia (840ndash877 as Charles II with the borders of his land defined by the Treaty of Verdun 843) was the youngest son of the Emperor Louis the Pious by his second wife Judith








rising of his sons against him Pepin of Aquitaine died in 838 whereupon Charles at last received that kingdom

although Pepins son Pepin II would be a perpetual thorn in his side



Battle of Fontenay-en-Puisaye on 25 June 841 In the following year the two brothers confirmed their alliance by the





as the East Francia and later Germany Lothair retained the imperial title and the kingdom of Italy He also received

the central regions from Flanders through the Rhineland and Burgundy as king of Middle Francia





army and he fled to Burgundy He was saved only by the support of the bishops who refused to crown Louis the

German king and by the fidelity of the Welfs who were related to his mother Judith In 860 he in his turn tried to

seize the kingdom of his nephew Charles of Provence but was repulsed On the death of his nephew Lothair II in

869 Charles tried to seize Lothairs dominions but by the Treaty of Mersen (870) was compelled to share them with

Louis the German


Bretons Led by their chiefs Nomenoeuml and Erispoeuml who defeated the king at the Battle of Ballon (845) and the Battle

of Jengland (851) the Bretons were successful in obtaining a de facto independence Charles also fought against the

Vikings who devastated the country of the north the valleys of the Seine and Loire and even up to the borders of

Aquitaine Several times Charles was forced to purchase their retreat at a heavy price Charles led various

expeditions against the invaders and by the Edict of Pistres of 864 made the army more mobile by providing for a

cavalry element the predecessor of the French chivalry so famous during the next 600 years By the same edict he

ordered fortified bridges to be put up at all rivers to block the Viking incursions Two of these bridges at Paris saved

the city during its siege of 885ndash886


John VIII traveled to Italy receiving the royal crown at Pavia and the imperial insignia in Rome on 29 December



876) Charles in his turn attempted to seize Louiss kingdom but was decisively beaten at Andernach on 8 October

876

In the meantime John VIII menaced by the Saracens was urging Charles to come to his defence in Italy Charles

again crossed the Alps but this expedition was received with little enthusiasm by the nobles and even by his regent

in Lombardy Boso and they refused to join his army At the same time Carloman son of Louis the German entered

northern Italy Charles ill and in great distress started on his way back to Gaul but died while crossing the pass of

Mont Cenis at Brides-les-Bains on 6 October 877








It has been suggested that Charles nickname was used ironically and not descriptively ie that he was not in fact

bald but rather that he was extremely hairy[2] In support of this idea is the fact that none of his enemies commented

on what would be an easy target However none of the voluble members of his court comments on his being hairy

and the Genealogy of Frankish Kings a text from Fontanelle dating from possibly as early as 869 and a text without

a trace of irony names him as Karolus Caluus (Charles the Bald) Certainly by the end of the 10th century Richier

of Reims and Adhemar of Chabannes refer to him in all seriousness as Charles the Bald[3]
