General Notes:
Succeeded his father Louis in 840 until defeat at the battle of Fontenay (841) and the Treaty of Verdun (843) which divided Charlemagne’s empire into three: the East Frankish Kingdom (Germany) under Lewis the German; the West Frankish Kingdom (France) under Charles the Bold; and the rest (Lotharingia) under Lothair. But this peace did not last. The period 840-890 was marked by continued anarchy in the Carolingian domains. [GADD.GED]
