Historical background


LOUIS THE GERMAN

(840-876)

Louis, the third son of Louis the Pious and Ermengarde, failed to get along with his brother Lothaire and his half-brother Charles when their father died. At the Treaty of Verdun in 843, he received Germania as a share. On the death of Louis, his inheritance passed for a short time into the hands of Charles II the Bald. For the first time, the fiction of a unitary empire was restored, but only for a few months. Charles died the following year.
