Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley, Foundation for Medieval Genealogy LOUIS, son of CHARLES II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks & hisfirst wife Ermentrudis [d'Orléans] (1 Nov 846-Compiègne 11 Apr 879,bur Compiègne, église collégiale Saint-Corneille). The GenealogicaArnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Hludovicum Karolum Karlomannum etHlotharium" as the four sons of "Karolus imperator…ex Hyrmentrudiregina"[275]. His father awarded him the duchy of Mans and part ofNeustria and arranged his betrothal in Feb 856, from which time heseems to have received the title king. He was expelled from Brittanyafter the rebellion which followed the murder of King Erispoé, andsought refuge with his father. He was suspected of having helped hissister Judith elope with Comte Baudouin and was obliged to flee in861. He revolted against his father in 862, the revolt beinginstigated by the Rorgonid family[276]. He was pardoned by hisfather, given the county of Meaux in 862, and entrusted with thegovernorship of the whole of Neustria with the title king in 865. Thelatter appointment was removed from him in the following year[277].His father invested him as Comte d'Autun in 866. He was installed asKing of Aquitaine in Mar 867, following the death of his brotherCharles[278]. He succeeded his father in 877 as LOUIS II "le Bègue"King of the West Franks, and LUDWIG III King of West Lotharingia,crowned at Compiègne 8 Dec 877 and at Troyes 7 Sep 878 by Pope JohnVIII. The Gesta Francorum records the death "879 III Id Apr…apudCompendium…palatium" of "Hludowicus Karoli regis filius" and hisburial in the same place[279]. The Annales Fuldenses record the death"879 III Id Apr apud Compendium" of "Hludowicus, Karoli regis filius"and his burial in the same place[280]. The necrology of the abbey ofSaint-Denis records the death "III Id Apr" of "Ludovicus rex"[281]. Betrothed (Feb 856, contract broken end 857) to ---[de Bretagne],daughter of ERISPOE King of Brittany & his wife ---. The AnnalesBertiniani record the betrothal of "Respogio Brittone…filiam eius" and"Karlus rex…filio suo Ludoico" in early 856[282]. m firstly (Mar 862, repudiated [876/77]) ANSGARDIS, daughter of comteHARDUIN & his wife --- (-2 Nov [880/82]). The Annales Bertinianirecord the marriage in 862 of "Hludowicus frater Karoli [regisAquitannorum, Karoli regis filius]" and "filiamHarduini…sororem…Odonis", against the will of his father[283]. Reginonames "Ansgard" wife of "Hludowicus rex filius Caroli" without givingher origin, specifying that they married without the consent of hisfather who obliged his son to repudiate his wife[284]. The necrologyof Reims Cathedral records the death "IV Non Nov" of "Ansgardisregina"[285]. m secondly ([875][286]) ADELAIS, daughter of ADALHARD Comte Palatin[Angoulême] & his wife --- ([855/60]-18 Nov [901], bur Compiègne,église abbatiale Saint-Corneille). Regino names "Adalheidis" secondwife of "Hludowicus rex filius Caroli", married after he repudiatedhis first wife[287]. Her paternity is indicated by Wulfhard (whowould have been the brother of Adelais) being named sororius of KingLouis II[288]. Her marriage was not recognised by the church whichdid not accept her husband's separation from his first wife. The Poperefused to crown her with her husband at Troyes 878, considering thatshe was not his legitimate wife[289]. Her children were consideredillegitimate by the church. King Louis II & his first wife had five children: 1. LOUIS ([863/65]-Saint Denis 5 Aug 882, bur église del'abbaye royale de Saint-Denis). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitisnames (in order) "Hludovicum et Karlomannum et Hildegardim" as thechildren of "Hlodovicus rex…ex Ansgardi vocata regina"[290]. Hesucceeded his father in 879 as LOUIS III King of the West Franks.This was challenged by Ludwig III King of the East Franks, whowithdrew after receiving compensation[291]. He was crowned with hisbrother Carloman in Sep 879 at the Abbaye de Ferrières-en-Gâtinais.Ludwig III recognised his cousins' sovereignty by the Treaty ofRibemont in Feb 880. Louis III and Carloman agreed a division oftheir territories at Amiens in Mar 880, Louis receiving the northernpart of the kingdom, Francia and Neustria. He fell from his horse atTours, dying soon afterwards[292]. The Obituaire de Notre-Dame deParis records the death "Non Aug" of "Ludovicus rex Francie"[293].The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death"Non Aug" of "Ludovici regis"[294]. 2. GISELA (-[11 Apr 879/12 Dec 884]). King Carloman donatedproperty "in comitatu Trecassino, in curtem Argenteam mansum unum, deClariaco…" to Montièramey, at the request of "fidelis noster Rotbertuscomes", for the soul of "Gislæ sororis nostræ eiusque uxoris", bycharter dated to [11 Apr 879/12 Dec 884], the original of which islost[295]. Gisela was the daughter of King Louis's first marriageaccording to Rösch[296]. Jackman[297] maintains that she must havebeen the daughter of his second marriage to avoid her being the firstcousin of her husband, although this would mean that she was a childbride. However, he is presumably assuming co-identity between Eudes,brother of Ansgardis, and Eudes Comte de Troyes, father of ComteRobert, which does not appear to be correct. m ROBERT Comte Palatinde Troyes, son of EUDES Comte de Châteaudun, later Comte de Troyes &his wife Wandilmodis --- (-killed in battle Troyes Feb 886). 3. CARLOMAN ([866/68]-killed accidentally Bézu-la-Forêt, nearAndelys, Eure 6 Dec 884, bur église de l'abbaye royale deSaint-Denis). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order)"Hludovicum et Karlomannum et Hildegardim" as the children of"Hlodovicus rex…ex Ansgardi vocata regina"[298]. He was crowned withhis brother Louis III in Sep 879 at the Abbaye deFerrières-en-Gâtinais. Louis III and Carloman agreed a division oftheir territories at Amiens in Mar 880, Carloman receiving thesouthern part of the kingdom, Aquitaine and Burgundy[299].“Carlomannus…Rex” restored property “villam Taniacum” to the church ofAutun, at the request of “Richardi Comiti Augustodensis”, by charterdated 1 Dec 880, the text ending with “Theodoricus Comesambasciavit”[300]. He succeeded his brother in 882 as CARLOMAN Kingof the West Franks. On his death, Emperor Charles III "le Gros" wasproclaimed King of the West Franks. The Annales Vedastini record that"rex…in Basiu silva" was injured in the leg by "quidam a suis,Bertoldus" while hunting in 884, and died in the same place seven dayslater "Id Dec" aged about 18, and was buried "in monasterium sanctiDionysii"[301]. The Annales S. Benigni Divisionensis record the death"Non Dec 884" of "Karlomannus rex"[302]. The necrology of ArgenteuilPriory records the death "VIII Id Dec" of "Karlomannus rex"[303].Betrothed (11 Sep 878) to [ENGELBERGA], daughter of BOSO Comte deVienne [later King] & his wife Ermengardis of Italy. The AnnalesBertiniani record the betrothal in 878 of "filiam Bosonis" and"Karlomanno filio suo [=Hlodowici rex]"[304]. It is assumed that thisdaughter was Engelberga, who was an infant at the time, but no proofhas been found which confirms that this is the case. "Bosonis" couldrefer either to the future King Boson or to Count Boson, husband ofthe adulterous Engiltrudis. While Boson of Provence had refused toswear allegiance to Louis II "le Bègue" King of the West Franks("Hlodowici rex") on the latter's accession, it is not known whetherhe was still in rebellion the following year. Assuming that somereconciliation had taken place, a marriage alliance between the twoparties would have been a likely possibility. The other Count Bosonwas presumably of less political importance and, in addition, hisproblems with his adulterous wife may have rendered his daughtersunmarriageable at the time. 4. HILDEGARD (-after 896). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitisnames (in order) "Hludovicum et Karlomannum et Hildegardim" as thechildren of "Hlodovicus rex…ex Ansgardi vocata regina"[305]. King Louis II & his second wife had two children: 5. ERMENTRUD ([875/78][306]-). The Genealogica ArnulfiComitis names (in order) "Karolum quoque postumum et Irmintrudim" aschildren of "Hlodovicus rex…ex Adelheidi regina"[307]. According toSettipani, Ermentrudis was the daughter of King Louis by his firstmarriage[308], although he cites no primary source on which this isbased. It is certainly correct that the chronology is tight forErmentrud to have been the daughter of her father's second marriage,assuming that the affiliation of her supposed daughter Kunegund iscorrect as shown here. m ---. Nothing is known about the husband ofErmentrud. Ermentrud & her husband had one child: a) CUNIGONDE ([895/905]-). The mother of Siegfried Count ofLuxembourg is named "Cynigund", daughter of "Irmindrud" daughter ofLouis II "le Bègue" King of the West Franks, in an 11th centurygenealogy which traces the ancestry of Siegfried's daughter EmpressKunigund[309]. Although this genealogy provides no sources on whichit is based, other details are corroborated by primary source data.This older Cunigonde has traditionally been associated with the wifeof Wigerich [III], for example in Rösch[310]. This is allegedlysupported by a reference in one of Gerbert's letters to Siegfriedbeing patruus of the Wigerich's grandson Gozelo[311], but thechronology suggests that it is unlikely that Siegfried could have beenthe son either of Wigerich or of his wife's second husband Richwin, asexplained in the document LUXEMBOURG. It is therefore assumed thatpatruus in this source should be interpreted more broadly to indicatea more remote relationship in the previous generation, thatSiegfried's father was an otherwise unrecorded brother of Wigerich[III], and that Cunigonde, wife of Wigerich [III], was not the sameperson as Cunigonde, mother of Siegfried. m [---, brother of WIGERICH[III], son of ---.] 6. CHARLES (posthumously 17 Sep 879-Péronne 7 Oct 929, burPéronne St Fursy). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order)"Karolum quoque postumum et Irmintrudim" as children of "Hlodovicusrex…ex Adelheidi regina"[312]. He was crowned 28 Jan 893 at Reims asCHARLES III "le Simple" King of the West Franks, as anti-king toEudes, sole king from 1 Jan 898.
