Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley, Foundation for Medieval Genealogy LOUIS, son of CHARLES III "le Simple" King of the Franks & his secondwife Eadgifu of England ([10 Sep 920/10 Sep 921]-Reims 10 Sep 954, burReims, Abbaye de Saint-Rémi). Rodulfus Glaber names "Ludowicumfilium…regis Caroli"[356]. After his father was deposed in 923, hismother fled with Louis to England where he was brought up at the courtof Æthelstan King of Wessex. His return to France after the death ofKing Raoul in early 936 was negotiated by Hugues "le Grand" [Capet].He was crowned 19 Jun 936 at Laon by the Archbishop of Reims as LOUISIV "d´Outremer" King of the Franks. He asserted his autonomy fromHugues "le Grand", to whom he awarded the title dux francorum, byestablishing himself with his mother at Laon in 937[357]. His reignwas characterised by constant disputes with his nobles, in particularHugues "le Grand", Héribert II Comte de Vermandois, Arnoul Count ofFlanders and Guillaume "Longuespée" Comte [de Normandie]. Despiteconstant military activity, he only increased the territory directlyheld by the kings of France by the counties of Laon (captured in 938from Héribert II Comte de Vermandois) and Reims. He also temporarilyheld Amiens and Ponthieu. Following a revolt in Lotharingia againstOtto I "der Große" King of Germany, Louis was offered the crown ofLotharingia in 939 by Duke Giselbert. King Otto responded by raidingFrankish territory, allying himself with Hugues "le Grand", HéribertII Comte de Vermandois, Arnoul I Count of Flanders and Guillaume"Longuespée" Comte [de Normandie], and obliged King Louis to renounceLotharingia. Héribert and Hugues besieged Reims, forcing therestoration of Héribert's son as archbishop, and besieged King Louisat Laon. After the murder of Guillaume "Longuespée" Comte [deNormandie], King Louis detained Richard his heir, but was held captivehimself by the people of Rouen after Richard escaped. King Ottolaunched a revenge attack, but was defeated by the Normans. AfterLouis was released by Hugues "le Grand", he was transferred to thecustody of Thibaut Comte de Blois who held him captive for a year in945/46[358]. King Louis died after falling from his horse on his wayfrom Reims to Laon[359]. m (end 939) as her second husband, GERBERGA of Germany, widow ofGISELBERT Graf [im Maasgau] Duke of Lotharingia, daughter of HEINRICHI King of Germany & his second wife Mathilde von Ringelheim[Immedinger] (Nordhausen [913/14]-Reims 5 May 984, bur Abbaye deReims). Liutprand states that the wife of "Gislebertum Lotharingorumducem" was "regis sororem"[360]. Flodoard names her "Gerbergam" whenrecording her second marriage[361]. King Louis married her withoutthe permission of her brother Otto I King of Germany, presumably toincrease his hold on Lotharingia (which had been ruled by her firsthusband). She was active in the defence of Laon in 941 and of Reimsin 946, accompanied her husband on expeditions to Aquitaine in 944 andBurgundy in 949, and was active during his period of imprisonment in945/46[362]. An educated person, she commissioned from Adso ofMoutier-en-Der the De ortu et tempore antichristi[363]. Her husbandgave her the abbey of Notre-Dame de Laon in 951, taken from his motheron her second marriage. Abbess of Notre Dame de Soissons in 959[364]."Gerberga…Francorum regina" donated "alodo…Marsnam in comitatuMasaugo" to Reims Saint-Rémy, confirmed by "comitibus Emmone etAnsfrido", for the souls of "senioris nostri piæ memoriæ Gislebertisuique…patris…et matris Rageneri et Albradæ", by charter dated 10 Feb968, signed by "Arnulfi comitis…Emmonis comitis, Ansfridicomitis…"[365]. The necrology of Reims Saint-Rémi records the death"III Non Feb" of "Gerberga Francorum regina"[366]. King Louis IV & his wife had seven children: 1. LOTHAIRE (Laon end-941-Laon 2 Mar 986, bur ReimsSaint-Rémi). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order)"Hlotharium Karolum Ludovicum et Mathildim" as children of "Hludovicumex regina Gerberga"[367]. Flodoard names "Lotharius puer, filiusLudowici", when recording his accession[368]. He was elected tosucceed his father 12 Nov 954 as LOTHAIRE King of the Franks. - see below. 2. MATHILDE (end-943-26/27 Jan [981/992], bur Vienne,cathédrale Saint-Maurice). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (inorder) "Hlotharium Karolum Ludovicum et Mathildim" as children of"Hludovicum ex regina Gerberga"[369]. The Chronicle of Alberic deTrois-Fontaines records the marriage of "rex FrancorumLotharius…sororem suam Mathildem" and "Conradus rex Burgundie"[370]."Mathilde et Alberada" are named as daughters of "Gerberga" in theContinuator of Flodoard, which specifies that Mathilde was mother of"Rodulfus rex et Mathildis soror eius"[371]. Her brother KingLothaire arranged this marriage to strengthen his position insouth-eastern France. Her dowry consisted of the counties of Lyon andVienne[372]. m ([964]) as his second wife, CONRAD I "le Pacifique"King of Burgundy [Welf], son of RUDOLF II King of Upper Burgundy & hiswife Berta of Swabia ([922/25]-Vienne 19 Oct 993, bur Vienne,cathédrale Saint-Maurice). 3. CHARLES (Laon Jan 945-Rouen before 953). The GenealogicaArnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Hlotharium Karolum Ludovicum etMathildim" as children of "Hludovicum ex regina Gerberga"[373],"Karolum" presumably being the older son of that name as indicated bythe order, who presumably died after 951 which is the earliest date ofthe range during which the Genealogia was compiled[374]. Guillaume deJumièges records that a son of King Louis was given as hostage to theNormans in 945 to secure the release of his father[375], although itis not known whether this son was Charles who would have been a babyat the time, normally too young to have been used as a hostageaccording to then current practice. 4. daughter ([947/early 948]-). Flodoard records that"Chonradus…dux" baptised "filiam Ludowici regis" in the middle of hispassage dealing with 948[376]. She must have been born in theprevious year, or very early in the same year, if the timing of thebirth of King Louis's son Louis is correctly dated to the end of 948. 5. LOUIS ([Dec] 948-Laon 954 before 10 Sep). The GenealogicaArnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Hlotharium Karolum Ludovicum etMathildim" children of "Hludovicum ex regina Gerberga"[377]. Flodoardrecords the birth of "regi Ludowico filius…patris ei nomen imponens"at the end of his passage concerning 948[378]. 6. CHARLES (Laon summer 953-in prison Orléans 12 Jun 991, bur1001 Maastricht, St Servatius). Flodoard records the birth of twinsto "Gerberga regina" in 953 "unus Karolus, alter Heinricus, sedHenricus mox post baptismum defunctus est"[379]. Emperor Otto IIcreated him Duke of Lower Lotharingia in May 977 at Diedenhofen. 7. HENRI (Summer 953-young). Flodoard records the birth oftwins to "Gerberga regina" in 953 "unus Karolus, later Heinricus, sedHenricus mox post baptismum defunctus est"[380]. [356] Rodulfi Glabri, Historiarum I.7, p. 15.
