• Notes

  Charles III, "The Simple" King Of The Franks became king in 893. He recognized the Norsemen's conquest of Normandy, but added to his territory by seizing Lorraine. The mistakes of the previous kings were too costly, however. The nobles had been allowed to gain power, and they deposed Charles in 923. ---------- Reference: "The World Book Encyclopedia", 1968, p C293.
