• Notes

  Louis I "The Pious", Emperor Of The Holy Roman Empire in 814 succeeded his father Charlemagne. In 817, he arranged for the succession after his death by dividing the empire among his three sons. After his first wife died, Louis married again, and a fourth son, Charles, was born. Louis redivided his empire in 829 in order to give Charles a share. The older sons resented the new division and revolted. Louis was removed from the throne in 833, but was restored the next year. The bitter struggle between his sons continued until Louis died. The name Louis means "famous warrier". ---------- Reference: "The World Book Encyclopedia, 1968, L414. "Pedigrees of Some of the Emperor Charlemagne's Descendants", Langston & Buck, 1986, p 197.
