  • The eldest son Lottell got Italy As the successor of the emperor, he assisted the government.
  • The second son Piping I obtained aquitaine
  • Young child German Louis be assigned to Bavaria
Among them, Lottel, as the eldest son, gained the most important Kingdom of Italy , and upgraded to heir. This made him a leading figure among the Frankish princes, who was below one person and above ten thousand people.

Armed rebellion

However, in 823 AD, this situation was broken: this year, Judith, the new queen of the pious Louis, gave birth to a son, who will become famous in the future Baldy Charlie The pious Louis immediately announced that he would set aside another piece of land for Charlie. This led to his other three sons, Lottel Piping and Germanic Louie's strong dissatisfaction. Therefore, the three openly provoked armed rebellion!

And the Pope Um, I'm not sure King IV also came forward to warn the pious Louis that the religious power must be higher than the imperial power. In desperation, the pious Louis had to abdicate.

In 840 AD, the pious Louis died. According to his will, Lotaire should have succeeded to the throne. But then Charles Baldhead (after Pippin's death in 838, Lottel and German Louis He was elected and recognized as the lord of Aquitaine) and German Louis were both separated from each other. Therefore, if Lottel wants to ensure that Frankish Empire The rule of the whole territory must eliminate these two Military threats In view of this, he decided to attack bald Charlie first.
In this case, bald Charlie decided to unite with German Louis, gather force Jointly fight against Lottel. Lottel also came from empty country. Therefore, on June 25, 841, the two parties signed a contract in Fontenoy en Poisaye (also referred to as "Fontenoy en Poisaye") Fontenoy [1] )The two sides met and fought fiercely. The battle was one of the largest one-day battles in medieval Europe, with more than 150000 troops in both armies. After a day of fighting, the losses of both sides were roughly the same, but the cost was extremely heavy (the casualties of both sides totaled more than 40000 people). The Lotaire army did not support and retreated first. Since then, the full-scale civil war has been out of control.
In the following year, Lottel worked hard with German Louis and Baldy Charlie The two forces are at war. In 842 AD, Germanic Louis and bald Charles published a programmatic document《 Oaths of Strasbourg 》。 He put forward the idea of the East West alliance to defeat Lottel completely. For Lotaire, who ruled the middle of the Frankish Empire, this was fatal: from then on, he would be attacked by both the east and the west.
Then the war lasted another year or so. Until 843 AD, when all three sides were unable to fight again, Lottel, Germanic Louis and bald Charles formed a three part empire《 Treaty of Verdun 》。 In this treaty, Lottel's ruling area is always his base area: central Frankfurt and Italy Since then, he has established Middle Francia This land became modern Italy The rudiment of.
