Information: - The Treaty of Verdun, signed in August 843, was the first of the treaties that divided the Carolingian Empire into three kingdoms among the three surviving sons of Louis the Pious, the son and successor of Charlemagne. The treaty signed in Verdun-sur-Meuse ended the three-year Carolingian Civil War. - The Carolingian Empire (800888) was a large empire in western and central Europe during the early Middle Ages. It was ruled by the Carolingian dynasty, which had ruled as kings of the Franks since 751 and as kings of the Lombards of Italy from 774. In 800, the Frankish king Charlemagne was crowned emperor in Rome by Pope Leo III in an effort to revive the Roman Empire in the west during a vacancy in the throne of the eastern Roman Empire. After a civil war (84043) following the death of Emperor Louis the Pious, the empire was divided into autonomous kingdoms, with one king still recognised as emperor, but with little authority outside his own kingdom. The unity of the empire and the hereditary right of the Carolingians continued to be acknowledged. - Charles the Bald (13 June 823 6 October 877) was the King of West Francia (84377), King of Italy (87577) and Holy Roman Emperor (87577, as CharlesII). After a series of civil wars during the reign of his father, Louis the Pious, Charles succeeded by the Treaty of Verdun (843) in acquiring the western third of the Carolingian Empire. He was a grandson of Charlemagne and the youngest son of Louis the Pious by his second wife, Judith. - Louis the Stammerer ( French : Louis le Begue ) ( 1 November 846 -- 10 April 879 ) was the King of Aquitaine and later King of West Francia . He was the eldest son of Charles the Bald and Ermentrude of Orleans . During the peace negotiations between his father and Erispoe of Brittany , Louis was betrothed to an unnamed daughter of Erispoe in 856 . It is not known if this was the same daughter who later married Gurivant . The contract was broken in 857 upon Erispoe 's murder . He succeeded his younger brother in Aquitaine in 866 and his father in West Francia in 877 , though he was never crowned Emperor . In the French monarchial system , he is considered Louis II. Twice married , he and his first wife , Ansgarde of Burgundy , had two sons : Louis ( born in 863 ) and Carloman ( born in 866 ) , both of whom became kings of France , and two daughters : Hildegarde ( born in 864 ) and Gisela ( 865 -- 884 ) . With his second wife , Adelaide of Paris , he had one daughter , Ermentrude ( 875 -- 914 ) and a posthumous son , Charles the Simple , who would become , long after his elder brothers ' deaths , king of France . He was crowned on 8 October 877 by Hincmar , archbishop of Reims , at Compiegne and was crowned a second time in September 878 by Pope John VIII at Troyes while the pope was attending a council there . The pope may even have offered the imperial crown , but it was declined . Louis the Stammerer was said to be physically weak and outlived his father by only two years . He had relatively little impact on politics . He was described '' a simple and sweet man , a lover of peace , justice , and religion '' . In 878 , he gave the counties of Barcelona , Girona , and Besalu to Wilfred the Hairy . His final act was to march against the Vikings who were then the scourge of Europe . He fell ill and died on 9 April or 10 April 879 not long after beginning his final campaign . On his death , his realms were divided between his two sons , Carloman and Louis .
