Charles the Fat
Charles III (13 June 839 – 13 January 888), also known as Charles the Fat, was the emperor of the Carolingian Empire from 881 to 888.
A member of the Carolingian dynasty, Charles was the youngest son of Louis the German and Hemma, and a great-grandson of Charlemagne.
He was the last Carolingian emperor of legitimate birth and the last to rule over all the realms of the Franks.
Over his lifetime, Charles became ruler of the various kingdoms of Charlemagne's former empire.
Granted lordship over Alamannia in 876, following the division of East Francia, he succeeded to the Italian throne upon the abdication of his older brother Carloman of Bavaria who had been incapacitated by a stroke.
Crowned Emperor in 881 by Pope John VIII, his succession to the territories of his brother Louis the Younger (Saxony and Bavaria)
the following year reunited the kingdom of East Francia.
Upon the death of his cousin Carloman II in 884, he inherited all of West Francia, thus reuniting the entire Carolingian Empire.
Usually considered lethargic and inept—he is known to have had repeated illnesses and is believed to have suffered from epilepsy—he twice purchased peace with Viking raiders, including at the infamous Siege of Paris (885–886) which led to his downfall.
The reunited empire did not last.
During a coup led by his nephew Arnulf of Carinthia in November 887, Charles was deposed in East Francia, Lotharingia, and Kingdom of Italy.
Forced into quiet retirement, he died of natural causes in January 888, just a few weeks after his deposition.
The Empire quickly fell apart after his death, splintering into five separate successor kingdoms; the territory it had occupied was not entirely reunited under one ruler until the conquests of Napoleon.

Bernard (son of Charles the Fat)
Bernard or Bernhard (c. 870 – 891/2) was the only child of Emperor Charles the Fat.
He was born of an unknown concubine and was thus considered illegitimate.
Charles tried to make him his heir, but failed in two attempts.
Charles tried to have Bernard recognised as his heir in 885, but met the opposition of several bishops.
He had the support of Pope Adrian III, whom he invited to an assembly in Worms in October 885, but who died on the way, just after crossing the river Po.
Hadrian was going to depose the obstructing bishops, as Charles doubted he could do this himself, and legitimise Bernard.
Based on the unfavouring attitude of the chronicler of the Mainz continuation of the "Annales Fuldenses", the chief of Charles' opponents in the matter was probably Liutbert, Archbishop of Mainz.
Because Charles had called together the "bishops and counts of Gaul" as well as the pope to meet him at Worms, it seems likely that he planned to make Bernard King of Lotharingia.
Notker the Stammerer, who considered Bernard as a possible heir, wrote in his "Deeds of CharlemagneI will not tell you [Charles the Fat] of this [the Viking sack of the Abbey of Prüm] until I see your little son Bernard with a sword girt to his thigh."
Perhaps Notker was awaiting Bernard's kingship, when Prüm would be avenged.
After the failure of his first attempt, Charles set about to try again, apparently having given up on having any legitimate children with his wife, Richardis.
He had the term "proles" (offspring) inserted into his charters as it had not been in previous years, probably because he desired to legitimise Bernard.
In early 886, Charles met the new Pope, Stephen V, and probably negotiated for the recognition of his son as his heir.
When Stephen cancelled a planned meeting at Waiblingen on 30 April 887, Charles probably abandoned his plans for Bernard and instead adopted Louis of Provence as his son at Kirchen in May.
It is possible, however, that the agreement with Louis was only designed to engender support for Bernard's subkingship in Lotharingia.
After his father's death, Bernard became the focus of revolt for some Alemannian magnates.
In 890, he rebelled against Arnulf of Carinthia and prevented the king from going into Italy as requested by Pope Stephen V. Bernard had the support of Count Ulrich of the Linzgau and Argengau and Bernard, Abbot of Saint Gall.
Probably, he fled Alemannia for Italy and the protection of Arnulf's rival, King Guy, as recorded by the late medieval historian Gobelinus, who may have had a lost Carolingian work as his source.
By the winter of 891/2, Bernard had returned to Alemannia.
The revolt was finally put down by Solomon III, Bishop of Constance, and Hatto, Abbot of Reichenau.
Arnulf entered Alemannia in the summer to redistribute lands.
Bernard was killed by Rudolf, Duke of Rhaetia, and only then did the unrest in Alemannia cease.
These events are not mentioned in the main East Frankish source, the "Annals of Fulda", rather they come from brief notices in the "Annales Alamannici" and "Annales Laubacenses", which record that in 890, "Bernard, Charles's son, barely escaped the net", and in 891 (which possibly should be 892), he "was killed by Rudolf", without specifying who Rudolf was.
