Bookmark this page

Lois abandons reform, gives part of Lothar’s kingdom to Charles, more power to his wife Judith and family – changes and reaction brought underlying instability of Frankish politics into the open – whenever a settlement made too many people with an interest in overturning it for it to be come a point of equilibrium – not too many groupings but lack of them, too easy to change in the wind.

All four Louis’ sons became focus for aristocratic and ecclesiastical followings –  in this period future Eash Frankish kingdom began to take shape – Louis the German gets Kingdom of Germany or Kingdom of East Franks
