| Note | Louis the Stammerer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Louis the Stammerer King of Western Francia Reign 877???879, Coronation 8 December 877 Rheims, Predecessor Charles II, Successor Louis III and Carloman II, Issue, Louis III of France, Carloman II of France, Hildegarde of France, Gisela of France, Ermentrude of France, Charles the Simple Father: Charles the Bald Mother: Ermentrude of Orl?ans Born 1 November 846(846-11-01), Died 10 April 879 (aged 32) Louis the Stammerer (November 1, 846 ??? April 10, 879; French: Louis le B?gue), was the King of Aquitaine and later King of West Francia. He was the eldest son of Charles the Bald and Ermentrude of Orl?ans. He succeeded his younger brother in Aquitaine in 866 and his father in West Francia in 877, though he was never crowned Emperor. 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), who married Robert, Count of Troyes. With his second wife, Adelaide of Paris, he had one daughter, Ermentrude (875???914) ??? who was the mother of Cunigunde, wife of the Count Palatine Wigerich of Bidgau; they were the ancestors of the House of Luxemburg ???, and a posthumous son, Charles the Simple, who would become, long after his elder brothers' deaths, king of France. He was crowned on 8 December 877 by Hincmar, archbishop of Rheims, 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, Gerona, and Besal? 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 10 April or 9 April 879 not long after beginning his final campaign. On his death, his realms were divided between his two sons, Carloman and Louis.
