Lothar I, also spelled Lothair, (born 795? died Sept. 29, 855, Abbey of Pr?m, Ger.), Frankish emperor, whose attempt to gain sole rule over the Frankish territories was checked by his brothers.

The eldest son of the emperor Louis I the Pious and a grandson of Charlemagne, Lothar was made king in Bavaria after Louis succeeded Charlemagne in 814, and in 817 he was made joint emperor. Under the Ordinatio imperii, a decree issued by Louis in 817 to provide for the unity of the empire after his death, Lothar's younger brothers, Pippin and Louis (later called the German), were to receive their own kingdoms, Aquitaine and Bavaria, but were to remain under the general suzerainty of Lothar.

Ruler in Italy from 822, Lothar was crowned emperor by Pope Paschal I in 823. He issued the Constitutio Romana (824), affirming imperial sovereignty over Rome and demanding an oath of fealty from the pope. When in 829 Louis I, under the influence of his second wife, Judith, revised the Ordinatio imperii to grant part of the empire previously granted to Lothar to his son by Judith, Charles (later called the Bald), Lothar broke with the imperial government. A palace revolution forced his reappointment as coemperor in 830, but he was again deposed shortly afterward.

In 833 discontent with the rule of Louis I the Pious ended in a revolt of the three elder sons, led by Lothar, and Lothar replaced the deposed Louis. Louis was restored to power the following year, however, and Lothar's rule was restricted to Italy.

When Pippin died in December 838, Louis I drew up a new partition scheme, dividing the empire, aside from Bavaria and neighbouring areas, which were left to Louis the German, between Lothar and Charles II the Bald, with Lothar taking the eastern portion. Lothar was to have the title of emperor but without the suzerainty over the other princes that had been granted by the Ordinatio imperii of 817.

On Louis I's death (840), Lothar again claimed his rights under the Ordinatio of 817, but his brothers, Louis and Charles, defeated him at the Battle of Fontenoy (841). The Treaty of Verdun (August 843) left Lothar the Middle Realm of the Frankish dominions, from the North Sea to Italy, while Louis received the eastern and Charles the western territory. The imperial title fell to Lothar.

After granting the government of Italy to his eldest son, Louis II, as early as 844, Lothar partitioned his realm between Louis (emperor from 850) and his two other sons, Lothar and Charles, in 855. Then he abdicated and became a monk.

Lothair married Ermengarde, Countess Of Tours on 15 Oct 821 in Thionville, Moselle, France. Ermengarde (daughter of Hugues II, Count Of Upper Alsace and Ava, Countess Of Upper Alsace) was born about 800 in Of Alsace, France; died on 20 Mar 851 in Strasbourg, Alsace, France; was buried in Abbaye D'erstein, Strasbourg, Alsace, France.

BIOGRAPHY: Louis I (Holy Roman Empire), called 'The Pious' (778-840). He was the son and sole successor of Charlemagne. In 817 Louis made plans for an orderly succession among his sons: Lothair I, Louis II (Louis the German), and Pepin of Aquitaine. Later he wanted to include in the succession Charles II (Charles the Bald), his son by a second marriage. Dissatisfied, his older sons rebelled (830, 833) against him and fought among themselves for supremacy as well. Pepin died in 838, and in 843 the empire was divided among the three surviving brothers (see Verdun, Treaty of), Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Alias: Louis the /Pious/, Ludwig the Pious Custom Field:<_FA#> BET. 781 - 814King of Aquitaine Custom Field:<_FA#> BET. 814 - 840King of Franks/Franki sh Emperor Louis was crowned king of Aquitaine in 781 to slow rebellion after Charlemagne's defeat in Spain by the Saracen Moslems. In 793, the Saracens in vaded Aquitaine under Caliph Hisham. In 795, the Spanish March was created wi th William as its Count. The next year, King Louis and Count William defeated the Saracens and secured the Frankish-held areas of northeast Spain. The con tinued to fight the Saracens until 813 when all of Navarre was conquered by Wi lliam and Louis. In 806, Charlemagne wrote in his will that his sons Louis, Cha rles, and Pepin would divide the Empire on his death. Pepin died in 810 and Charles followed in 811. By 813, Byzantine nobles came to Charlemagne to reco gnize him as Emperor (he was 69 years old), and so he ordered Louis to come fr om Aquitaine to be crowned co-Emperor and designated successor. When Charlema gne died in 814, Louis succeeded to all thrones. Louis put his son, Pepin, on t he throne of Aquitaine, made Lothar co-Emperor, and made his son, Louis, king of Bavaria. Louis "the Pious" first reformed the court in a "moral purge" by sending all of the unmarried princesses to nunneries and sending Charlemagne's three illegitimate sons to monasteries. He then put down a rebellion in Ita ly. When his wife, Irmengard/Ermengard, died, he remarried "Black Judith" of the Alamanic race of the Welfs. He'd already made his three sons, Pepin, Loui s, and Lothar his successors. However, when his son, Charles, was born in 823 , he tried desperately to include him in the succession. In 829, he dropped L othar's imperial title as co-Emperor and sent him off to Italy. The next year , the three brothers united and attacked their father, forcing him to abdicate . They demanded that Lothar be given back his imperial title and they sent Ju dith off to a nunnery. By 831, however, Louis the Pious managed to regain his power, bring back his wife, drop Lothar completely from his will and replace him with Charles, and refused to allow Lothar to ever return to court without permission. That same year, Pepin of Aquitaine revolted on his own and Louis o f Bavaria followed the next year. Emperor Louis declared that Pepin was form ally deposed of his titles, but he could not enforce this order. In 833, the three brothers gained support from Pope Gregory IV and many of the Emperor's o wn generals. Lothar made a settlement; Louis and Charles were imprisoned; Jud ith was sent in exile to Italy under the eye of Lother; Louis of Bavaria and P epin of Aquitaine were to gain territory that was formally under imperial auth ority. By 834 Pepin and Louis released their father and brother from jail, Ju dith was brought back, and peace was made. In 835, Louis was re-crowned with great pomp. Pepin died in 838 and Louis put Charles on the throne of Aquitaine. The nobles, however, put Pepin's son, Pepin II, on the throne. Neither Cha rles nor Pepin II held authority. Louis the Pious died in 840 and a civil war ensued over the Empire's division that lasted until peace was finally made in 843.

Louis married Princess Ermengarde DE HESBANIA, Empress, Hre in Feb 798 in , France. Ermengarde (daughter of Count Ingerman DE HESBAYE and HESBAYE, Duchess Of Hesbaye) was born about 778 in Of Hesbaye, Liege, Belgium, Belgium; died on 3 Oct 818 in Angers, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
