TITLE: Emperor of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
BURIAL: Aachen Cathedral, Aachen, Rhineland, PRUSSIA
GIVEN NAME: Louis I "The Fair"
NICK: Louis I "The Pious"
NOTE:
The only surviving son of Charlemagne, he was Emperor from 814 to 840. He was not a strong ruler, and his sons began to tear the Empire apart while he still ruled.
Louis I, surnamed the Pious. As a child in 781 he was crowned King of Aquitaine. His father planned to divide the empire among his three sons, but on account of the death of the other two, Louis became successor in the empire, his nephew Bernard, son of Pepin, becoming King of Italy. Louis was crowned Emperor by his father at Aachen in 813. Three years later he was crowned a second time by Pope Stephen IV at Reims. His tastes were ecclesiastic rather than military, and he earned the surname Pious through his liberality to the church and for his attempt to reform and purify monastic life. Soon after his coronation he arranged for a division of the empire among his three sons, but he later married a second time and included Charles, a son by the second marriage, in a new arrangement. The remainder of his reign was marked by a series of revolts on the part of the elder sons. At times they fought among themselves, at times against their father, and on two occasions practically deposed him. With the death of Pepin, the empire was divided among the other three, including Charles.
