PLAC Emperor in West - le ChauveCharles II (Holy Roman Empire), called The Bald (823-877), Holy Roman emperor (875-877), and, as Charles I, king of France, born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was
the fourth son of Holy Roman Emperor Louis I; his mother, Louis's second wife, was Judith of Bavaria. Judith's determination to secure a kingdom for her only son led to civil war with Louis's other
two surviving sons, Holy Roman Emperor Lothair I and King Louis II of Germany. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of
Verdun in 843. Charles received the western portion of the empire, which from this time may be called the kingdom of France, or the West Frankish Kingdom. Charles was a weak ruler; the great nobles
were rapidly becoming independent, and the Vikings pillaged the country without meeting much resistance from Charles, who preferred to buy them off. Nevertheless, when Holy Roman Emperor Louis II
died in 875, Charles received the imperial crown through the favor of Pope John VIII. Charles was succeeded
as king of France by his son, Louis II, but the imperial throne was vacant until 881.

CHARLES II, son of LOUIS I and JUDITH DE BAVARIA, or Charles the Bald, 823-77, emperor of the West (875-77) and king of the West Franks (843-77), was the son of Emperor Louis I by a second marriage.
Louis's attempts to create a kingdom for Charles
were responsible for the almost constant warfare with Charles' elder brothers, Lothair I and Louis the German. In 843, Charles received what is roughly modern France, and
in 870, he divided Lotharingia with Louis. Charles became emperor upon the death of his nephew Louis II. His brief reign saw the rise of the power of the nobles and serious threats of the Norseman.

Charles II, or Charles the Bald, b. June 13, 823, d. Oct. 6, 877, was the son of Emperor LOUIS I by his second wife. Resented by three older half brothers, Charles became a
pawn in the court politics of the Frankish empire, but by the Treaty of Verdun (843) he was recognized as king of the West Franks, the first true king of France. Toward the end
of his life he was acknowledged (875) as emperor with the pope's support. Throughout his reign, Charles had to struggle against Viking raiders and disloyal magnates as well as with his own relatives.
The French bishops helped him repel his brother
LOUIS THE GERMAN in 859, but ten years later Louis prevented Charles from regaining his
family's ancient homeland in LOTHARINGIA. The Treaty of Mersen (870), which established the ultimate boundaries of medieval France, deprived him of most of this disputed territory, and by his death
the French monarchy was in serious decline. JOHN B.
