Although Louis I, b. 778, d. June 20, 840, was an able ruler and energetic military commander, his reputation has suffered because he was not as successful as his father, CHARLEMAGNE. Louis was
crowned king of
Aquitaine at the age of three. In this capacity, after reaching his majority, he established a vigorous Carolingian presence in Spain. His brothers having died, he was crowned coemperor in 813, and
in 814 he succeeded Charlemagne as sole ruler of the
Frankish empire. Louis sought to develop the imperial ideal, working closely with the church. However, squabbles among his sons for greater shares in what was to be their inheritance led to civil
war. In 817, Louis made his eldest son, LOTHAIR I,
coemperor and allocated parts of the empire to his other sons, LOUIS THE GERMAN and Pepin. The birth of another son, the future Emperor CHARLES II, to Louis's second wife, Judith of Bavaria, started
the trouble. Louis's attempts to
provide for Charles precipitated a series of revolts by the older sons. The invasions of Vikings and Muslims further weakened Carolingian power. By the time of Louis's death the empire was in serious
decline. BERNARD S. BACHRACH Bibliography: Duckett,

LothairI, Holy Roman emperor, Louis II, king of Germany, and CharlesII, Holy Roman emperor. His reign, however, was troubled byquarrels with his sons, who were dissatisfied with hisarrangements for
the succession. Louis was physically strong butwas easily influenced and was unequal to administering the largeempire that he inherited from his father.--Other FieldsRef Number:

Louis I, "The Pious", Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 814 succeeded his father, Charlemagne. In 817, he arranged for the succession after his death by dividing the empire among his three sons.
After his first wife died, Louis married again, and a fourth son, Charles, was born. Louis redivided his empire in 829 in order to give Charles a share. The older sons resented the new division and
revolted. Louis was removed from the throne in 833, but was restored the next year. The bitter struggle between his sons continued until Louis died. The name Louis means "famour warrior."
