======================================================
Judith was the second wife of Louis I (the Pious), Frankish Emperor.
When Louis the Pious' first wife died, he remarried (Judith) and had
a son, Charles, in 823. In all of his wills, he had made his three sons,
Pepin of Acquataine, Louis of Bavaria, and Lothar his co-Emperor,
as his successors. When Charles was born, he (Louis) tried desperately
to include him. In 829 he dropped Lothar's imperial title and sent him off
to Italy. The next year the three brothers united and attacked, forcing
their father to abdicate, Lothar to be given back, his imperial title, and
Judith to be sent off to a nunnery. By the next year, Louis had regained
his power, brought Judith back, dropped Lothar completely from the will,
replace him with Judith's son, Charles, and refused to allow Lothar to ever
return to court without permission.
That year Pepin revolted on his own. Louis of Bavaria followed the next year and they both attacked. Emperor Louis declared that Pepin was formally 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 Louis' own generals. Lothar made a settlement: Louis and Charles were imprisoned, Judith sent into exile in Italy under the eye of Lothar, and Louis of Bavaria and Pepin were to gain territory (formerly under imperial authority). The next year, however, Pepin and Louis of Bavaria released their father and brother from jail, Judith was brought back, and peace was made.
