PLAC Emperor in West - le ChauveCharles II (Holy Roman Empire), calledThe Bald (823-877), Holy Roman emperor (875-877), and, as Charles I, kingof France, born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was
the fourth son of Holy Roman Emperor Louis I; his mother, Louis's secondwife, was Judith of Bavaria. Judith's determination to secure a kingdomfor her only son led to civil war with Louis's other
two surviving sons, Holy Roman Emperor Lothair I and King Louis II ofGermany. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of
Verdun in 843. Charles received the western portion of the empire, whichfrom this time may be called the kingdom of France, or the West FrankishKingdom. Charles was a weak ruler; the great nobles
were rapidly becoming independent, and the Vikings pillaged the countrywithout meeting much resistance from Charles, who preferred to buy themoff. Nevertheless, when Holy Roman Emperor Louis II
died in 875, Charles received the imperial crown through the favor ofPope John VIII. Charles was succeeded
as king of France by his son, Louis II, but the imperial throne wasvacant 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' elderbrothers, Lothair I and Louis the German.  In 843, Charles received whatis roughly modern France, and
in 870, he divided Lotharingia with Louis.  Charles became emperor uponthe death of his nephew Louis II.  His brief reign saw the rise of thepower of the nobles and serious threats of the Norseman.
