<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Lothair I o Lothar I ( latín holandés y medieval : Lotharius , alemán : Lothar , francés : Lothaire , italiano : Lotario ) (795 - 29 de septiembre de 855) fue el Emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano (817–855, co-gobernando con su padre hasta 840 ), y el gobernador de Baviera (815–817), rey de Italia (818–855) y Francia media (840–855).

Lothair era el hijo mayor del emperador carolingio Louis el Piadoso y su esposa Ermengarde de Hesbaye , [1] hija de Ingerman, el duque de Hesbaye . En varias ocasiones, Lothair llevó a sus hermanos completos Pipino I de Aquitania y a Louis el alemán a rebelarse contra su padre para protestar contra los intentos de hacer que su medio hermano Charles el Calvo fuera un heredero de los dominios francos. Tras la muerte del padre, Charles y Louis unieron fuerzas contra Lothair en una guerra civil de tres años (840–843). Las luchas entre los hermanos llevaron directamente a la ruptura del Imperio franco reunido por su abuelo.Carlomagno , y sentó las bases para el desarrollo de la moderna Francia y Alemania.

Vida temprana y reinado
Reino de Baviera
Reino de Baviera
Lothair nació en 795, de Louis el Piadoso y Emengarde de Hebsbaye. Su padre era el hijo del emperador reinante, Carlomagno. Poco se sabe de la vida temprana de Lothair, que probablemente fue aprobada en la corte de su abuelo Carlomagno . En 814, el anciano emperador murió y dejó a su único hijo legítimo sobreviviente, Louis el Piadoso, como sucesor de su vasto imperio. Al año siguiente, Lothair sería enviado a gobernar Baviera por su padre, el nuevo emperador. [1] En 817, Louis el Piadoso [1] redactó su Ordinatio Imperii . [2]En esto, Louis designó a Lothair como su heredero principal y ordenó que Lothair fuera el señor supremo de los hijos menores de Louis, Pippin de Aquitania (que tenía 20 años) y Louis el alemán (que tenía 13), así como su sobrino (Lothairs Cousin) Bernardo de Italia . Lothair también heredaría sus tierras si murieran sin hijos. Lothair, de 22 años, fue coronado emperador conjunto por su padre en Aquisgrán . [1] Al mismo tiempo, Aquitania y Baviera se otorgaron a sus hermanos Pippin y Louis, respectivamente, como reinos subsidiarios. [2] Tras la muerte de Bernard por Louis el Piadoso, Lothair también recibió el Reino de Italia. [ cita requerida ] En 821, Lothair se casó con Ermengarde(m. 851), hija de Hugh el Conde de Tours . [1]

En 822, asumió el gobierno de Italia , y en Pascua, el 5 de abril de 823, fue coronado emperador nuevamente por el Papa Pascual I , esta vez en Roma . En noviembre de 824, Lothair promulgó un estatuto, la Constitutio Romana , sobre las relaciones del papa y el emperador que reservaba el poder supremo al potentado secular, y luego emitió varias ordenanzas para el buen gobierno de Italia. [1]

Al regreso de Lothair a la corte de su padre, su madrastra Judith obtuvo su consentimiento para su plan de asegurar un reino para su hijo Charles , un plan que se llevó a cabo en 829, [1] cuando el joven príncipe recibió a Alemannia como rey. [ cita requerida ] Lothair, sin embargo, pronto cambió su actitud y pasó la década siguiente en constante lucha por la división del Imperio con su padre. Era alternativamente maestro del Imperio, y desterrado y confinado a Italia, en un momento tomando las armas en alianza con sus hermanos y en otro luchando contra ellos, mientras que los límites de su reino designado se extendían y reducían. [1]

Rompiendo el reino
La primera rebelión comenzó en 830. Los tres hermanos lucharon contra su padre, a quien depusieron. En 831, su padre fue reinstalado y privó a Lothair de su título imperial y le dio Italia a Charles. La segunda rebelión fue instigada por Angilbert II, arzobispo de Milán , en 833, y nuevamente Louis fue depuesto en 834. Lothair, a través de la lealtad de los lombardos y reconciliaciones posteriores, retuvo Italia y la posición imperial a través de todas las divisiones restantes del Imperio por su padre.

Cuando Louis el Piadoso se estaba muriendo en 840, envió las insignias imperiales a Lothair, quien, sin tener en cuenta las diversas particiones, reclamó todo el Imperio. Tenía 45 años cuando murió su padre. Las negociaciones con su hermano Louis el alemán y su medio hermano Charles, quienes se resistieron a esta afirmación, fueron seguidos por una alianza de los hermanos menores contra Lothair. Una batalla decisiva se libró en Fontenay-en-Puisaye el 25 de junio 841, cuando, a pesar de su [1] y su aliado sobrino Pipino II de Aquitania 's [ cita requerida ]galantería personal, Lothair fue derrotado y huyó a Aachen. Con nuevas tropas comenzó una guerra de saqueo, pero las fuerzas de sus hermanos eran demasiado fuertes, y llevando consigo el tesoro que pudo reunir, abandonó su capital. [1] [ aclaración necesaria ] Se reunió con los líderes de los Stellinga en Speyer y les prometió su apoyo a cambio de los suyos, pero Louis y luego la nobleza sajona nativa sofocaron a los Stellinga en los próximos años. [ cita requerida ]

Comenzaron las negociaciones de paz, y en junio de 842 los hermanos se encontraron en una isla en el Saona . Acordaron un acuerdo que se desarrolló, después de muchas dificultades y demoras, en el Tratado de Verdún , firmado en agosto de 843. Por este, Lothair recibió el título imperial, así como el norte de Italia y un largo tramo de territorio desde el Mar del Norte hasta el Mediterráneo , esencialmente a lo largo de los valles del Rin y el Ródano ; Este territorio incluye las regiones de Lorena , Alsacia , Borgoña y Provenza . Pronto cedió Italia a su hijo mayor, Louisy permaneció en su nuevo reino, participando en altercados y reconciliaciones con sus hermanos y en esfuerzos inútiles para defender sus tierras de los ataques de los hombres del norte (como se conocía a los vikingos en los escritos francos) y los sarracenos (como los leales a los diversos Los fatimíes, omeyas y abasidas se conocen en escritos francos). [1]

En 845, el conde de Arles, Fulcrad , encabezó una rebelión en Provenza . El emperador lo dejó y el conde se unió a él en una expedición contra los sarracenos en Italia en 846.

En 855 enfermó gravemente y, desesperado por recuperarse, renunció al trono, dividió sus tierras entre sus tres hijos y el 23 de septiembre ingresó al monasterio de Prüm , donde murió seis días después. Fue enterrado en Prüm, donde se encontraron sus restos en 1860. [1] Fue en Prüm donde Lothair fue más conmemorado. [3]

El mismo año, el reino de Lothair se dividió entre sus tres hijos [1] en un acuerdo llamado Tratado de Prum : el mayor, Luis II , recibió Italia y el título de emperador; el segundo, Lotario II , recibió Lotharingia ; el más joven, Charles , recibió la Provenza . [ cita requerida ]

son of Louis I "the Pious" and his wife Ermengard

From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Lotharingia

LOTHAIRE, son of Emperor LOUIS I "der Fromme/le Pieux" & his first wife Ermengard (795-Kloster Prüm 29 Sep 855, bur Kloster Prüm).

Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names (in order) "Hlutharius, Pippinus, Hludowicus" sons of Emperor Louis I & his wife Ermengard[8].

His father sent him to govern Bavaria in [Aug] 814[9].

He was crowned joint Emperor LOTHAIRE I in Jul 817 at Aachen, ruling jointly with his father.

He was sent to Italy in 822, where he established his court at Pavia and was crowned King of Italy by the Archbishop of Milan.

The Annales Xantenses record that "Ludewicus imperator" gave "filio suo Lothario regnum Langobardorum" in 822[10]. Einhard's Annales record that the emperor sent "Walahum monachum propinquum suum [imperatoris] fratrem…Adalhardi abbatis" to Italy in 822 with "Hlotharius…filium suum"[11].

He was again crowned Emperor, at Rome 5 Apr 823 by Pope Pascal I.

The rivalry with his father and brothers was exacerbated by the unexpected birth of his half-brother Charles in 823. Tension was increased when Emperor Louis invested Charles with Alemannia, Rhetia, Alsace and part of Burgundy at Worms in Aug 829, reducing Lothaire's territory to Italy.

Lothaire and his brothers rebelled in Mar 830, captured their father at Compiègne, and forced him to revert to the constitutional arrangements decided in 817. However, Emperor Louis reasserted his authority at the assemblies of Nijmegen in Oct 830 and Aix-la-Chapelle in Feb 831, and deprived Lothaire of the imperial title and relegated him once more to Italy.

A further revolt of the brothers followed. Emperor Louis was defeated and deposed by his sons at Compiègne 1 Oct 833. He was exiled to the monastery of Saint-Médard de Soissons.

Lothaire declared himself sole emperor 30 Jun 833, but was forced to flee to Vienne by his brothers Pepin and Louis, who freed their father. Emperor Louis was restored 1 Mar 834, crowned once more at Metz 28 Feb 835.

Lothaire captured Chalon-sur-Saône, but was arrested by his father's troops near Chouzy. His father pardoned him and sent him back to Italy as king.

Emperor Louis proposed yet another partition in favour of his son Charles at the assembly of Aachen in 837, which was implemented at the assembly of Worms 28 May 839 when he installed his sons Lothaire and Charles jointly, the former taking all land east of the River Meuse, the latter everything to the west, and set aside the claims of his son Louis and the successors of his late son Pepin.

Lothaire succeeded as sole emperor on his father’s death 20 Jun 840. He sought to extend his power base northwards from Italy across the Alps, and deprive his half-brother Charles. The latter allied himself with his half-brother Louis, and together they defeated Lothaire at Fontenoy-en-Puisaye, near Auxerre 25 Jun 841.

After retreating to Aachen, Lothaire was forced out to Lyon in Apr 842 by his brothers, who declared him incapable of governing the empire. Preliminary peace proposals signed on an island in the Saône, near Mâcon 15 Jun 842 led to the Treaty of Verdun 11 Aug 843, under which the territory of the empire was divided between the three brothers.

Lothaire retained the imperial title and was also installed as LOTHAIRE I King of Lotharingia, a newly created territory covering a wide strip of land from the North Sea coast southwards to Italy, the new country being named after him. He established his seat of government at Aachen, and installed his son Louis as King of Italy. Over the following 10 years, a series of meetings aimed to maintain peace between the three brothers, with varying success.

After a serious illness, Emperor Lothaire abdicated in Sep 855 at Kloster Schüller, near Prüm, and divided his territories between his sons Louis II, Lothaire II and Charles. The Annales Bertiniani record that Emperor Lothaire entered "monasterium Proneæ in Arduenna", was tonsured, died "IV Kal Oct" and was buried in the monastery[12]. The necrology of Prüm records the death "855 III Kal Oct" of "Lotharius imperator"[13].

m (Thionville, Moselle mid-Oct 821) ERMENGARDE [de Tours], daughter of HUGUES Comte [de Tours] [Etichonen] & his wife Ava --- (-20 Mar 851, bur Kloster Erstein, near Strasbourg).

Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris refers to the wife of Emperor Lothaire as "filiam Hugi comitis, qui erat de stirpe cuiusdam ducis nomine Etih" and in the following paragraph names her "Irmingarda"[14]. The Annales Xantenses record the marriage in 821 of "Ludewicus imperator…filio suo Lothario" and "Ermingardam filiam Hugonis comitis Turonicorum"[15].

She founded Kloster Erstein in Alsace in 849. The Annales Xantenses record the death in 851 of "imperatrix…Irmingard, coniunx Lotharii imperatoris"[16].

The Annales Formoselenses record the death in 851 of "Irmingard regina"[17].

Mistress (1): DODA, daughter of --- (-after 9 Jul 855). The Annales Bertiniani records that "Lotharius imperator" took "duas sibi ancillas ex villa regia", of whom Doda gave birth to "filium…Karlomannum"[18].

Emperor Lothaire & his wife had eight children:

1. LOUIS "le Jeune" ([825]-near Brescia 12 Aug 875, bur Milan, San Ambrosio).

Regino names "Hludowicum, Hlotharium et Carolum" as the three sons of Emperor Lothaire & his wife[19].
He was sent to Italy as king in 844, crowned in Rome in 844 as LOUIS King of Italy by Pope Sergius II.
He was crowned joint Emperor LOUIS II, reigning jointly with his father, at Rome in Apr 850 by Pope Leo IV. * He was sole emperor in 855 after the death of his father.
2. HILTRUDE ([826]-after [865/66]).

Pope Nicholas I names "Helletrude Berengarii Comitis quondam relicta" in an undated letter which refers to her as "Lothario sorore sua"[20].
m BERENGAR, son of --- (-[865/66]).

3. daughter ([825/30]-).

The Gesta Francorum records that "Gisalbertus, vassallus Karoli" abducted "filiam Hlotharii imperatoris" and took her to Aquitaine where they were married[21]. The Annales Fuldenses also record that "Gisalbertus vassallus Karoli" abducted "filiam Hlotharii imperatoris" and married her in Aquitaine in 846[22]. The Annales Mettenses also date this event in 846[23]. Settipani states that the emperor recognised the marriage in 849[24].
Rösch says that this daughter is often named Ermengarde in secondary sources but that there is no contemporary proof that this is correct[25].
m (Aquitaine 846) GISELBERT Graf von Maasgau, son of --- (-after 14 Jun 877).

4. BERTA ([830]-after 7 May 852, maybe after [877]).

A letter from Hincmar Archbishop of Reims to "Irmingardi augustæ", included by Flodoard in the Historia Remensis Ecclesiæ, names "Bertæ, ipsius imperatricis filiæ" referring to her activities at "Avennaci monasterii", a later passage confirming that she was "abbatissæ Avennaci monasterii"[26]. A poem by Sedulius is addressed to "Berta…proles…Lothari…Ermingardis matris"[27].
Abbess of Avenay before 847.
Maybe Abbess of Faremoutiers 852-after 877.
m ([Worms autumn 841]) ---.
Berta was married, as shown by a second poem by Sedulius addressed to "Berta" which names "Ermingardis Cæsareumque" as her mother and refers to Bertha's "earthly spouse…now in heaven"[28]. It is possible that she was the daughter "Hlotharius…filiæ suæ" whose marriage is referred to at Worms in Autumn 841 in the Annals of Fulda [29]. Berta's husband has not been identified.
5. GISELA ([830]-860). The necrology of Brixen records that "Domnus Imperator Lotharius tradidit filiam suam domnam Gislam"[30]. Abbess of San Salvatore at Brescia 851-860. "Hludwicus…imperator augustus" made grants to San Salvatore in memory of "Gisla soror nostra defuncta" by charter dated 12 Jan [861][31].

6. LOTHAIRE ([835]-Piacenza 8 Aug 869, bur Convent of San Antonio near Piacenza).

Regino names "Hludowicum, Hlotharium et Carolum" as the three sons of Emperor Lothaire & his wife[32]. "Lothario rege" is named "filio imperatoris Lotharii" by Folcuin[33]. The Annales Bertiniani record that Emperor Lothaire gave Frisia to his son Lothaire in 855[34].
He succeeded his father in 855 as LOTHAIRE II King of Lotharingia, with Aachen as his capital. He attempted to annul his marriage to marry his mistress of many years, but was opposed by Hincmar Archbishop of Reims, and later Pope Nicholas I who ordered him to return to his wife 15 Aug 865.
He was negotiating with Pope Hadrian II for a new decision when he died of malaria[35]. On his death, his lands were divided between Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks and Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks, instead of passing to his brother Emperor Louis despite the latter's objections. The necrology of Prüm records the death "869 Kal Iul" of "Lotharius rex filius eius [=Lotharius imperator]"[36].
m ([855], separated 857, repudiated 860) TEUTBERGA, daughter of BOSO "l'Ancien" Comte d’Arles & his wife --- (-Metz before 25 Nov 875, bur Metz, Abbaye de Sainte-Glossinde).
The Annales Lobienses name "Tietberga, sorore Hucberti abbatis" as lawful wife of "Lotharius"[37]. The Annales Bertiniani name "Teutbergam" as "materteram suam [=Bosone filio Buvini comitis]"[38].
The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Thieberga regina legitima uxore [Lotharii]", specifying that she relied on the advice of "Bosonis comitis" at the time of her repudiation, although her relationship to him is not specified[39]. Herimannus names "Tiohtpirga uxore legitima" of King Lothaire II when recording his repudiation of her[40].
She protected the wife of Boso Count in Italy after she deserted her husband. She was repudiated on the grounds of her alleged incest with her brother Hugobert[41]. Her husband kept her prisoner after separating from her.
The Annales Bertiniani record that "uxor Lotharii" fled to "fratrem suum Hucbertum in regno Karli" in 860[42]. She escaped in 860 and sought refuge with Charles II "le Chauve" who gave her the abbey of Avenay in the diocese of Reims. The Annales Bertiniani records that "uxore [Lothario]" gave support to "uxori Bosonis et Balduino qui filiam eius [=Karoli regis] furatus fuerat in uxorem"[43].
Abbess of Sainte Glossinde at Metz 869. "Heccardus comes" names "…Teutbergane uxore Lotharii…" among the beneficiaries under his testamentary disposition dated to [Jan 876][44]. It is not certain that this refers to the separated wife of King Lothar II, but no other "Teutberga/Lothaire" couple has been identified at the time. If this identification is correct, it suggests a family relationship between Teutberga and Ecchard, which has not yet been identified.
Mistress (1): (from [855]) WALDRADA, daughter of --- (-9 Apr after 868).
The Cæsarii Heisterbacensis Catalogus of archbishops of Köln records that the concubine of "Lotharius" was "Waldradam, sororem Guntheri archiepiscopi Coloniensis" and that her brother encouraged Lothaire to leave his legitimate wife for Waldrada, for which he was excommunicated by the Pope[45].
The Annales Novesienses record that “Guntherus episcopus Coloniensis” had “sororem…Vastradam…aliis Waldradam” whom “dux Lotharingiæ Lotharius…superdixit” after her brother approved his divorce from “legitima uxore Tyberga”[46].
According to Baron Ernouf[47], Gunther archbishop of Köln was uncle of Waldrada and Thetgaud archbishop of Trier was her brother, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.
The Annales Bertiniani names "Hlotharius Waldradam concubinam" when recording that Lothaire purported to marry her in 862 and crowned her with the support of "Liutfrido avunculo suo et Waltario"[48]. Waldrada was also related to the Etichonen Grafen im Nordgau (ALSACE), as shown by the Vita Sancti Deicoli which names "Waldrada…Heberardo comitis consanguinitatis"[49], but the precise relationship is not known.
Folcuin records King Lothaire's excommunication after repudiating his wife for Waldrada[50].
King Lothaire purported to marry Waldrada in [Aug/Sep] 862 and crowned her as Queen, but this was not recognised by the church[51].
She became a nun at Remiremont.
King Lothaire II had four illegitimate children by Mistress (1).

7. ROTRUDE (chr Pavia [835/40]-). The baptism of Rotrudis daughter of Lothaire is recorded at Pavia in [835/40][74]. [same person as…? ROTRUDE . "Witbertus…comes" donated property at Ornois to the abbey of Tournus, for the souls of "Lanberti genitoris mei necnon et Rutrudis genetricis meæ", by charter dated 28 Jan 870[75]. Hlawitschka suggests that she was the daughter of Emperor Lothaire I, as her son's charter dated 28 Jan 870 records that the property he donated to the abbey of Tournus had been granted to his father by Emperor Lothaire[76]. However, the copy of the charter reproduced in the Histoire de Tournus, cited above, states that the property had been donated to Wicbert by "senioris mei Hlotharii Regis". m ([850/51]) LAMBERT Comte et Marquis de Nantes, son of LAMBERT [I] Comte et Marquis de Nantes [Guidonen] & his wife [--- of Italy] (-killed in battle 1 May 852).]

8. CHARLES ([845]-Lyon 25 Jan 863, bur Lyon, Saint-Pierre). Regino names "Hludowicum, Hlotharium et Carolum" as the three sons of Emperor Lothaire & his wife[77]. His father invested him in Sep 855 with Provence, Lyon and Transjuranian Burgundy.

Emperor Lothaire I had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1):

9. CARLOMAN ([853]-). The Annales Bertiniani name "Karlomannum" as the son of "Lotharius imperator" and his mistress Doda[78].

From the English Wikipedia on Lothaire I: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothair_I

Lothair I or Lothar I (German: Lothar, French: Lothaire, Italian: Lotario) (795 – 29 September 855) was the Emperor of the Romans (817–55), co-ruling with his father until 840, and the King of Bavaria (815–17), Italy (818–55) and Middle Francia (840–55). The territory of Lothringen (Lorraine in French and English) is named after him.

Life

Lothair was the eldest son of the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye, daughter of Ingerman, duke of Hesbaye. He led his full-brothers Pippin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German in revolt against their father on several occasions, in protest against his attempts to make their half-brother Charles the Bald a co-heir to the Frankish domains.

Upon the death of the father, Charles and Louis joined forces against Lothair in a three year civil war (840-843), the struggles between the brothers leading directly to the break up of the great Frankish Empire assembled by their grandfather Charlemagne, and would lay the foundation for the development of modern France and Germany.

Little is known of his early life, which was probably passed at the court of his grandfather Charlemagne. Shortly after the accession of his father, he was sent to govern Bavaria.

He first comes to historical attention in 817, when Louis the Pious drew up his Ordinatio Imperii. In this, Louis designated Lothair as his principal heir, to whom his younger brothers Pippin of Aquitaine and Louis the German, as well as his cousin Bernard of Italy, would be subject after the death of their father; he would also inherit their lands if they were to die childless. Lothair was then crowned joint emperor by his father at Aix-la-Chapelle.

At the same time, Aquitaine and Bavaria were granted to his brothers Pippin and Louis respectively as subsidiary kingdoms.

Following the murder of Bernard, King of Italy, by Louis the Pious, Lothair also received the Kingdom of Italy.

In 821, he married Ermengarde (d. 851), daughter of Hugh, count of Tours. In 822, he assumed the government of Italy, and at Easter, 5 April 823, he was crowned emperor again by Pope Paschal I, this time at Rome.

In November 824, he promulgated a statute, the Constitutio Romana, concerning the relations of pope and emperor which reserved the supreme power to the secular potentate, and he afterwards issued various ordinances for the good government of Italy.

On his return to his father's court, his stepmother Judith won his consent to her plan for securing a kingdom for her son Charles, a scheme which was carried out in 829, when the young prince was given Alemannia as king. Lothair, however, soon changed his attitude and spent the succeeding decade in constant strife over the division of the Empire with his father. He was alternately master of the Empire, and banished and confined to Italy, at one time taking up arms in alliance with his brothers and at another fighting against them, whilst the bounds of his appointed kingdom were in turn extended and reduced.

The first rebellion began in 830. All three brothers fought their father, whom they deposed. In 831, he was reinstated and he deprived Lothair of his imperial title and gave Italy to the young Charles.

The second rebellion was instigated by Angilbert II, Archbishop of Milan, in 833, and again Louis was deposed and reinstated the next year (834). Lothair, through the loyalty of the Lombards and later reconciliations, retained Italy and the imperial position through all remaining divisions of the Empire by his father.

When Louis the Pious was dying in 840, he sent the imperial insignia to Lothair, who, disregarding the various partitions, claimed the whole of the Empire. Negotiations with his brother Louis the German and his half-brother Charles, both of whom armed to resist this claim, were followed by an alliance of the younger brothers against Lothair. A decisive battle was fought at Fontenay-en-Puisaye on 25 June 841, when, in spite of his and his allied nephew Pepin II of Aquitaine's personal gallantry, Lothair was defeated and fled to Aachen.

With fresh troops he began a war of plunder, but the forces of his brothers were too strong for him, and taking with him such treasure as he could collect, he abandoned to them his capital. He met with the leaders of the Stellinga in Speyer and promised them his support in return for theirs, but Louis and then the native Saxon nobility put down the Stellinga in the next years.

Peace negotiations began, and in June 842 the brothers met on an island in the Saône, and agreed to an arrangement which developed, after much difficulty and delay, into the Treaty of Verdun signed in August 843. By this, Lothair received the imperial title as well as northern Italy and a long stretch of territory from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, essentially along the valleys of the Rhine and the Rhone.

He soon left Italy to his eldest son, Louis, and remained in his new kingdom, engaging in alternate quarrels and reconciliations with his brothers and in futile efforts to defend his lands from the attacks of the Northmen (as Vikings were known in Frankish writings) and the Saracens.

In 855, he became seriously ill and, despairing of recovery, renounced the throne, divided his lands between his three sons (the Treaty of Prüm), and on September 23, entered the monastery of Prüm, where he died six days later. He was buried at Prüm, where his remains were found in 1860.

His kingdom was divided among his three sons — the eldest, Louis II, received Italy and the title of Emperor; the second, Lothair II, received Lotharingia; while the youngest, Charles, received Provence.

Family

He married Ermengarde of Tours, who died in 851. The last of his nine children is illegitimate.

1. Louis II (825-875) 2. Hiltrude (826-865) 3. Bertha (c.830-852) 4. Irmgard (c.830-849) 5. Gisela (c.830-856) 6. Lothair II (835-869) 7. Rotrude (c.840) 8. Charles (845-863) 9. Carloman (853)

Lotharius I (Aquitanië, 795 - Prüm, 29 september 855) was de oudste zoon van Lodewijk de Vrome en Ermengarde van Haspengouw, en keizer van het Heilige Roomse Rijk. Hij probeerde om als keizer het oppergezag over het gehele Frankische Rijk te behouden maar moest na de dood van zijn vader uiteindelijk instemmen in een deling met zijn broers.

Bestuurder onder zijn vader

In 815 werd Lotharius benoemd tot gouverneur van Beieren. Bij de Ordinatio Imperii van 817 werd hij benoemd tot medekeizer van zijn vader en eerste erfgenaam. Onder het keizerlijk gezag werden zijn broers Pepijn en Lodewijk benoemd tot koningen van Aquitanië en Beieren. Hun neef Bernard was al koning van Italië. Na de mislukte opstand van Bernard in 818 werd Lotharius ook koning van Italië. Hij hervormde het bestuur in zijn koninkrijk en werd in 823 opnieuw gekroond door paus Paschalis. In 824 verklaarde Lotharius dat hij als keizer boven de paus stond. [bewerken]Opstand en burgeroorlog

Na de dood van de moeder van Lotharius, was Lodewijk de Vrome op aandrang van zijn hofhouding hertrouwd met Judith van Beieren. Op haar aandringen wees Lodewijk hun zoon Karel in 829 ook een eigen gebied toe. Lotharius en zijn broers zagen hierin een inbreuk op de Ordinatio Imperii en zagen hierin bovendien een teken van de toenemende macht van Judith en haar gunstelingen in het hof. Opgestookt door hun ooms en neven die allemaal grieven hadden tegen Lodewijk en door een aantal ontevreden edelen, besloten ze om een greep naar de macht te doen:

831: Nadat Lodewijk de Duitser en Pepijn hun vader gevangen hebben genomen, trekt Lotharius met een groot leger naar het noorden en roept een rijksdag bijeen in Nijmegen. Maar Lodewijk de Vrome heeft Pepijn en Lodewijk de Duitser een groter deel in de erfenis beloofd en ook de lokale edelen zijn trouw aan Lodewijk de Vrome. Op de rijksdag moeten de zoons hun vader weer als koning erkennen. Lotharius wordt begenadigd maar houdt alleen Italië over, en gaat daar in ballingschap. 832: Na conflicten met Lodewijk de Duitser en Pepijn, benoemt Lodewijk de Vrome Karel de Kale tot koning van Aquitanië en wijst de rest van het keizerrijk aan Lotharius toe. 833: Lotharius kiest voor een machtsgreep en marcheert naar het noorden. De legers van Lodewijk de Vrome aan de ene kant en de drie opstandige broers aan de andere kant, ontmoeten elkaar bij Colmar. Er wordt dagenlang onderhandeld maar ondertussen hebben de broers, met hulp van de paus, een deel van het leger van Lodewijk omgekocht of overgehaald om hun kant te kiezen. Lodewijk beveelt zijn resterende troepen dan om niet meer te vechten en Lodewijk wordt gevangengenomen. Uit boosheid over het gedrag van Lotharius en de vernederingen die de broers Lodwijk de Vrome laten ondergaan, kiezen steeds meer edelen in Neustrië en Austrasië de kant van Lodewijk de Vrome. Lotharius wordt gedwongen om zich terug te trekken op Bourgondië. 834: Lotharius wilt in onderhandelingen met zijn broers de situatie van de Ordinatio Imperii herstellen, waarbij hij als keizer dus boven zijn broers zal staan. Pepijn en Lodewijk zijn hier niet van gediend want zijn willen hun toegezegde koninkrijken van 831 behouden en als zelfstandige koningen regeren. Lotharius moet zich in Blois onderwerpen, Pepijn en Lodewijk verdrijven Lotharius naar Italië en maken hun vader weer keizer. 835: De belangrijkste partijgangers van Lotharius verliezen hun functies of overlijden in Italië tijdens een epidemie. 839: Lotharius kiest door bemiddeling van Judith nu de kant van Lodewijk de Vrome 840: Lotharius erkent Karel als koning van Aquitanië. Het keizerrijk wordt ruwweg verdeeld in een oostelijk deel (met Italië) voor Lotharius, en een westelijk deel voor Karel. Lodewijk de Duitser houdt alleen de macht in Beieren. Lodewijk de Vrome zendt op zijn sterfbed de keizerlijke tekenen van waardigheid aan Lotharius, die daarna het keizerschap over het hele rijk opeist. 841: Karel en Lodewijk sluiten een bondgenootschap tegen Lotharius (eed van Straatsburg). Lotharius verbindt zich met zijn neef Pepijn II van Aquitanië, die ondanks het koningschap van Karel de feitelijke machthebber in Aquitanië is. Op 25 juni worden Lotharius en Pepijn echter verslagen bij Fontenay in Bourgondië. Lotharius vlucht naar Aken en onderneemt vandaaruit rooftochten maar moet ook Aken opgeven. Lotharius verbindt zich daarop met de Saksische boeren maar hun verzet wordt door Lodewijk en de Saksische adel onderdrukt. Uiteindelijk trekt Lotharius zich terug op Lyon. In dit jaar geeft hij Walcheren in leen aan de Vikingen om zo nieuwe bondgenoten te werven, dit leidt tot een langdurige aanwezigheid van de Vikingen in Friesland. 842: begin van onderhandelingen (door delegaties) bij Mâcon op een eiland in de Saône 843: vredesverdrag: het Verdrag van Verdun. Deze deling betekent het einde van het Frankische Rijk en legt de basis voor het ontstaan van Frankrijk, Duitsland en Italië. Ook de kortstondige hereniging onder Karel de Dikke kon deze ontwikkeling niet tegenhouden.

Keizer van het Middenrijk

Bij het verdrag van Verdun heeft Lotharius zijn broers op bijna alle punten moeten toegeven. Maar aan de andere kant had hij nog wel de keizerstitel en alle gebieden die daarmee verband hadden zoals de hoofdstad Aken, de dalen van de Maas en de Moezel waar de bezittingen van zijn voorouders lagen, en Italië met de controle over de paus en de associatie met het oude Rome. In 844 benoemt hij zijn zoon Lodewijk tot koning van Italië en in 850 maakt hij hem medekeizer. In het noorden is hij gedwongen om meer gebieden aan de Vikingen in leen te geven. In 855 roept hij zijn zoons bij zich in de abdij van Prüm en verdeelt zijn rijk onder hen: 1. Lodewijk krijgt Italië 2. Karel het grootste deel van Bourgondië en de Provence 3. Lotharius II het noordelijke deel van Bourgondië en de rest van het Middenrijk, dat later naar hem Lotharingen zal worden genoemd

Daarna wordt Lotharius monnik in de abdij en sterft 6 dagen later.

Graf

Het graf van Lotharius is in 1860 ontdekt in de abdij van Prüm. Prüm lag toen in het koninkrijk Pruisen en met financiële steun van koning Wilhelm I werd een nieuwe graftombe voor Lotharius gebouwd waarin hij nu nog begraven is.

Huwelijk en kinderen

Lotharius was 15 november 821 in de palts van Thionville getrouwd met Irmgard (circa 800-851), de dochter van zijn trouwe medestander Hugo van Tours. Zij kregen de volgende kinderen:

1. Lodewijk 2. Hiltrude (geb. ca. 826) onbekende dochter (mogelijk Ermengarde) (geb. ca. 830), geschaakt door Giselbert I van Maasgouw die in 846 met haar trouwde in Aquitanië 3. Berta (ca. 830). Jong weduwe van een onbekende echtgenoot, daarna abdis van Avenay tot 852, mogelijk daarna abdis van Faremoutiers tot 877 4. Gisela (ca. 830 - 860), 851 abdis van San Salvatore te Brescia 5. Lotharius II 6. Rotrude, getrouwd met Lambert II van Nantes 7. Karel van Provence

Naast zijn huwelijk had hij tenminste een bijvrouw, Doda. Lotharius en Doda hadden een zoon Karloman (geb. 853). Na de dood van Irmgard weigerde Lotharius opnieuw te trouwen.

I. Lothár (németül: Lothar) (795 – 855. szeptember 29.) Itália királya (818 – 855), I. Jámbor Lajos és Hesbaye-i Ermengarde, Ingerman hesbaniai gróf (ma Belgium, Liège) és Bajor Hedvig lányának, legidősebb fia volt. Ő örökölte apjától az egész Frank Birodalmat a császári címmel együtt, de később kénytelen volt megosztani azt öccseivel, Kopasz Károllyal és Német Lajossal, mint királyokkal, a 843-as Verduni szerződés értelmében, amely három részre osztotta a birodalmat. Kopasz Károly megszerezte a Nyugati Frank Királyságot, a későbbi Franciaországot, Német Lajos pedig a Keleti Frank Királyságot, a későbbi Németországot. Lothárnak csak a belső középső frank területek maradtak (Itália, Burgundia és Lotaringia).

Élete Jámbor Lajos császársága

Korai éveiről keveset tudunk, bár valószínűleg nagyapja, Nagy Károly udvarában teltek 815-ig, amikor is trónra lépő apja kinevezte őt bajor királlyá. Amikor 817-ben Jámbor Lajos jelképesen felosztotta fiai között az örökségét 817-ben Lothárt császárrá koronáztatta Aachenben (francia nevén Aix-la-Chapelle-ben) és megadta neki a főhatalmat öccsei, Pipin és Német Lajos felett, akik Aquitániát és Bajorországot örökölték. Lothár fejére tették Lombardia vaskoronáját is, melyet eddig apai unokatestvére Bernárd viselt. Amikor Bernárd meghalt Lothár szerezte meg a hatalmat az itáliai királyságban. 821-ben elvette Tours-i Ermengarde-t (?-851), Hugó tours-i gróf lányát. 822-ben ténylegesen kezébe vette Itália kormányzását, és 823. április 5-én I. Paszkál pápa ismét császárrá koronázta Rómában. 824 novemberében kihirdette, hogy a császár a pápával egyenrangú egyházi vezető, így jogot formált Itália püspökeinek kinevezésére.

Amikor visszatért apja udvarába, mostohaanyja, Welf Judith elnyerte a támogatását azon terveire, hogy királyságot szerezzen fiának, az újszülött Kopasz Károlynak, a cselszövésre, amelyet 829-ben hajtottak végre, amikor a kis herceg Alemannia királya lett. Lothár azonban hamarosan megváltoztatta terveit, és seregekkel indult apja ellen, hogy meghódítsa az egész birodalmat. Váltakozva volt a birodalom ura, mígnem száműzték Itáliába és megfosztották minden egyéb birtokától. Hamarosan azonban ismét fegyvert fogott, és testvéreivel szövetségben apjuk ellen támadt.

Az első lázadás 830-ban kezdődött. Mind a három testvér Jámbor Lajos ellen fordult, aki azonban legyőzte őket. 831-ben Jámbor Lajos visszaszerezte trónját, és megfosztotta Lothárt császári rangjától. Ezen felül Itáliát is Kopasz Károlynak adta. A második felkelést 833-ban II. Angilber milánói érsek is támogatta, de Lajos ismét győzött, és a következő évben (834) megbosszulta sérelmeit. Lothár visszatért Lombardiába és a császári címet meghagyta az apjának.

Önálló császársága

Amikor Jámbor Lajos 840-ben meghalt, Lothárra hagyta a császári jelképeket, aki így az egész birodalmat örökölte. Testvéreivel, Lajossal és Károllyal folytatott tárgyalásai, akik mindketten fegyverrel indultak ellene, egy szövetséget eredményezett a fiatalabb testvérek között Lothár ellen. A döntő csatát Fontenay-en-Puisaye-nél vívták 841. június 25-én, ahol Lothár és unokaöccse, II. Pipin aquitániai király bátorsága ellenére seregeik vesztettek és a császár Aachenbe szorult vissza. Új sereget szervezett és egy fosztogató hadjáratot indított, de Károly és Lajos seregei túl erősnek bizonyultak. A háború odáig fajult hogy Lothár kénytelen volt elhagyni fővárosát.

Hamarosan megkezdődtek a béketárgyalások és 842 júniusában a fivérek Saône szigetén találkoztak és megkötöttek egy megállapodást, mely a 843. augusztusi Verduni szerződéshez vezetett. Lothár megőrizte császári címét és egy földsávot Németalföld és Észak-Itália között, nagyjából a Rajna és a Rhone mentén. Hamarosan legidősebb fiára, Lajosra, hagyta Itáliát és az új királyságába ment, hogy fivéreivel kibékülve harcoljon közös ellenségeik a vikingek és a szaracénok ellen, akik földjeiket fenyegették.

855-ben súlyosan megbetegedett. A felgyógyulás reménytelensége miatt felosztotta királyságát három fia között és szeptember 23-án visszavonult Prüm kolostorába, ahol hat nap múlva elhunyt. Maradványait 1860-ban találták meg Prümben.

Királyságát fiai felosztották. A legidősebb, Lajos kapta Itáliát és a császári címet. A második, Lothár, kapta Lotaringiát, a legkisebb Károly Provence-t.

From the Finnish Wikipedia page on Lothar I: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothar_I
Lothar I (795 – 29. syyskuuta 855 Prümin luostarissa) oli yksi frankkien kuninkaan Ludvig Hurskaan kolmesta pojasta. Hän peri vuonna 843 Verdunin sopimuksella keskiosan isänsä valtakunnasta. Hänen osakseen tuli Lothringen, jonka nimi on kehittynyt sanoista Lotharii regnum, 'Lotharin valta-alue'; samoista sanoista muodostuivat myös nimet Lotharingia ja nykyranskan Lorraine.

Lothar oli naimisissa Ermengarden kanssa ja jäi leskeksi 851. Hänelle syntyi yhdeksän lasta, joista nuorin aviottomana vuonna 853. Valtakunta jaettiin kolmen pojan kesken. Vanhin lapsista, Ludvig, peri Italian ja keisarin arvonimen. Toiseksi vanhin, Lothar II, sai Lothringenin, ja nuorin, Kaarle, sai Provencen.

born 795 died Sept. 29, 855, Abbey of Prüm, Germany
Frankish emperor whose attempt to gain sole rule over the Frankish territories was checked by his brothers.

The eldest son of the emperor Louis I. (778-840) the Pious and a grandson of Charlemagne (742-814), Lothair was made king in Bavaria after Louis succeeded Charlemagne in 814, and in 817 he was made joint emperor. Under the Ordinatio imperii, a decree issued by Louis in 817 to provide for the unity of the empire after his death, Lothair's younger brothers, Pippin (d. 838) and Louis (later called the German), were to receive their own kingdoms, Aquitaine and Bavaria, but were to remain under the general suzerainty of Lothair.

Ruler in Italy from 822, Lothair was crowned emperor by Pope Paschal I. (d. 824) in 823. He issued the Constitutio Romana (824), affirming imperial sovereignty over Rome and demanding an oath of fealty from the pope. When in 829 Louis I., under the influence of his second wife, Judith, revised the Ordinatio imperii to grant part of the empire previously granted to Lothair to his son by Judith, Charles (later called the Bald), Lothair broke with the imperial government. A palace revolution forced his reappointment as coemperor in 830, but he was again deposed shortly afterward.

In 833 discontent with the rule of Louis I. the Pious ended in a revolt of the three elder sons, led by Lothair, and Lothair replaced the deposed Louis. Louis was restored to power the following year, however, and Lothair's rule was restricted to Italy.

When Pippin died in December 838, Louis I. drew up a new partition scheme, dividing the empire, aside from Bavaria and neighbouring areas, which were left to Louis the German, between Lothair and Charles II the Bald, with Lothair taking the eastern portion. Lothair was to have the title of emperor but without the suzerainty over the other princes that had been granted by the Ordinatio imperii of 817.

On Louis I's death (840), Lothair again claimed his rights under the Ordinatio of 817, but his brothers, Louis and Charles, defeated him at the Battle of Fontenoy (841). The Treaty of Verdun (August 843) left Lothair the Middle Realm of the Frankish dominions, from the North Sea to Italy, while Louis received the eastern and Charles the western territory. The imperial title fell to Lothair.

After granting the government of Italy to his eldest son, Louis II, as early as 844, Lothair partitioned his realm between Louis (emperor from 850) and his two other sons, Lothair and Charles, in 855. Then he abdicated and became a monk.

From the German Wikipedia page on Lothar I: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothar_I._%28Frankenreich%29 Lothar I. (Frankenreich)
Lothar I. (* 795; † 29. September 855 in der Abtei Prüm, Prüm) war von 814 bis 817 Herzog von Bayern, von 817/823 bis 855 römischer Kaiser (bis 840 als Mitkaiser), von 822 bis 855 (Unter-)König von Italien (König der Langobarden) und von 843 bis 855 König des fränkischen Lotharii Regnum („Mittelreich“).

Leben

Lothar war der älteste Sohn Ludwigs des Frommen und dessen Ehefrau Irmingard. Seit August 814 regierte er das Herzogtum Bayern und im Juli 817 wurde er bei der Teilung des Reichs Karls des Großen Mitkaiser. Mitte Oktober 821 vermählte er sich in Diedenhofen (Thionville) mit Irmingard von Tours, Tochter des Grafen Hugo von Tours. 822 erhielt er auch Italien und ein Jahr später, zu Ostern am 5. April 823, von Papst Paschalis I. die Kaiserkrone.[1]

Im November 824 erließ er die Konstitution Lothars, welche die Rechte des Kaisers und des Papstes in Rom und im Kirchenstaat festsetzte. Als aber Ludwig der Fromme dem von seiner zweiten Gemahlin Judith geborenen Sohn Karl dem Kahlen im August 829 auf dem Reichstag zu Worms Alemannien zubestimmte, empörten sich die drei Söhne aus erster Ehe gegen den Vater und setzten ihn 830 ab. 831 wurde Ludwig jedoch wieder befreit und Lothar verlor die Regentschaft.

Bei einer neuen Empörung 833 standen sich die Parteien Ende Juni auf dem Rotfeld bei Colmar gegenüber, bis Ludwig alle Unterstützung verloren hatte und am 30. Juni gezwungen war, sich zu ergeben und faktisch abzudanken. Es folgte ein öffentliches Schuldbekenntnis und die Verbannung Judiths und deren Sohnes Karl in ein Kloster. Das Colmarer Rotfeld wurde aufgrund der geschlossenen und gebrochenen Eide bald nur noch als „Lügenfeld“ bezeichnet.

Lothar wähnte nun seine Herrschaft über das Gesamtreich gesichert, doch nun verbündeten sich seine Brüder mit ihrem abgesetzten Vater Ludwig und holten diesen auf den Thron zurück. Ludwig der Fromme wurde am 1. März 834 in Saint-Denis wieder eingesetzt; Lothar, der nach Burgund geflohen war, musste sich im Juni 834 in Blois unterwerfen; er behielt lediglich Italien als Unterkönigreich, welches er ohne Zustimmung Ludwigs nicht mehr verlassen durfte. Bei der neuen Teilung des Reichs nach Pippins Tod wurde Lothar wieder zu Gnaden angenommen und bekam außer Italien Austrasien ohne Bayern (Juni 839). Nach des Vaters Tod (Juni 840) beanspruchte Lothar die volle Anerkennung als Kaiser. Allein Ludwig und Karl schlugen ihn bei Fontenoy in Burgund am 25. Juni 841. Im Vertrag von Verdun vom 10. August 843 behielt Lothar außer der Kaiserwürde und Italien Burgund und die Länder zwischen Rhein, Maas und Schelde bis an die Nordsee mit den beiden Hauptstädten Rom und Aachen, das sogenannte „Mittelreich“.

Während Lothar zur Festigung seiner Macht in Aachen blieb, verwüsteten die Araber 848 seine italienischen Provinzen, plünderten die Normannen die Küsten der Nordsee. Der hohe Klerus errang eine selbstständige Stellung und die großen Vasallen übten nach Lothars Vorbild Willkür und Gewaltherrschaft.

Bereits schwer erkrankt, teilte Lothar I. am 19. September 855 in der Teilung von Prüm sein Reich unter seine Söhne:

1. Ludwig II. († 875) erhielt die Kaiserwürde und Italien 2. Karl von der Provence († 863) erhielt die Provence und den zum Mittelreich gehörenden, größeren Teil Burgunds (der kleinere Teil, die heutzutage „Burgund“ („Bourgogne“) genannte Region im Zentrum des heutigen Frankreichs, war bereits seit 843 Teil des Westfrankenreiches) 3. Lothar II. († 869) erhielt den nach ihm benannten Nordteil des Reiches (Lotharingien)

Nach der Abdankung zog er sich in die Abtei Prüm in der Eifel zurück, wo er wenige Tage später, am 29. September 855, verstarb und auch bestattet wurde.

Nachleben

Hochgrab Kaiser Lothars I. in der Kirche der Abtei Prüm Lothars Gebeine wurden 1721 beim Neubau der Abteikirche in den neuen Hochaltar umgebettet und 1860 wiedergefunden. 1874 wurde mit finanzieller Unterstützung Kaiser Wilhelms I. ein neues Grabmal geschaffen. In die Grabplatte wurde die Grabinschrift von Hrabanus Maurus eingemeißelt:

„Continet hic tumulus memorandi Caesaris ossa, Hlotharii, magni principis atque pii. Qui Francis, Italis, Romanis praefuit ipsis, Omnia sed sprevit, pauper et hinc abiit. Nam bis tricenos monachus sic attigit annos, Et se mutavit, ac bene post obiit. III. Cal. Octob.“

„Es birgt dieses Grab die Gebeine des unvergesslichen Kaisers, Lothars, des großen und gottesfürchtigen Herrschers. Der über Franken, Italier, selbst Römer gebot. Verschmähte doch alles und ging dann als Armer hinweg. Als Mönch erreichte er ja gerade die Sechzig. Wandelte sich und schied danach selig dahin am 29. September [855].“

Auf Lothar geht der Spruch Tempora mutantur zurück.

Rezeption

In den erzählenden Quellen wird Lothar meist als von Ehrgeiz getrieben und ohne jegliche Staatsräson geschildert. Dieser ausgesprochen negative Ruf wird auch von zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen aufgegriffen und wiedergegeben. Dabei ist jedoch zu bedenken, dass die Hauptquellen zu jener Zeit allesamt aus dem Umfeld von Lothars Brüdern Karl und Ludwig stammen. Ein Geschichtswerk aus seinem eigenen Umfeld, worin er zweifellos in einem positiveren Licht geschildert worden wäre, ist entweder nicht entstanden oder nicht überliefert. Das traditionell negative Bild dieses Herrschers dürfte ihm daher nicht gerecht werden. Eine dies berücksichtigende neuere Darstellung seiner Person und Herrschaft fehlt bisher.

Nachkommen

Aus seiner Ehe mit Irmingard hatte Lothar neun Kinder: 1. Ludwig II. (* wohl 825; † 875), Mitkaiser 2. Helletrud (Hiltrud) (* wohl 826; † nach 865/866), ∞ Graf Berengar († vor 865/866) 3.

This individual predates the existence of the Holy Roman Empire by almost two centuries.

son of Louis I "the Pious" and his wife Ermengard

From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Lotharingia

LOTHAIRE, son of Emperor LOUIS I "der Fromme/le Pieux" & his first wife Ermengard (795-Kloster Prüm 29 Sep 855, bur Kloster Prüm).

Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names (in order) "Hlutharius, Pippinus, Hludowicus" sons of Emperor Louis I & his wife Ermengard[8].

His father sent him to govern Bavaria in [Aug] 814[9].

He was crowned joint Emperor LOTHAIRE I in Jul 817 at Aachen, ruling jointly with his father.

He was sent to Italy in 822, where he established his court at Pavia and was crowned King of Italy by the Archbishop of Milan.

The Annales Xantenses record that "Ludewicus imperator" gave "filio suo Lothario regnum Langobardorum" in 822[10]. Einhard's Annales record that the emperor sent "Walahum monachum propinquum suum [imperatoris] fratrem…Adalhardi abbatis" to Italy in 822 with "Hlotharius…filium suum"[11].

He was again crowned Emperor, at Rome 5 Apr 823 by Pope Pascal I.

The rivalry with his father and brothers was exacerbated by the unexpected birth of his half-brother Charles in 823. Tension was increased when Emperor Louis invested Charles with Alemannia, Rhetia, Alsace and part of Burgundy at Worms in Aug 829, reducing Lothaire's territory to Italy.

Lothaire and his brothers rebelled in Mar 830, captured their father at Compiègne, and forced him to revert to the constitutional arrangements decided in 817. However, Emperor Louis reasserted his authority at the assemblies of Nijmegen in Oct 830 and Aix-la-Chapelle in Feb 831, and deprived Lothaire of the imperial title and relegated him once more to Italy.

A further revolt of the brothers followed. Emperor Louis was defeated and deposed by his sons at Compiègne 1 Oct 833. He was exiled to the monastery of Saint-Médard de Soissons.

Lothaire declared himself sole emperor 30 Jun 833, but was forced to flee to Vienne by his brothers Pepin and Louis, who freed their father. Emperor Louis was restored 1 Mar 834, crowned once more at Metz 28 Feb 835.

Lothaire captured Chalon-sur-Saône, but was arrested by his father's troops near Chouzy. His father pardoned him and sent him back to Italy as king.

Emperor Louis proposed yet another partition in favour of his son Charles at the assembly of Aachen in 837, which was implemented at the assembly of Worms 28 May 839 when he installed his sons Lothaire and Charles jointly, the former taking all land east of the River Meuse, the latter everything to the west, and set aside the claims of his son Louis and the successors of his late son Pepin.

Lothaire succeeded as sole emperor on his father’s death 20 Jun 840. He sought to extend his power base northwards from Italy across the Alps, and deprive his half-brother Charles. The latter allied himself with his half-brother Louis, and together they defeated Lothaire at Fontenoy-en-Puisaye, near Auxerre 25 Jun 841.

After retreating to Aachen, Lothaire was forced out to Lyon in Apr 842 by his brothers, who declared him incapable of governing the empire. Preliminary peace proposals signed on an island in the Saône, near Mâcon 15 Jun 842 led to the Treaty of Verdun 11 Aug 843, under which the territory of the empire was divided between the three brothers.

Lothaire retained the imperial title and was also installed as LOTHAIRE I King of Lotharingia, a newly created territory covering a wide strip of land from the North Sea coast southwards to Italy, the new country being named after him. He established his seat of government at Aachen, and installed his son Louis as King of Italy. Over the following 10 years, a series of meetings aimed to maintain peace between the three brothers, with varying success.

After a serious illness, Emperor Lothaire abdicated in Sep 855 at Kloster Schüller, near Prüm, and divided his territories between his sons Louis II, Lothaire II and Charles. The Annales Bertiniani record that Emperor Lothaire entered "monasterium Proneæ in Arduenna", was tonsured, died "IV Kal Oct" and was buried in the monastery[12]. The necrology of Prüm records the death "855 III Kal Oct" of "Lotharius imperator"[13].

m (Thionville, Moselle mid-Oct 821) ERMENGARDE [de Tours], daughter of HUGUES Comte [de Tours] [Etichonen] & his wife Ava --- (-20 Mar 851, bur Kloster Erstein, near Strasbourg).

Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris refers to the wife of Emperor Lothaire as "filiam Hugi comitis, qui erat de stirpe cuiusdam ducis nomine Etih" and in the following paragraph names her "Irmingarda"[14]. The Annales Xantenses record the marriage in 821 of "Ludewicus imperator…filio suo Lothario" and "Ermingardam filiam Hugonis comitis Turonicorum"[15].

She founded Kloster Erstein in Alsace in 849. The Annales Xantenses record the death in 851 of "imperatrix…Irmingard, coniunx Lotharii imperatoris"[16].

The Annales Formoselenses record the death in 851 of "Irmingard regina"[17].

Mistress (1): DODA, daughter of --- (-after 9 Jul 855). The Annales Bertiniani records that "Lotharius imperator" took "duas sibi ancillas ex villa regia", of whom Doda gave birth to "filium…Karlomannum"[18].

Emperor Lothaire & his wife had eight children:

1. LOUIS "le Jeune" ([825]-near Brescia 12 Aug 875, bur Milan, San Ambrosio).

Regino names "Hludowicum, Hlotharium et Carolum" as the three sons of Emperor Lothaire & his wife[19]. He was sent to Italy as king in 844, crowned in Rome in 844 as LOUIS King of Italy by Pope Sergius II. He was crowned joint Emperor LOUIS II, reigning jointly with his father, at Rome in Apr 850 by Pope Leo IV. * He was sole emperor in 855 after the death of his father. 2. HILTRUDE ([826]-after [865/66]).

Pope Nicholas I names "Helletrude Berengarii Comitis quondam relicta" in an undated letter which refers to her as "Lothario sorore sua"[20]. m BERENGAR, son of --- (-[865/66]).

3. daughter ([825/30]-).

The Gesta Francorum records that "Gisalbertus, vassallus Karoli" abducted "filiam Hlotharii imperatoris" and took her to Aquitaine where they were married[21]. The Annales Fuldenses also record that "Gisalbertus vassallus Karoli" abducted "filiam Hlotharii imperatoris" and married her in Aquitaine in 846[22]. The Annales Mettenses also date this event in 846[23]. Settipani states that the emperor recognised the marriage in 849[24]. Rösch says that this daughter is often named Ermengarde in secondary sources but that there is no contemporary proof that this is correct[25]. m (Aquitaine 846) GISELBERT Graf von Maasgau, son of --- (-after 14 Jun 877).

4. BERTA ([830]-after 7 May 852, maybe after [877]).

A letter from Hincmar Archbishop of Reims to "Irmingardi augustæ", included by Flodoard in the Historia Remensis Ecclesiæ, names "Bertæ, ipsius imperatricis filiæ" referring to her activities at "Avennaci monasterii", a later passage confirming that she was "abbatissæ Avennaci monasterii"[26]. A poem by Sedulius is addressed to "Berta…proles…Lothari…Ermingardis matris"[27]. Abbess of Avenay before 847. Maybe Abbess of Faremoutiers 852-after 877. m ([Worms autumn 841]) ---. Berta was married, as shown by a second poem by Sedulius addressed to "Berta" which names "Ermingardis Cæsareumque" as her mother and refers to Bertha's "earthly spouse…now in heaven"[28]. It is possible that she was the daughter "Hlotharius…filiæ suæ" whose marriage is referred to at Worms in Autumn 841 in the Annals of Fulda [29]. Berta's husband has not been identified. 5. GISELA ([830]-860). The necrology of Brixen records that "Domnus Imperator Lotharius tradidit filiam suam domnam Gislam"[30]. Abbess of San Salvatore at Brescia 851-860. "Hludwicus…imperator augustus" made grants to San Salvatore in memory of "Gisla soror nostra defuncta" by charter dated 12 Jan [861][31].

6. LOTHAIRE ([835]-Piacenza 8 Aug 869, bur Convent of San Antonio near Piacenza).

Regino names "Hludowicum, Hlotharium et Carolum" as the three sons of Emperor Lothaire & his wife[32]. "Lothario rege" is named "filio imperatoris Lotharii" by Folcuin[33]. The Annales Bertiniani record that Emperor Lothaire gave Frisia to his son Lothaire in 855[34]. He succeeded his father in 855 as LOTHAIRE II King of Lotharingia, with Aachen as his capital. He attempted to annul his marriage to marry his mistress of many years, but was opposed by Hincmar Archbishop of Reims, and later Pope Nicholas I who ordered him to return to his wife 15 Aug 865. He was negotiating with Pope Hadrian II for a new decision when he died of malaria[35]. On his death, his lands were divided between Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks and Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks, instead of passing to his brother Emperor Louis despite the latter's objections. The necrology of Prüm records the death "869 Kal Iul" of "Lotharius rex filius eius [=Lotharius imperator]"[36]. m ([855], separated 857, repudiated 860) TEUTBERGA, daughter of BOSO "l'Ancien" Comte d’Arles & his wife --- (-Metz before 25 Nov 875, bur Metz, Abbaye de Sainte-Glossinde). The Annales Lobienses name "Tietberga, sorore Hucberti abbatis" as lawful wife of "Lotharius"[37]. The Annales Bertiniani name "Teutbergam" as "materteram suam [=Bosone filio Buvini comitis]"[38]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Thieberga regina legitima uxore [Lotharii]", specifying that she relied on the advice of "Bosonis comitis" at the time of her repudiation, although her relationship to him is not specified[39]. Herimannus names "Tiohtpirga uxore legitima" of King Lothaire II when recording his repudiation of her[40]. She protected the wife of Boso Count in Italy after she deserted her husband. She was repudiated on the grounds of her alleged incest with her brother Hugobert[41]. Her husband kept her prisoner after separating from her. The Annales Bertiniani record that "uxor Lotharii" fled to "fratrem suum Hucbertum in regno Karli" in 860[42]. She escaped in 860 and sought refuge with Charles II "le Chauve" who gave her the abbey of Avenay in the diocese of Reims. The Annales Bertiniani records that "uxore [Lothario]" gave support to "uxori Bosonis et Balduino qui filiam eius [=Karoli regis] furatus fuerat in uxorem"[43]. Abbess of Sainte Glossinde at Metz 869. "Heccardus comes" names "…Teutbergane uxore Lotharii…" among the beneficiaries under his testamentary disposition dated to [Jan 876][44]. It is not certain that this refers to the separated wife of King Lothar II, but no other "Teutberga/Lothaire" couple has been identified at the time. If this identification is correct, it suggests a family relationship between Teutberga and Ecchard, which has not yet been identified. Mistress (1): (from [855]) WALDRADA, daughter of --- (-9 Apr after 868). The Cæsarii Heisterbacensis Catalogus of archbishops of Köln records that the concubine of "Lotharius" was "Waldradam, sororem Guntheri archiepiscopi Coloniensis" and that her brother encouraged Lothaire to leave his legitimate wife for Waldrada, for which he was excommunicated by the Pope[45]. The Annales Novesienses record that “Guntherus episcopus Coloniensis” had “sororem…Vastradam…aliis Waldradam” whom “dux Lotharingiæ Lotharius…superdixit” after her brother approved his divorce from “legitima uxore Tyberga”[46]. According to Baron Ernouf[47], Gunther archbishop of Köln was uncle of Waldrada and Thetgaud archbishop of Trier was her brother, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. The Annales Bertiniani names "Hlotharius Waldradam concubinam" when recording that Lothaire purported to marry her in 862 and crowned her with the support of "Liutfrido avunculo suo et Waltario"[48]. Waldrada was also related to the Etichonen Grafen im Nordgau (ALSACE), as shown by the Vita Sancti Deicoli which names "Waldrada…Heberardo comitis consanguinitatis"[49], but the precise relationship is not known. Folcuin records King Lothaire's excommunication after repudiating his wife for Waldrada[50]. King Lothaire purported to marry Waldrada in [Aug/Sep] 862 and crowned her as Queen, but this was not recognised by the church[51]. She became a nun at Remiremont. King Lothaire II had four illegitimate children by Mistress (1).

7. ROTRUDE (chr Pavia [835/40]-). The baptism of Rotrudis daughter of Lothaire is recorded at Pavia in [835/40][74]. [same person as…? ROTRUDE . "Witbertus…comes" donated property at Ornois to the abbey of Tournus, for the souls of "Lanberti genitoris mei necnon et Rutrudis genetricis meæ", by charter dated 28 Jan 870[75]. Hlawitschka suggests that she was the daughter of Emperor Lothaire I, as her son's charter dated 28 Jan 870 records that the property he donated to the abbey of Tournus had been granted to his father by Emperor Lothaire[76]. However, the copy of the charter reproduced in the Histoire de Tournus, cited above, states that the property had been donated to Wicbert by "senioris mei Hlotharii Regis". m ([850/51]) LAMBERT Comte et Marquis de Nantes, son of LAMBERT [I] Comte et Marquis de Nantes [Guidonen] & his wife [--- of Italy] (-killed in battle 1 May 852).]

8. CHARLES ([845]-Lyon 25 Jan 863, bur Lyon, Saint-Pierre). Regino names "Hludowicum, Hlotharium et Carolum" as the three sons of Emperor Lothaire & his wife[77]. His father invested him in Sep 855 with Provence, Lyon and Transjuranian Burgundy.

Emperor Lothaire I had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1):

9. CARLOMAN ([853]-). The Annales Bertiniani name "Karlomannum" as the son of "Lotharius imperator" and his mistress Doda[78].

From the English Wikipedia on Lothaire I: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothair_I

Lothair I or Lothar I (German: Lothar, French: Lothaire, Italian: Lotario) (795 – 29 September 855) was the Emperor of the Romans (817–55), co-ruling with his father until 840, and the King of Bavaria (815–17), Italy (818–55) and Middle Francia (840–55). The territory of Lothringen (Lorraine in French and English) is named after him.

Life

Lothair was the eldest son of the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye, daughter of Ingerman, duke of Hesbaye. He led his full-brothers Pippin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German in revolt against their father on several occasions, in protest against his attempts to make their half-brother Charles the Bald a co-heir to the Frankish domains.

Upon the death of the father, Charles and Louis joined forces against Lothair in a three year civil war (840-843), the struggles between the brothers leading directly to the break up of the great Frankish Empire assembled by their grandfather Charlemagne, and would lay the foundation for the development of modern France and Germany.

Little is known of his early life, which was probably passed at the court of his grandfather Charlemagne. Shortly after the accession of his father, he was sent to govern Bavaria.

He first comes to historical attention in 817, when Louis the Pious drew up his Ordinatio Imperii. In this, Louis designated Lothair as his principal heir, to whom his younger brothers Pippin of Aquitaine and Louis the German, as well as his cousin Bernard of Italy, would be subject after the death of their father; he would also inherit their lands if they were to die childless. Lothair was then crowned joint emperor by his father at Aix-la-Chapelle.

At the same time, Aquitaine and Bavaria were granted to his brothers Pippin and Louis respectively as subsidiary kingdoms.

Following the murder of Bernard, King of Italy, by Louis the Pious, Lothair also received the Kingdom of Italy.

In 821, he married Ermengarde (d. 851), daughter of Hugh, count of Tours. In 822, he assumed the government of Italy, and at Easter, 5 April 823, he was crowned emperor again by Pope Paschal I, this time at Rome.

In November 824, he promulgated a statute, the Constitutio Romana, concerning the relations of pope and emperor which reserved the supreme power to the secular potentate, and he afterwards issued various ordinances for the good government of Italy.

On his return to his father's court, his stepmother Judith won his consent to her plan for securing a kingdom for her son Charles, a scheme which was carried out in 829, when the young prince was given Alemannia as king. Lothair, however, soon changed his attitude and spent the succeeding decade in constant strife over the division of the Empire with his father. He was alternately master of the Empire, and banished and confined to Italy, at one time taking up arms in alliance with his brothers and at another fighting against them, whilst the bounds of his appointed kingdom were in turn extended and reduced.

The first rebellion began in 830. All three brothers fought their father, whom they deposed. In 831, he was reinstated and he deprived Lothair of his imperial title and gave Italy to the young Charles.

The second rebellion was instigated by Angilbert II, Archbishop of Milan, in 833, and again Louis was deposed and reinstated the next year (834). Lothair, through the loyalty of the Lombards and later reconciliations, retained Italy and the imperial position through all remaining divisions of the Empire by his father.

When Louis the Pious was dying in 840, he sent the imperial insignia to Lothair, who, disregarding the various partitions, claimed the whole of the Empire. Negotiations with his brother Louis the German and his half-brother Charles, both of whom armed to resist this claim, were followed by an alliance of the younger brothers against Lothair. A decisive battle was fought at Fontenay-en-Puisaye on 25 June 841, when, in spite of his and his allied nephew Pepin II of Aquitaine's personal gallantry, Lothair was defeated and fled to Aachen.

With fresh troops he began a war of plunder, but the forces of his brothers were too strong for him, and taking with him such treasure as he could collect, he abandoned to them his capital. He met with the leaders of the Stellinga in Speyer and promised them his support in return for theirs, but Louis and then the native Saxon nobility put down the Stellinga in the next years.

Peace negotiations began, and in June 842 the brothers met on an island in the Saône, and agreed to an arrangement which developed, after much difficulty and delay, into the Treaty of Verdun signed in August 843. By this, Lothair received the imperial title as well as northern Italy and a long stretch of territory from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, essentially along the valleys of the Rhine and the Rhone.

He soon left Italy to his eldest son, Louis, and remained in his new kingdom, engaging in alternate quarrels and reconciliations with his brothers and in futile efforts to defend his lands from the attacks of the Northmen (as Vikings were known in Frankish writings) and the Saracens.

In 855, he became seriously ill and, despairing of recovery, renounced the throne, divided his lands between his three sons (the Treaty of Prüm), and on September 23, entered the monastery of Prüm, where he died six days later. He was buried at Prüm, where his remains were found in 1860.

His kingdom was divided among his three sons — the eldest, Louis II, received Italy and the title of Emperor; the second, Lothair II, received Lotharingia; while the youngest, Charles, received Provence.

Family

He married Ermengarde of Tours, who died in 851. The last of his nine children is illegitimate.

1. Louis II (825-875) 2. Hiltrude (826-865) 3. Bertha (c.830-852) 4. Irmgard (c.830-849) 5. Gisela (c.830-856) 6. Lothair II (835-869) 7. Rotrude (c.840) 8. Charles (845-863) 9. Carloman (853)

Lotharius I (Aquitanië, 795 - Prüm, 29 september 855) was de oudste zoon van Lodewijk de Vrome en Ermengarde van Haspengouw, en keizer van het Heilige Roomse Rijk. Hij probeerde om als keizer het oppergezag over het gehele Frankische Rijk te behouden maar moest na de dood van zijn vader uiteindelijk instemmen in een deling met zijn broers.

Bestuurder onder zijn vader

In 815 werd Lotharius benoemd tot gouverneur van Beieren. Bij de Ordinatio Imperii van 817 werd hij benoemd tot medekeizer van zijn vader en eerste erfgenaam. Onder het keizerlijk gezag werden zijn broers Pepijn en Lodewijk benoemd tot koningen van Aquitanië en Beieren. Hun neef Bernard was al koning van Italië. Na de mislukte opstand van Bernard in 818 werd Lotharius ook koning van Italië. Hij hervormde het bestuur in zijn koninkrijk en werd in 823 opnieuw gekroond door paus Paschalis. In 824 verklaarde Lotharius dat hij als keizer boven de paus stond. [bewerken]Opstand en burgeroorlog

Na de dood van de moeder van Lotharius, was Lodewijk de Vrome op aandrang van zijn hofhouding hertrouwd met Judith van Beieren. Op haar aandringen wees Lodewijk hun zoon Karel in 829 ook een eigen gebied toe. Lotharius en zijn broers zagen hierin een inbreuk op de Ordinatio Imperii en zagen hierin bovendien een teken van de toenemende macht van Judith en haar gunstelingen in het hof. Opgestookt door hun ooms en neven die allemaal grieven hadden tegen Lodewijk en door een aantal ontevreden edelen, besloten ze om een greep naar de macht te doen:

831: Nadat Lodewijk de Duitser en Pepijn hun vader gevangen hebben genomen, trekt Lotharius met een groot leger naar het noorden en roept een rijksdag bijeen in Nijmegen. Maar Lodewijk de Vrome heeft Pepijn en Lodewijk de Duitser een groter deel in de erfenis beloofd en ook de lokale edelen zijn trouw aan Lodewijk de Vrome. Op de rijksdag moeten de zoons hun vader weer als koning erkennen. Lotharius wordt begenadigd maar houdt alleen Italië over, en gaat daar in ballingschap. 832: Na conflicten met Lodewijk de Duitser en Pepijn, benoemt Lodewijk de Vrome Karel de Kale tot koning van Aquitanië en wijst de rest van het keizerrijk aan Lotharius toe. 833: Lotharius kiest voor een machtsgreep en marcheert naar het noorden. De legers van Lodewijk de Vrome aan de ene kant en de drie opstandige broers aan de andere kant, ontmoeten elkaar bij Colmar. Er wordt dagenlang onderhandeld maar ondertussen hebben de broers, met hulp van de paus, een deel van het leger van Lodewijk omgekocht of overgehaald om hun kant te kiezen. Lodewijk beveelt zijn resterende troepen dan om niet meer te vechten en Lodewijk wordt gevangengenomen. Uit boosheid over het gedrag van Lotharius en de vernederingen die de broers Lodwijk de Vrome laten ondergaan, kiezen steeds meer edelen in Neustrië en Austrasië de kant van Lodewijk de Vrome. Lotharius wordt gedwongen om zich terug te trekken op Bourgondië. 834: Lotharius wilt in onderhandelingen met zijn broers de situatie van de Ordinatio Imperii herstellen, waarbij hij als keizer dus boven zijn broers zal staan. Pepijn en Lodewijk zijn hier niet van gediend want zijn willen hun toegezegde koninkrijken van 831 behouden en als zelfstandige koningen regeren. Lotharius moet zich in Blois onderwerpen, Pepijn en Lodewijk verdrijven Lotharius naar Italië en maken hun vader weer keizer. 835: De belangrijkste partijgangers van Lotharius verliezen hun functies of overlijden in Italië tijdens een epidemie. 839: Lotharius kiest door bemiddeling van Judith nu de kant van Lodewijk de Vrome 840: Lotharius erkent Karel als koning van Aquitanië. Het keizerrijk wordt ruwweg verdeeld in een oostelijk deel (met Italië) voor Lotharius, en een westelijk deel voor Karel. Lodewijk de Duitser houdt alleen de macht in Beieren. Lodewijk de Vrome zendt op zijn sterfbed de keizerlijke tekenen van waardigheid aan Lotharius, die daarna het keizerschap over het hele rijk opeist. 841: Karel en Lodewijk sluiten een bondgenootschap tegen Lotharius (eed van Straatsburg). Lotharius verbindt zich met zijn neef Pepijn II van Aquitanië, die ondanks het koningschap van Karel de feitelijke machthebber in Aquitanië is. Op 25 juni worden Lotharius en Pepijn echter verslagen bij Fontenay in Bourgondië. Lotharius vlucht naar Aken en onderneemt vandaaruit rooftochten maar moet ook Aken opgeven. Lotharius verbindt zich daarop met de Saksische boeren maar hun verzet wordt door Lodewijk en de Saksische adel onderdrukt. Uiteindelijk trekt Lotharius zich terug op Lyon. In dit jaar geeft hij Walcheren in leen aan de Vikingen om zo nieuwe bondgenoten te werven, dit leidt tot een langdurige aanwezigheid van de Vikingen in Friesland. 842: begin van onderhandelingen (door delegaties) bij Mâcon op een eiland in de Saône 843: vredesverdrag: het Verdrag van Verdun. Deze deling betekent het einde van het Frankische Rijk en legt de basis voor het ontstaan van Frankrijk, Duitsland en Italië. Ook de kortstondige hereniging onder Karel de Dikke kon deze ontwikkeling niet tegenhouden.

Keizer van het Middenrijk

Bij het verdrag van Verdun heeft Lotharius zijn broers op bijna alle punten moeten toegeven. Maar aan de andere kant had hij nog wel de keizerstitel en alle gebieden die daarmee verband hadden zoals de hoofdstad Aken, de dalen van de Maas en de Moezel waar de bezittingen van zijn voorouders lagen, en Italië met de controle over de paus en de associatie met het oude Rome. In 844 benoemt hij zijn zoon Lodewijk tot koning van Italië en in 850 maakt hij hem medekeizer. In het noorden is hij gedwongen om meer gebieden aan de Vikingen in leen te geven. In 855 roept hij zijn zoons bij zich in de abdij van Prüm en verdeelt zijn rijk onder hen: 1. Lodewijk krijgt Italië 2. Karel het grootste deel van Bourgondië en de Provence 3. Lotharius II het noordelijke deel van Bourgondië en de rest van het Middenrijk, dat later naar hem Lotharingen zal worden genoemd

Daarna wordt Lotharius monnik in de abdij en sterft 6 dagen later.

Graf

Het graf van Lotharius is in 1860 ontdekt in de abdij van Prüm. Prüm lag toen in het koninkrijk Pruisen en met financiële steun van koning Wilhelm I werd een nieuwe graftombe voor Lotharius gebouwd waarin hij nu nog begraven is.

Huwelijk en kinderen

Lotharius was 15 november 821 in de palts van Thionville getrouwd met Irmgard (circa 800-851), de dochter van zijn trouwe medestander Hugo van Tours. Zij kregen de volgende kinderen:

1. Lodewijk 2. Hiltrude (geb. ca. 826) onbekende dochter (mogelijk Ermengarde) (geb. ca. 830), geschaakt door Giselbert I van Maasgouw die in 846 met haar trouwde in Aquitanië 3. Berta (ca. 830). Jong weduwe van een onbekende echtgenoot, daarna abdis van Avenay tot 852, mogelijk daarna abdis van Faremoutiers tot 877 4. Gisela (ca. 830 - 860), 851 abdis van San Salvatore te Brescia 5. Lotharius II 6. Rotrude, getrouwd met Lambert II van Nantes 7. Karel van Provence

Naast zijn huwelijk had hij tenminste een bijvrouw, Doda. Lotharius en Doda hadden een zoon Karloman (geb. 853). Na de dood van Irmgard weigerde Lotharius opnieuw te trouwen.
