Emperor of the West (840/55), son and successor of Louis I. In 817 hisfather crowned him coemperor. He was recrowned (823) at Rome by the popeand issued (824) a constitution, proclaiming his right to confirm papalelections. He twice (830, 833) revolted against his father, who favoredLothair's half brother Charles (Charles the Bald, later Charles II) athis elder son's expense, and in 833, with his brothers Pepin and Louisthe German, he succeeded in temporarily deposing Louis I.
However, his brothers deserted him and restored Louis. Lothair retainedonly Italy. He later was reconciled with his father, who in 838 allottedhim almost the whole eastern half of the empire, the west (France) goingto Charles. After Louis's death Charles and Louis the German made war ontheir brother Lothair, who tried to reunite the whole empire under hissole rule. The battle of Fontenoy (841), although indecisive, checkedLothair.
Renewing their alliance in 842, Charles and Louis the German forced (843)Lothair to sign the fateful Treaty of Verdun, which partitioned theempire of Charlemagne among the three brothers; Lothair retained theimperial title. He subdivided his domains among his sons Louis II, whowas crowned emperor at Rome in 850, Lothair, king of Lotharingia, andCharles. In 855 he abdicated and became a monk.
