Ludvig ?den Oversjøiske? var konge av Frankrike (Vest-Franken) 936 - 954.
Da hans far ble fanget av opprørske stormenn i 923, brakte hans mor ham i sikkerhet i
England. Her ble han oppdratt ved sin onkel, kong Athelstans hoff.
I 936 kalte stormennene ham tilbake til Frankrike og tok ham til konge. Hans
regjeringstid var urolig. I stadige kamper med Otto I av Tyskland, normannerne, magyarerne og
opprørske stormenn med Hugo ?den Store? i spissen, måtte han hevde sin makt. Kampene ble
ført med skiftende hell, men han beholdt kongetitelen til sin død.

He spent his youth as an exile in England, but at the death of King Raoul he was recalled by the nobles under the leadership of Hugh the Great. However, Louis's energy and independence displeased Hugh, who fought against him with the German

He spent most of his rein struggling against his powerful vassal, Hugh the
Great, as Louis proved not to be the puppet monarch Hugh had anticipated.
In 945, while intervening in Norman politics, Louis was captured and handed
over to Hugh, who imprisoned him for a year. On his release, Louis closely
allied himself with Otto I to retake Reims in 946. In 949 Louis again
received control of Laon, and Hugh, excommunicated by French and German
synods and by the Pope, made peace in 951 that lasted until Louis's death.

Louis IV of France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louis IV (920 – September 10, 954), called d'Outremer or Transmarinus, reigned as king of France from 936 to 954, a member of the Carolingian dynasty, the son of Charles III and Eadgifu of England, a daughter of King Edward the Elder. He was a fifth generation descendant of Charlemagne.

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When he was only three years old, Robert died and was replaced by Rudolph, duke of Burgundy. Rudolph's ally, a Carolingian himself, Count Herbert II of Vermandois, took Charles captive by treachery and the young Louis's mother took the boy "over the sea" to the safety of England, hence his nickname.

Charles died in 929, but Rudolph ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugh the Great, who had probably organised his return to prevent Herbert II, or Rudolph's brother Hugh the Black, taking the throne. He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Rheims, on Sunday 19 June 936. Effectively, his sovereignty was limited to the town of Laon and to some places in the north of France, Louis displayed a keenness beyond his years in obtaining the recognition of his authority by his feuding nobles. Nonetheless, his reign was filled with conflict; in particular with Hugh the Great, count of Paris.

In 939, Louis became involved in a struggle with the Emperor Otto the Great on the question of Lorraine, but then married Otto's sister Gerberga of Saxony (914 – May 5, 984). They had two sons and a daughter (and 5 more children without issue): Lothair, his successor; Charles, later duke of Lower Lorraine; and Matilda.

Louis IV fell from his horse and died September 10, 954, at Rheims, in the Marne, and is interred there at Saint-Remi Cathedral.

Also Known As: Louis "d'Outremer". Some sources claim King Louis IV was born in the year 921.
Note -between 936 and 954 in France: King:936-954. When Louis IV's father [Charles "Le Simple"] was captured [by Herbert de Vermandois in 923] , his mother Eadgifu took him to England for refuge. Louis IV came to the throne thanks to the support of Hughes, Count of Paris who had Louis IV recalled to France to succeed King Raoul (reign: 923-936). On 19 June 936, the new King, arrived in Boulogne, from England [hence the nickname "from overseas"] . He is annointed in Laon by the Archbishop of Reims, Artaud. Hughes "Le Grand" fancies himself the mentor of the King, but the King is rather independent of mind. Louis struggled against Hughes "Le Grand", Count of Paris, through most of his reign. In 936, the new German King, Otton I (who had just succeeded Henri I) tries to arbitrate their quarrels. In 938, King Louis "d'Outremer" makes an enemy out of Otton by marching into Lorraine. In 940, Otton I invades France and marches on Paris, with the help of his allies, Hughes "Le Grand" and Hughes de Vermandois. The Kingdom is split in two. While fighting the Normans in an attempt to recapture Normandy, Louis IV was made prisoner in 945 in Rouen. His liberty following that capture was short-lived as Louis IV fell into the hands of Hughes "Le Grand", now Duke de France, who kept him prisoner for one year until 946. An alliance with the German King Otto I allowed Louis IV to defeat Hughes (having had Hugues de Vermandois excommunicated in 948 at the Council of Ingelheim; The Church Council met again in September that year and excommunicated Hughes "Le Grand"), who made peace in 950 with Louis because he needed the support of the Church. Louis IV married Gerberge, Sister of the Emperor of the Occident Othon=Otto the Great, who bore him a son named Lothaire who eventually replaced Louis IV on the throne. Louis was fatally injured in a fall form his horse.
Married in 940: Gerberge de Saxe, daughter of Henri I, Duke de Saxe and Mathilde, Countess de Ringelheim ; Louis IV was Gerberge's second husband.
Died: on 10 Oct 954 in Reims, Champagne, France, at age 34 Louis IV is buried at Saint Remy

{geni:about_me} Louis IV (10 September 920 – 30 September 954), called d'Outremer or Transmarinus (both meaning "from overseas"), reigned as king of France from 936 to 954. He was a member of the Carolingian dynasty, the son of Charles III and Eadgifu of England, a daughter of King Edward the Elder.

Exile

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When he was only three years old, Robert died and was replaced by Rudolph, duke of Burgundy. Rudolph's ally, a Carolingian himself, Count Herbert II of Vermandois, took Charles captive by treachery and the young Louis's mother took the boy "over the sea" to the safety of England, hence his nickname.

Charles died in 929, but Rudolph ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugh the Great, who had probably organised his return to prevent Herbert II, or Rudolph's brother Hugh the Black, taking the throne.

[edit]Rise to the throne

He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Rheims, on Sunday 19 June 936. Effectively, his sovereignty was limited to the town of Laon and to some places in the north of France, Louis displayed a keenness beyond his years in obtaining the recognition of his authority by his feuding nobles. Nonetheless, his reign was filled with conflict; in particular with Hugh the Great, count of Paris.

[edit]Marriage

In 939, Louis became involved in a struggle with the Emperor Otto the Great on the question of Lorraine, but then married Otto's sister Gerberga of Saxony (914 – May 5, 984). They were parents to eight children:

Lothair of France (941-986)

[edit]Death

Louis IV fell from his horse and died September 10, 954, at Rheims, in the Marne, and is interred there at Saint Rémi Basilica.

Afastado do trono desde a morte de seu pai, somente após a morte de Raul I resolveu regressar de Inglaterra, adquirindo o apelido de d’Outremer.

Os domínios próprios do Rei restringiram-se, essencialmente, à região de Laon. Ele não tinha autoridade sobre todas as regiões ao sul do Rio Loire, pois quem reinava no sul de França e da Borgonha, era Hugo o Grande, filho de Roberto I. Luís IV morreu no dia 10 de setembro de 954, em Reims.

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When he was only three years old, Robert died and was replaced by Rudolph, duke of Burgundy. Rudolph's ally, a Carolingian himself, Count Herbert II of Vermandois, took Charles captive by treachery and the young Louis's mother took the boy "over the sea" to the safety of England, hence his nickname.

Charles died in 929, but Rudolph ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugh the Great, who had probably organised his return to prevent Herbert II, or Rudolph's brother Hugh the Black, taking the throne. He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Rheims, on Sunday 19 June 936.

Effectively, his sovereignty was limited to the town of Laon and to some places in the north of France, Louis displayed a keenness beyond his years in obtaining the recognition of his authority by his feuding nobles. Nonetheless, his reign was filled with conflict; in particular with Hugh the Great, count of Paris.

Louis IV fell from his horse and died 10 September 954, at Rheims, in the Marne, and is interred there at Saint Rémi Basilica.

In 939, Louis became involved in a struggle with the Emperor Otto the Great on the question of Lorraine, but then married Otto's sister Gerberga of Saxony (914 – 5 May 984). They were parents to eight children:

* Lothair of France (941-986)

* Mathilde b. about 943; married Conrad of Burgundy

* Hildegarde b. about 944

* Carloman b. about 945

* Louis b. about 948

* Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine (953-993)

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When he was only three years old, Robert died and was replaced by Rudolph, duke of Burgundy. Rudolph's ally, a Carolingian himself, Count Herbert II of Vermandois, took Charles captive by treachery and the young Louis's mother took the boy "over the sea" to the safety of England, hence his nickname.

[edit] Return to France

Charles died in 929, but Rudolph ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugh the Great, who had probably organised his return to prevent Herbert II, or Rudolph's brother Hugh the Black, taking the throne. He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Rheims, on Sunday 19 June 936. The chronicler Flodoard records the events as follows:

Brittones a transmarinis regionibus, Alstani regis praesidio, revertentes terram suam repetunt. Hugo comes trans mare mittit pro accersiendo ad apicem regni suscipiendum Ludowico, Karoli filio, quem rex Alstanus avunculus ipsius, accepto prius jurejurando a Francorum legatis, in Franciam cum quibusdam episcopis et aliis fidelibus suis dirigit, cui Hugo et cetero Francorum proceres obviam profecti, mox navim egresso, in ipsis littoreis harenis apud Bononiam, sese committunt, ut erant utrinque depactum. Indeque ab ipsis Laudunum deductus ac regali benedictione didatus ungitur atque coronatur a domno Artoldo archiepiscopo, praesentibus regni principibus cum episcopis xx et amplius.[1] "The Bretons, returning from the lands across the sea with the support of King Athelstan, came back to their country. Duke Hugh sent across the sea to summon Louis, son of Charles, to be received as king, and King Athelstan, his uncle, first taking oaths from the legates of the Franks, sent him to the Frankish kingdom with some of his bishops, and other followers. Hugh and the other nobles of the Franks went to meet him and committed themselves to him[;] immediately he disembarked on the sands of Boulogne, as had been agreed on both sides. From there he was conducted by them to Laon, and, endowed with the royal benediction, he was anointed and crowned by the lord Archbishop Artold, in the presence of the chief men of his kingdom, with 20 bishops."[2]

Effectively, his sovereignty was limited to the town of Laon and to some places in the north of France, Louis displayed a keenness beyond his years in obtaining the recognition of his authority by his feuding nobles. Nonetheless, his reign was filled with conflict; in particular with Hugh the Great, count of Paris.

Louis IV fell from his horse and died 10 September 954, at Rheims, in the Marne, and is interred there at Saint Rémi Basilica.

From http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps05/ps05_315.htm

King of France from 936 to 954 who spent most of his reign struggling against his powerful vassal Hugh the Great.

When Louis's father, Charles III the Simple, was imprisoned in 923, his mother, Eadgifu, daughter of the Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Elder, took Louis to England. He was recalled to France in 936 and crowned on June 19 at Laon by Artand, archbishop of Reims, who became Louis's chief supporter against Hugh the Great. Louis proved not to be the puppet monarch that Hugh had anticipated; he even moved from Paris to Laon to avoid Hugh's influence. When Hugh and Herbert of Vermandois seized Reims and attacked Laon in 940, Louis valiantly defended his city; but because of Louis's earlier interference in Lorraine the German king, Otto I, sent aid to the rebels. Louis appeared to be totally defeated in 941, but he made peace with Otto in November 942 at Vise on the Meuse, and Hugh and he were reconciled after Herbert, Hugh's chief supporter, died in 943.

In 945, while intervening in Norman politics, Louis was captured and handed over to Hugh, who imprisoned him for a year. On his release, Louis closely allied himself with Otto to retake Reims in 946. In 949 Louis again received control of Laon, and Hugh, excommunicated by French and German synods and by the Pope, made a peace in 951 that lasted until Louis's death.

Ludwig IV. der Überseeische (lateinisch Transmarinus, französisch Louis IV d'Outre-Mer; * zwischen 10. September 920 und 10. September 921; † 10. September 954 in Reims[1]) war westfränkischer König von 936 bis 954. Er stammte aus dem Geschlecht der Karolinger, der Königsdynastie des westfränkischen Reichs, die damals bereits sehr geschwächt und vom Wohlwollen mächtiger Adelsgruppen abhängig war.

Leben [Bearbeiten]

Ludwig war der Sohn König Karls III. des Einfältigen und dessen zweiter Frau Eadgifu, einer Tochter König Eduards des Älteren von Wessex. Karl musste sich mit Gegenkönigen auseinandersetzen, die keine Karolinger waren und den Herrschaftsanspruch der Karolingerdynastie nicht anerkannten. Als Graf Heribert II. von Vermandois, der auf der Seite des Gegenkönigs Rudolf von Burgund stand, im Jahr 923 Karl den Einfältigen in eine Falle lockte und gefangensetzte, floh Eadgifu mit dem erst zweijährigen Ludwig nach England. Dort wuchs Ludwig am Hof seines Großvaters Eduard und später seines Onkels Æthelstan auf. Im Westfrankenreich regierte nunmehr allein Rudolf von Burgund, der jedoch auf die Unterstützung des mächtigen Geschlechts der Robertiner angewiesen war, während Heribert II. weiterhin den gefangenen Karl als Faustpfand behielt, um auf König Rudolf Druck auszuüben. 929 starb Karl in der Haft. Als im Januar 936 König Rudolf starb, ohne einen Sohn zu hinterlassen, kam bei der Regelung der Nachfolge dem mächtigen Robertiner Hugo dem Großen eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Hugo, dessen Vater Robert I. bereits Westfrankenkönig gewesen war, hätte selbst nach der Krone greifen können, zog es aber vor, zur Karolingerdynastie zurückzukehren, die durch Karls Schicksal einen schweren Macht- und Ansehensverlust erlitten hatte. Er wollte einem relativ machtlosen Karolinger die Königswürde überlassen, um selbst die Reichspolitik aus dem Hintergrund zu lenken. Daher verhandelte er mit Æthelstan und Eadgifu über die Rückkehr Ludwigs. Hugo war ein Schwager von Æthelstan und Eadgifu, da er damals mit einer Schwester Eadgifus verheiratet war. Man einigte sich und der erst fünfzehnjährige Ludwig landete in Boulogne, wo Hugo ihn empfing und ihm huldigte.

Am 19. Juni 936 wurde Ludwig IV. in Laon von Erzbischof Artold von Reims zum westfränkischen König gekrönt. Im Gegenzug musste er Hugo eine einzigartige Sonderstellung im Reich einräumen. Hugo erhielt den eigens für ihn geschaffenen Rang eines „Herzogs der Franken“ (dux Francorum), und bereits in einer Königsurkunde von 936 stellte Ludwig fest, er handle auf den Rat „unseres geliebtesten Hugo, des Frankenherzogs, der in allen unseren Reichen der Zweite nach uns ist“. Damit war Hugo nicht mehr nur, wie frühere Robertiner, als Markgraf und Graf für große Gebiete zuständig, in denen dem König kein direktes Eingreifen mehr möglich war, sondern er stand „in allen Reichen“, also in sämtlichen Teilen des Westfrankenreichs, zwischen dem König und den nachrangigen Vasallen. Der Titel „Herzog der Franken“ wurde somit in bewusster Analogie zu „König der Franken“ auf das Gesamtreich bezogen (obwohl im engeren Sinn nur ein bestimmter Reichsteil, das Hugo dem Großen verliehene Herzogtum Franzien, gemeint war). Damit wurde Ludwig faktisch auf die Rolle eines nominellen Königs reduziert und der Robertiner beanspruchte eine Stellung, die mit derjenigen der karolingischen Hausmeier im späten Merowingerreich vergleichbar war.

In den ersten Monaten seiner Regierung war Ludwig völlig von Hugo dem Großen abhängig und musste ihn auf einem erfolgreichen Feldzug gegen Hugo den Schwarzen von Burgund begleiten, wobei Hugo der Große sich nordburgundische Gebiete und insbesondere die Stadt Sens aneignete. 937 machte sich Ludwig jedoch von seinem "Vormund" unabhängig und begann eine selbständige, gegen die Übermacht des Robertiners gerichtete Politik zu betreiben. Dabei stützte er sich auf Vornehme, die ebenfalls die robertinische Expansion eindämmen wollten, darunter Erzbischof Artold von Reims, den Ludwig zu seinem Kanzler machte, und Hugo der Schwarze, mit dem er ein Bündnis schloss. Darauf reagierte Hugo der Große seinerseits mit neuen Bündnissen. Er verbündete sich mit Heribert II. und sicherte sich ein gutes Verhältnis zu Otto dem Großen, dessen Schwester Hadwig er heiratete, nachdem seine englische Frau, Ludwigs Tante, gestorben war. Damit bahnte sich ein Gegensatz zwischen Ludwig und Otto an, und als sich die Herzöge Giselbert von Lothringen und Eberhard von Franken gegen Otto den Großen erhoben, unterstellten sie sich Ludwig. Dadurch schien sich dem Karolinger eine Chance zu bieten, das karolingische Stammland Lothringen, das nach der Entmachtung Karls des Einfältigen in den Hoheitsbereich des ostfränkischen Reichs geraten war, zurückzugewinnen. Er gedachte militärisch einzugreifen und stieß ins Elsass vor, doch kam ihm Otto zuvor, der am 2. Oktober 939 Giselbert in der Schlacht von Andernach besiegte und damit die Zukunft Lothringens entschied. Giselbert ertrank auf der Flucht und Ludwig heiratete Giselberts Witwe Gerberga, eine Schwester Ottos des Großen. Nunmehr waren sowohl König Ludwig als auch sein Gegenspieler Hugo der Große mit Otto verschwägert und Otto konnte eine Schiedsrichterrolle zwischen den beiden Rivalen einnehmen und für ein Machtgleichgewicht zwischen ihnen sorgen. Zunächst stand Otto wegen des lothringischen Konflikts ganz auf der Seite Hugos des Großen. Er unternahm 940 einen Feldzug ins Westfrankenreich, um Ludwig zu bestrafen. In der Pfalz Attigny nahm er die Huldigung von Hugo dem Großen und Heribert II. entgegen. Die beiden hatten schon zuvor die Stadt Reims erobert und dort den Erzbischof Artold, einen der wichtigsten Getreuen Ludwigs, abgesetzt. Otto stieß auch nach Burgund vor, um Ludwigs dortigen Verbündeten, Hugo den Schwarzen, vor militärischen Aktionen zu warnen. 942 empfing Otto seine Schwäger Ludwig und Hugo in Visé an der Maas. Es wurde ein allgemeiner Ausgleich erzielt. Ludwig musste auf Lothringen verzichten.

Die Lage änderte sich zugunsten Ludwigs, als Ende 942 Graf Wilhelm I. Langschwert von Rouen, der Machthaber der Normandie, ermordet wurde und Anfang 943 Heribert II. starb. Heriberts Söhne stritten um die Erbschaft und in der Normandie war der Erbe, der künftige Herzog Richard I., noch unmündig. Ludwig nutzte diese Gelegenheit, um in der Normandie einzugreifen und dort seine königliche Autorität militärisch geltend zu machen. In den Kämpfen gegen seine normannischen Gegner geriet Ludwig jedoch im Juli 945 in einen Hinterhalt. Er konnte zunächst fliehen, wurde dann aber gefangengenommen. Die Normannen lieferten ihn an Hugo den Großen aus. Hugo behielt ihn in Gefangenschaft und forderte als Preis für die Freilassung, dass Ludwig auf die Stadt Laon, sein Machtzentrum, verzichte. Königin Gerberga sah sich gezwungen, Laon einem Vasallen Hugos zu übergeben. Im Sommer 946 kam Ludwig frei.

Diese schwere Demütigung Ludwigs erinnerte an das Schicksal seines Vaters Karl und bedeutete nicht nur für ihn persönlich, sondern auch für das Königtum als solches einen dramatischen Prestigeverlust. Das lag nicht im Interesse Ottos des Großen, der nun auf Bitten seiner Schwester Gerberga eingriff, um der Übermacht Hugos entgegenzuwirken. Im Herbst 946 zog ein großes Heer Ottos nach Westen und vereinte sich mit den Ludwig treuen Kräften. Hugo vermied eine Feldschlacht. Seine Truppen verschanzten sich in den Städten. Das Heer der beiden Könige konnte Laon, Senlis, Paris und Rouen nicht einnehmen, doch gelang ihnen die Eroberung von Reims, wo sie den vertriebenen Erzbischof Artold wieder einsetzten. Im Juni 948 traten in Ingelheim westfränkische, lothringische und ostfränkische Bischöfe unter dem Vorsitz eines päpstlichen Legaten in Gegenwart Ottos und Ludwigs zu einer Synode zusammen und verurteilten Hugo sowohl wegen seines Vorgehens gegen Ludwig als auch wegen der Vertreibung Artolds aus Reims. 949 konnte Ludwig die Stadt Laon in einem nächtlichen Überraschungsangriff zurückerobern; nur die Zitadelle blieb in der Hand von Hugos Kräften. 950 vermittelte Herzog Konrad der Rote von Lothringen im Auftrag Ottos des Großen einen Friedensschluss zwischen Ludwig und Hugo. Nun übergab Hugo dem König die Zitadelle von Laon.

Am 10. September 954 starb Ludwig in Reims an den Folgen eines Sturzes vom Pferd und wurde dort in der Basilika Saint-Remi begraben.

Familie [Bearbeiten]

Ludwig heiratete 939 Gerberga († 5. Mai 968 oder 969), die Tochter des deutschen Königs Heinrich I. (Liudolfinger) und Witwe des Herzogs Giselbert von Lothringen. Mit ihr hatte er sieben Kinder:

* Lothar (941–986), König von Frankreich ∞ 966 Emma von Italien, Tochter des Königs Lothar II. von Italien

* Mathilde (* Ende 943, † nach 26. November 981) ∞ um 964 Konrad III. König von Burgund († 993) (Welfen)

* Karl (* Januar 945, † vor 953)

* eine Tochter (Name nicht überliefert) (* Anfang 948)

* Ludwig (* Dezember 948, † vor 10. September 954)

* Karl (953–nach 991), Herzog von Niederlothringen (977-991), Zwillingsbruder Heinrichs

* Heinrich (* Sommer 953, † bald nach der Taufe), Zwillingsbruder Karls von Niederlothringen

Gerberga erhielt 951 die Abtei Notre-Dame in Laon von ihrer Schwiegermutter und wurde 959 Äbtissin von Notre-Dame in Soissons.

[edit] Early years across the sea

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When he was only three years old, Robert died and was replaced by Rudolph, duke of Burgundy. Rudolph's ally, a Carolingian himself, Count Herbert II of Vermandois, took Charles captive by treachery and the young Louis's mother took the boy "over the sea" to the safety of England, hence his nickname.

[edit] Return to France

Charles died in 929, but Rudolph ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugh the Great, who had probably organised his return to prevent Herbert II, or Rudolph's brother Hugh the Black, taking the throne. He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Rheims, on Sunday 19 June 936. The chronicler Flodoard records the events as follows:

Brittones a transmarinis regionibus, Alstani regis praesidio, revertentes terram suam repetunt.

Effectively, his sovereignty was limited to the town of Laon and to some places in the north of France, Louis displayed a keenness beyond his years in obtaining the recognition of his authority by his feuding nobles.

Louis IV fell from his horse and died 10 September 954, at Rheims, in the Marne, and is interred there at Saint Rémi Basilica.

Marriage and children

In 939, Louis became involved in a struggle with the Emperor Otto the Great on the question of Lorraine, but then married Otto's sister Gerberga of Saxony (914 – 5 May 984). They were parents to eight children:

* Lothair of France (941-986)

* Mathilde b. about 943; married Conrad of Burgundy

* Hildegarde b. about 944

* Carloman b. about 945

Louis IV (10 September 920 – 30 September 954), called d'Outremer or Transmarinus (both meaning "from overseas"), reigned as King of Western Francia from 936 to 954. He was a member of the Carolingian dynasty, the son of Charles III and Eadgifu of England, a daughter of King Edward the Elder.

[edit] Early years across the sea

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When he was only three years old, Robert died and was replaced by Rudolph, duke of Burgundy. Rudolph's ally, a Carolingian himself, Count Herbert II of Vermandois, took Charles captive by treachery and the young Louis's mother took the boy "over the sea" to the safety of England, hence his nickname.

[edit] Return to France

Charles died in 929, but Rudolph ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugh the Great, who had probably organised his return to prevent Herbert II, or Rudolph's brother Hugh the Black, taking the throne. He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Rheims, on Sunday 19 June 936. The chronicler Flodoard records the events as follows:

Brittones a transmarinis regionibus, Alstani regis praesidio, revertentes terram suam repetunt. Hugo comes trans mare mittit pro accersiendo ad apicem regni suscipiendum Ludowico, Karoli filio, quem rex Alstanus avunculus ipsius, accepto prius jurejurando a Francorum legatis, in Franciam cum quibusdam episcopis et aliis fidelibus suis dirigit, cui Hugo et cetero Francorum proceres obviam profecti, mox navim egresso, in ipsis littoreis harenis apud Bononiam, sese committunt, ut erant utrinque depactum. Indeque ab ipsis Laudunum deductus ac regali benedictione didatus ungitur atque coronatur a domno Artoldo archiepiscopo, praesentibus regni principibus cum episcopis xx et amplius.[1] "The Bretons, returning from the lands across the sea with the support of King Athelstan, came back to their country.

Louis d'Outremer

--------------------

Acceded: 936

King of the west Franks. Also known by the nickname d'Outre-Mer or Transmarinus. Son of King Charles III "the Simplex" and his second wife Edgiva of Wessex, the older sister of Edith of Wessex. He spend his childhood with his mother at his grandfathers court in England. She had fled there after the Duke of Vermandois had imprisoned his father. In 936 Duke Hugh "the Great" called him back to France. On June 19th he was crowned King in Laon. In the fall of 939 he married the seven years older sister of Emperor Otto I, Gerberge. In the beginning the relationship with Hugh was serene. They fought together against Hugh "the Black," but the peace contract the two Hugh's signed opened Louis' eyes about the role his friend had appointed for him - the role of Hugh's marionette. The following conflict between the two lasted during much of his reign. In 946 he was imprisoned by Hugh, but was released after Otto I and Louis grandfather had pressured Hugh. For his release Louis had to hand over Laon. In 948 during a synod in Ingelheim Hugh was excommunicated. With Otto's support he was able to re-conquer Laon. In 953 the two reconciled in Soissons. On his way from Laon to Reims he hunted a wolf, fell from his horse and died from inner injuries.

Louis IV was called Transmarinus because he was taken to Germany to protect him from the Nobles who were in Rebellion. He was recalled to serve as King again. It looks a lot like he was the true last King within the Carolingian bloodline because Otto the Great, his brother-in-law wrested away the title of Emperor of Rome from him.

Ludvig IV "Ultramarinus"Louis IV, King of France (Louis d'Outremer) {doo-truh-mair'} Louis d'Outremer ("from overseas"), b. 921, d. Sept. 10, 954, was king of France from 936. Son of King CHARLES III (Charles the Simple), he was taken to England as a child by his mother Eadgifu, daughter of the Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Elder. Recalled to France to succeed King Raoul (r. 923-36), Louis struggled against Hugh the Great, count of Paris, through most of his reign. While attempting to conquer Normandy, he was captured in 945 and became Hugh's prisoner until 946. With the aid of the German king OTTO I, he eventually defeated Hugh, who made peace in 950.

"D'OUTREMER"; KING OF FRANCE

Afastado do trono desde a morte de seu pai, somente após a morte de Raul I resolveu regressar de Inglaterra, adquirindo o apelido de d’Outremer.
Os domínios próprios do Rei restringiram-se, essencialmente, à região de Laon. Ele não tinha autoridade sobre todas as regiões ao sul do Rio Loire, pois quem reinava no sul de França e da Borgonha, era Hugo o Grande, filho de Roberto I.

Byname Louis D'Outremer (Louis from Overseas), king of France from 936 to954 who spent most of his reign struggling against his powerful vassalHugh the Great. "When Louis's father, Charles III the Simple, wasimprisoned in 923, his mother, Eadgifu, daughter of the Anglo-Saxon kingEdward the Elder, took Louis to England. He was recalled to France in 936and crowned on June 19 at Laon by Artand, Bishop of Reims, who becameLouis's chief supporter against Hugh the Great. Louis proved not to bethe puppet monarch that Hugh had anticipated; he even moved from Paris toLaon to avoid Hugh's influence. When Hugh and Herbnert of Vermandiosseized Reims and attacked Laon in 940, Louis
valiantly defended his city; but because of Louis's earlier interferencein Lorraine the German king, Otto I, sent aid to the rebels. Louisappeared to be totally defeated in 941, but he made peace with Otto inNovember 942 at Vise on the Meuse, and Hugh and he were reconciled afterHerbert, Hugh's chief
supporter, died in 943. "In 945 while intervening in Norman politics,Louis was captured and handed
over to Hugh, who imprisoned him for a year. On his release, Louisclosely allied himself with Otto to retake Reims in 946. In 949 Louisagain received control of Laon, and Hugh, Excommunicated by French andGerman synods and by the Pope, made a peace in 951 that lasted untilLouis's death.

BIOGRAPHY
Louis was born about 920, the son of Charles III 'the Simple', king of France, and Eadgifu of Wessex, a daughter of Edward 'the Elder', king of England. Called 'd'Outremer' or 'Transmarinus' ('from overseas'), he reigned as king of France from 936 to 954. He was member of the Carolingian dynasty.

He was only two years old when his father was deposed by the nobles, who set up Robert I in his place. When Louis was only three, Robert died and was replaced by Raoul, duke of Burgundy. Raoul's ally Heribert II, comte de Vermandois, took Charles III captive by treachery and the young Louis' mother took the boy 'over the sea' to the safety of England, hence his epithet.

Charles III died in 929, but Raoul ruled on until 936, when Louis was summoned back to France unanimously by the nobles, especially Hugues 'the Great', duke of The Franks and count of Paris, who had probably organised his return to prevent Heribert II, or Raoul's brother Hugues 'the Black', taking the throne.

He was crowned king at Laon by Artald, archbishop of Reims, on Sunday 19 June 936. Effectively, his sovereignty was limited to the town of Laon and to some places in the north of France, but Louis displayed a keenness beyond his years in obtaining the recognition of his authority by his feuding nobles. Nonetheless, his reign was filled with conflict, in particular with Hugues 'the Great'.

In 939 Louis became involved in a struggle with the Emperor Otto I 'the Great' on the question of Lorraine, but then he married Otto's sister Gerberga von Sachsen, the widow of Giselbert II of Lorraine. Louis and Gerberga had eight children of whom three would have progeny. In November 942 he lost Lorraine and part of Burgundy. On 13 July 945 at Rouen he was captured by the Vikings who handed him over to Hugues 'the Great'. After his release he settled at Compiègne on 1 July 946.

Louis was about thirty-four when he died, on 10 September 954 in Reims, after a fall from his horse. He is interred at the basilica of Saint Rémi in Reims. His widow became regent for their son. In 959 she became abbess of Notre Dame in Soissons. She died in Reims on 5 May 984.
