Lothair I Emperor of the Romans
(Ben M. Angel reminds yet again - the entity that became the Holy Roman Empire did not exist before 962, therefore there was no Holy Roman Emperor nor Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire before that date. This individual predates the existence of the Holy Roman Empire by almost two centuries. Please review the English Wikipedia article on the Holy Roman Empire before attempting to change this yet again. This and other Frankish Empire rulers are on my watch list.)
son of Louis I "the Pious" and his wife Ermengard
LOTHAIRE, son of Emperor LOUIS I "der Fromme/le Pieux" & his first wife Ermengard (795-Kloster Prâºm 29 Sep 855, bur Kloster Prâºm).¬â Thegan's¬â Vita Hludowici Imperatoris¬â names (in order) "Hlutharius, Pippinus, Hludowicus" sons of Emperor Louis I & his wife Ermengard[8].¬â His father sent him to govern Bavaria in [Aug] 814[9].¬â He was crowned joint¬â Emperor LOTHAIRE I¬â in Jul 817 at Aachen, ruling jointly with his father.¬â 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.¬â The¬â Annales¬â Xantenses¬â record that "Ludewicus imperator" gave "filio suo Lothario regnum Langobardorum" in 822[10].¬â Einhard's¬â Annales¬â record that the emperor sent "Walahum monachum propinquum suum [imperatoris] fratrem·Ä¶Adalhardi abbatis" to Italy in 822 with "Hlotharius·Ä¶filium suum"[11].¬â He was again crowned Emperor, at Rome 5 Apr 823 by Pope Pascal I.¬â The rivalry with his father and brothers was exacerbated by the unexpected birth of his half-brother Charles in 823.¬â 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.¬â Lothaire and his brothers rebelled in Mar 830, captured their father at Compiâ®gne, and forced him to revert to the constitutional arrangements decided in 817.¬â 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.¬â A further revolt of the brothers followed.¬â Emperor Louis was defeated and deposed by his sons at Compiâ®gne 1 Oct 833.¬â He was exiled to the monastery of Saint-Mâ©dard de Soissons.¬â 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.¬â Emperor Louis was restored 1 Mar 834, crowned once more at Metz 28 Feb 835.¬â Lothaire captured Chalon-sur-Saâ¥ne, but was arrested by his father's troops near Chouzy.¬â His father pardoned him and sent him back to Italy as king.¬â 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.¬â Lothaire succeeded as sole emperor on his father·Äôs death 20 Jun 840.¬â He sought to extend his power base northwards from Italy across the Alps, and deprive his half-brother Charles.¬â The latter allied himself with his half-brother Louis, and together they defeated Lothaire at Fontenoy-en-Puisaye, near Auxerre 25 Jun 841.¬â After retreating to Aachen, Lothaire was forced out to Lyon in Apr 842 by his brothers, who declared him incapable of governing the empire.¬â Preliminary peace proposals signed on an island in the Saâ¥ne, near Mâ¢con 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.¬â Lothaire retained the imperial title and was also installed as¬â 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.¬â He established his seat of government at Aachen, and installed his son Louis as King of Italy.¬â Over the following ten years, a series of meetings aimed to maintain peace between the three brothers, with varying success.¬â After a serious illness, Emperor Lothaire abdicated in Sep 855 at Kloster Schâºller, near Prâºm, and divided his territories between his sons Louis II, Lothaire II and Charles.¬â The¬â Annales Bertiniani¬â record that Emperor Lothaire entered "monasterium Proneⶠin Arduenna", was tonsured, died "IV Kal Oct" and was buried in the monastery[12].¬â The necrology of Prâºm records the death "855 III Kal Oct" of "Lotharius imperator"[13].¬â

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 "filiumဦKarlomannum"[18].‰

d)‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ERMENGARDE‰ (-6 Aug after [895/898], bur Lucca, Santa Giustina).‰ Her epitaph at Lucca records the death "VIII Id Aug" of "Ermingardisဦdicata deo" as daughter of "rexဦLotharius"[72].‰ Nun at Santa Giustina in Lucca.‰ ‰ Gingins-la-Sarra suggests that Ermengarde was the wife of‰ Berlion‰ [I]‰ Vicomte de Vienne, suggesting that she went to Provence with her sister Berta who married Thibaut Comte d´Arles[73].‰ He says that the charter dated 25 Dec 923, under which လLudwicusဦimperator augustusဝ confirmed property လin comitatu Viennensi seu et in Lugdunensi in villaဦTadernacoဝ to လIngelbertusဦet uxori eius Nonieဝ (Engelbert being this couple´s son)[74], refers to Engelbert as လpropinquusဝ of the emperor.‰ He says that the term was never used in charters which name Berlion [I] and therefore deduces that the relationship must have been through Engelbert´s mother.‰ However, the text of the charter in question does not appear to apply the word လpropinquusဝ specifically to Engelbert.‰ It is used in the phrase လpropinquorum et fidelium suorumဝ, as part of the introductory words in the charter, while Engelbert is named in the document as လfidelis nosterဝ.‰ There appears to be no other basis for this speculation.‰ If the hypothesis were correct, it would be difficult to explain why Ermengarde would have left Provence (presumably after the death of her supposed husband, dated to [912]) and established herself as a nun at Lucca, while her two sons remained in Provence.‰
7.¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ¬â ROTRUDE¬â (chr Pavia [835/40]-).¬â The baptism of Rotrudis daughter of Lothaire is recorded at Pavia in [835/40][75].¬â [same person as·Ä¶?¬â ¬â ROTRUDE¬â .¬â "Witbertus·Ä¶comes" donated property at Ornois to the abbey of Tournus, for the souls of "Lanberti genitoris mei necnon et Rutrudis genetricis meâ¶", by charter dated 28 Jan 870[76].¬â 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[77].¬â However, the copy of the charter reproduced in the¬â Histoire de Tournus, cited above, states that the property had been donated to Wicbert by "senioris mei Hlotharii Regis".¬â ¬â m¬â ([850/51])¬â 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).]¬â
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[78].‰ His father invested him in Sep 855 with Provence, Lyon and Transjuranian Burgundy.‰ ‰ ‰ ‰
