Louis I (Holy Roman Empire), called The Pious (778-840), Holy Roman
emperor (814-840), king of France (814-840), king of Germany (814-840),
and king of Aquitaine (781-840). He was the son and sole successor of
Charlemagne. In 817 Louis made plans for an orderly succession among his
sons: Lothair I, Louis II (Louis the German), and Pepin of Aquitaine.
Later he wanted to include in the succession Charles II (Charles the
Bald), his son by a second marriage. Dissatisfied, his older sons
rebelled (830, 833) against him and fought among themselves for supremacy
as well. Pepin died in 838, and in 843 the empire was divided among the
three surviving brothers (see VERDUN, TREATY OF)."Louis I (Holy Roman
