But Louis the Pious had another trick up his sleeve. The brothers overpowered their father in 833 AD, and sent him, as well as Charles and Judith, to different monasteries in the kingdom. Lothair was enraged with this new arrangement, so he convinced his brothers to go up against their father, and a civil war erupted in the Carolingian Empire in 830 AD. Louis was fond of his youngest son, so he took away a sizable portion of Lothair’s land located north of Italy known as Alemannia and gave it to the young prince. “The parting of Carolingian Empire by the Treaty of Verdun in 843.” But Louis’ marriage to Judith of Bavaria (after his first wife’s death in 818) and the birth of their son Charles in 823 (later nicknamed the Landless) became the catalyst for the empire’s final division. Charlemagne also conquered people of different ethnicities and languages, so it made sense that these peoples had different ethnic loyalties-a situation ripe for civil war by the time Louis divided the empire between his three sons.
The empire’s massive size made communication difficult, its cities easy pickings for marauders, and harder to defend from invaders. The Carolingian Empire, at the time of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious’ reign, stretched from the Atlantic coast of present-day France to Bavaria in the east, and from Saxony in the north up to the duchies of Spoleto and Benevento in the south. Charlemagne died in 814 AD, and Louis, the newly crowned Holy Roman Emperor also partitioned the Frankish domain between his sons: the oldest, Lothair, crowned as king of Italy another son, Louis, received Bavaria and Pepin, the youngest of the three, received his father’s territory of Aquitaine. The Frankish emperor had no choice but to appoint Louis as sole ruler of the empire who ruled as a sub-king of Aquitaine for some years now. Only Louis the Pious was alive in 811 AD.
