Noter til. Pepin I of Aquitaine, 797 - 13-12-838 Index

Noter:
Wikipedia: Pepin I was King of Aquitaine and Duke of Maine.
Pepin was the second son of Emperor Louis the Pious and his first wife, Ermengarde of Hesbaye. When his father assigned to each of his sons a kingdom (within the Empire) in August 817, he received Aquitaine, which had been Louis's own subkingdom during his father Charlemagne's reign. Ermoldus Nigellus was his court poet and accompanied him on a campaign into Brittany in 824.
Pepin rebelled in 830 at the insistence of his brother Lothair's advisor Wala. He took an army of Gascons with him and marched all the way to Paris, with the support of the Neustrians. His father marched back from a campaign in Brittany all the way to Compiègne, where Pepin surrounded his forces and captured him. The rebellion, however, broke up.
In 832, Pepin rebelled again and his brother Louis the German soon followed. Louis the Pious was in Aquitaine to subdue any revolt, but was drawn off by the Bavarian insurrection of the younger Louis. Pepin took Limoges and other Imperial territories. The next year, Lothair joined the rebellion and, with the assistance of Ebbo, archbishop of Reims, the rebel sons deposed their father in 833. Lothair's later behaviour alienated Pepin, and the latter was at his father's side when Louis the Pious was reinstated on 1 March 834. Pepin was restored to his former status.
Pepin died scarcely four years later and was buried in Sainte-Croix in Poitiers.
In 822, he had married Ingeltrude, daughter of Theodobert, count of Madrie, with whom he had two sons: Pepin (823-after 864), and Charles (825-830 - 4 June 863), who became archbishop of Mainz.
Both were minors when Pepin died, so Louis the Pious awarded Aquitaine to his own youngest son, Pepin's half-brother Charles the Bald. The Aquitainians, however, elected Pepin's son as Pepin II. His brother Charles also briefly claimed the kingdom. Both died childless.

Noter til. Henry of Franconia, - CA 886 Index

Noter:
Wikipedia: Henry, possibly a son or grandson of Count Poppo of Grapfeld, one of the first Babenbergs, was the most important East Frankish general during the reign of Charles the Fat. He was variously titled Count or Margrave of Saxony and Duke of Franconia.
Henry was the ancestral lord of a castle, Babenberg, on the River Main, around which the later city of Bamberg was built. He enjoyed the favour of Charles the Fat and was his right-hand man in Germany during his reign. He led a surprise strike on a force of Vikings prior to the Siege of Asselt, but it was unsuccessful. When, in 885, Charles summoned Hugh, Duke of Alsace, and Godfrey, Duke of Frisia, to a court at Lobith, it was Henry who arrested them and had Godfrey executed and Hugh imprisoned on Charles' orders.
In 884, when Charles succeeded to the throne of West Francia, he sent Henry there to hold the March of Neustria against the Vikings. In 886, he was sent to aid the besieged of Paris. He did not stay long but returned later that year with Charles. However, he died in a skirmish with the Vikings while en route.

Noter til. Berengar I of Italy, 845 - 07-04-924 Index

Noter:
Wikipedia: Berengar 1 Berengar af Friuli, siden han regerede Friuli-marchen fra 874 til mindst 890, men han havde mistet kontrollen over regionen i 896.

Berengar rejste sig til at blive en af de mest indflydelsesrige lægmænd i Karl den Fedes imperium, og han blev valgt til at erstatte Karl i Italien efter sidstnævntes afsættelse i november 887. Hans lange regeringstid på 36 år førte til modstand mod ham af ikke mindre end syv andre krav på den italienske trone. Hans regeringstid er normalt karakteriseret som urolig på grund af de mange konkurrenter om kronen og på grund af ankomsten af Magyar-raiders til Vesteuropa. Han blev efterfulgt efter et 38-årigt interregnum, da kejser Otto I blev kronet i 962.
