ODACRE [Audacer/Odoscer ([800/10]-837). The Genealogia Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana, dated to the second decade of the 12th century, names "Audacrum" as son of "Ingelrannus"[32]. Lambert's Genealogia Comitum Flandri?, also dated to the early 12th century, names "Audacer" as son of "Ingelramnus comitem"[33]. His birth date range is estimated on the basis of the estimated birth date range of his son. The Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin records the death in 837 of "Audacer item saltuarius", naming him third in its list of rulers of Flanders (without the title count), although it does not specify that Enguerrand was his father[34]. It is interesting to note that this list makes no mention of who ruled Flanders between the death of Odacre and the appointment of his son Baudouin as count. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 836 of "Lidricus comes", specifying that he was buried at "Arlabeka"[35]. As mentioned above, it is unlikely that this entry refers to Lideric, assuming that it is correctly dated, and may be an error for Odacre.] m ---.

Charles was the youngest son of Louis I, the Emperor of Germany and the Holy Roman Empire whose territories included France. When Louis died in 840, his three sons fought over how the empire would be divided among them. The empire (which had come from his father Charlemegne) was divided according to the Treaty of Verdun in 843 and Charles received the western part of the empire thus becoming the first to rule France as a separate kingdom.
Charles had many battles on many sides to fight. He was besieged by the constant raiding of the Norsemen (called Normans in France) who he bribed so they would leave. The Bretons revolted against him and even Charles' own half-brothers and their sons fought against him. Louis, "The German", one of Charles' half-brothers, fought him for control of Lotharingia and finally forced Charles to share it. However, Charles was able to outsmart Louis and won control of Italy and the Roman Empire.
When Charles' nephew, Lothair II, died, Louis and Charles seized control of his lands and split it between them in the Treaty of Meersen in 870.
In 875, after the death of another nephew, Emperor Louis II, Charles was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on December 25th by Pope John VIII. A year later, Louis "The German" died and Charles invaded Germany but he was defeated by Louis' son, Louis "The Younger". Charles attacked Italy in 877 but was forced to retreat in order to attend to other rebellions and uprisings. He died on his way home from Italy.

Charles married Ermentrude (Irmtrud) De ORL?ANS, Countess Of Orleans on 13 Dec 842 in Crecy, France. Ermentrude (daughter of Eudes DE ORLEANS, Count Of Orleans and Orleans/ Ingeltrude DE PARIS, Countess Of Orleans) was born on 27 Sep 830 in Orl?ans, Loiret, France; died on 6 Oct 869 in Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France.

ENGUERRAND ([760/80]-825). The Genealogia Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana, dated to the second decade of the 12th century, names "Ingelramnum" as son of "Lidricus Harlebeccensis comes"[23]. Lambert's Genealogia Comitum Flandri?, also dated to the early 12th century, names "Ingelramnus comitem" as son of "Lidricus Harlebeccensis comes"[24]. The Chronica Monasterii Sancti Bertini names "Ingelramnum, militem probum et prudentem" as son of "miles?Liedricus" and his wife, noting that he succeeded his father in Flanders[25]. His wide birth date range shown above is estimated by working backwards from the estimated birth date range of his supposed grandson Count Baudouin I. The Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin records the death in 825 of "Engerranus Harlebecanus etiam saltuarius", naming him second in its list of rulers of Flanders (without the title count), although it does not specify that Lideric was his father[26]. Stewart Baldwin, in his detailed analysis of the alleged ancestors of Baudouin I Count of Flanders referred to above, suggests that there is confusion between this Count Enguerrand and the Count Enguerrand who is named in several different contemporary sources between 853 and 875[27]. The editor of the MGH Scriptores series suggests that the later references "cannot be other than to the son of Lideric"[28]. However, this is impossible chronologically, assuming that the genealogy as set out in this document is correct. The only likely possibilities appear to be either that the earlier Enguerrand did not exist at all or that there were two individuals with the same name. The later Enguerrand and his family are shown in the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY. m ---. The name and origin of the wife of Enguerrand are unknown. Enguerrand & his wife had one child

BIOGRAPHY: Louis I (Holy Roman Empire), called 'The Pious' (778-840). 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), Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Alias: Louis the /Pious/, Ludwig the Pious Custom Field:<_FA#> BET. 781 - 814King of Aquitaine Custom Field:<_FA#> BET. 814 - 840King of Franks/Franki sh Emperor Louis was crowned king of Aquitaine in 781 to slow rebellion after Charlemagne's defeat in Spain by the Saracen Moslems. In 793, the Saracens in vaded Aquitaine under Caliph Hisham. In 795, the Spanish March was created wi th William as its Count. The next year, King Louis and Count William defeated the Saracens and secured the Frankish-held areas of northeast Spain. The con tinued to fight the Saracens until 813 when all of Navarre was conquered by Wi lliam and Louis. In 806, Charlemagne wrote in his will that his sons Louis, Cha rles, and Pepin would divide the Empire on his death. Pepin died in 810 and Charles followed in 811. By 813, Byzantine nobles came to Charlemagne to reco gnize him as Emperor (he was 69 years old), and so he ordered Louis to come fr om Aquitaine to be crowned co-Emperor and designated successor. When Charlema gne died in 814, Louis succeeded to all thrones. Louis put his son, Pepin, on t he throne of Aquitaine, made Lothar co-Emperor, and made his son, Louis, king of Bavaria. Louis "the Pious" first reformed the court in a "moral purge" by sending all of the unmarried princesses to nunneries and sending Charlemagne's three illegitimate sons to monasteries. He then put down a rebellion in Ita ly. When his wife, Irmengard/Ermengard, died, he remarried "Black Judith" of the Alamanic race of the Welfs. He'd already made his three sons, Pepin, Loui s, and Lothar his successors. However, when his son, Charles, was born in 823 , he tried desperately to include him in the succession. In 829, he dropped L othar's imperial title as co-Emperor and sent him off to Italy. The next year , the three brothers united and attacked their father, forcing him to abdicate . They demanded that Lothar be given back his imperial title and they sent Ju dith off to a nunnery. By 831, however, Louis the Pious managed to regain his power, bring back his wife, drop Lothar completely from his will and replace him with Charles, and refused to allow Lothar to ever return to court without permission. That same year, Pepin of Aquitaine revolted on his own and Louis o f Bavaria followed the next year. Emperor Louis declared that Pepin was form ally deposed of his titles, but he could not enforce this order. In 833, the three brothers gained support from Pope Gregory IV and many of the Emperor's o wn generals. Lothar made a settlement; Louis and Charles were imprisoned; Jud ith was sent in exile to Italy under the eye of Lother; Louis of Bavaria and P epin of Aquitaine were to gain territory that was formally under imperial auth ority. By 834 Pepin and Louis released their father and brother from jail, Ju dith was brought back, and peace was made. In 835, Louis was re-crowned with great pomp. Pepin died in 838 and Louis put Charles on the throne of Aquitaine. The nobles, however, put Pepin's son, Pepin II, on the throne. Neither Cha rles nor Pepin II held authority. Louis the Pious died in 840 and a civil war ensued over the Empire's division that lasted until peace was finally made in 843.

Louis married Empress Judith The Fair Of BAVARIA, Princess Of Bavaria in Feb 818-819 in Aix La Chapelle, Austrasia. Judith (daughter of Duke Welf (Guelph) Of BAVARIA, Count Of Bavaria and Egilwich (Heilwig) Of SAXONY, Duchess Of Bavaria) was born in 805 in Of Altdorf, Bavaria; died on 19 Apr 843 in Tours, Indre-Et-Loire, Touraine, France.
