LOUIS, son of CHARLES II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks & his first wife Ermentrude [d'Orléans] (1 Nov 846-Compiègne 11 Apr 879, bur Compiègne, église collégiale Saint-Corneille). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Hludovicum Karolum Karlomannum et Hlotharium" as the four sons of "Karolus imperator…ex Hyrmentrudi regina"[274]. His father awarded him the duchy of Mans and part of Neustria and arranged his betrothal in Feb 856, from which time he seems to have received the title king. He was expelled from Brittany after the rebellion which followed the murder of King Erispoé, and sought refuge with his father. He was suspected of having helped his sister Judith elope with Comte Baudouin and was obliged to flee in 861. He revolted against his father in 862, the revolt being instigated by the Rorgonid family[275]. He was pardoned by his father, given the county of Meaux in 862, and entrusted with the governorship of the whole of Neustria with the title king in 865. The latter appointment was removed from him in the following year[276]. His father invested him as Comte d'Autun in 866. He was installed as King of Aquitaine in Mar 867, following the death of his brother Charles[277]. He succeeded his father in 877 as LOUIS II "le Bègue" King of the West Franks, and LUDWIG III King of West Lotharingia, crowned at Compiègne 8 Dec 877 and at Troyes 7 Sep 878 by Pope John VIII. The Gesta Francorum records the death "879 III Id Apr…apud Compendium…palatium" of "Hludowicus Karoli regis filius" and his burial in the same place[278]. The Annales Fuldenses record the death "879 III Id Apr apud Compendium" of "Hludowicus, Karoli regis filius" and his burial in the same place[279]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "III Id Apr" of "Ludovicus rex"[280].
Betrothed (Feb 856, contract broken end 857) to ---[de Bretagne], daughter of ERISPOE King of Brittany & his wife ---. The Annales Bertiniani record the betrothal of "Respogio Brittone…filiam eius" and "Karlus rex…filio suo Ludoico" in early 856[281].
m firstly (Mar 862, repudiated [876/77]) ANSGARDIS, daughter of comte HARDUIN & his wife --- (-2 Nov [880/82]). The Annales Bertiniani record the marriage in 862 of "Hludowicus frater Karoli [regis Aquitannorum, Karoli regis filius]" and "filiam Harduini…sororem…Odonis", against the will of his father[282]. Regino names "Ansgard" wife of "Hludowicus rex filius Caroli" without giving her origin, specifying that they married without the consent of his father who obliged his son to repudiate his wife[283]. The necrology of Reims Cathedral records the death "IV Non Nov" of "Ansgardis regina"[284].
m secondly ([875][285]) ADELAIS, daughter of ADALHARD Comte Palatin [Angoulême] & his wife --- ([855/60]-18 Nov [901], bur Compiègne, église abbatiale Saint-Corneille). Regino names "Adalheidis" second wife of "Hludowicus rex filius Caroli", married after he repudiated his first wife[286]. Her paternity is indicated by Wulfhard (who would have been the brother of Adelais) being named sororius of King Louis II[287]. Her marriage was not recognised by the church which did not accept her husband's separation from his first wife. The Pope refused to crown her with her husband at Troyes 878, considering that she was not his legitimate wife[288]. Her children were considered illegitimate by the church.

Louis II[1] dit le Bègue né le 1er novembre 846, mort le 11 avril 879 à Compiègne. Roi des Francs (877-879), fils de Charles II dit le Chauve et Ermentrude d'Orléans.

Il est d'abord couronné roi d'Aquitaine en 867, puis roi des Francs en 877, mais sans la Provence, cédée par son père à Boson de Provence.

Le 10 février 856 à Louviers[2], son père lui arrange des fiançailles avec une fille d'Erispoë, duc de Bretagne qui lui concède alors le duché du Mans[3]. Déplaisant énormément aux vassaux bretons, cet arrangement est peut-être une des raisons du mécontentement et du complot qui entraînent la mort du duc breton l'année suivante.

Marié en premières noces à Ansgarde de Bourgogne, ils ont deux fils : Louis III et Carloman II. Marié en secondes noces avec Adélaïde de Frioul, il est le père de Charles III, né après sa mort.

Comme l'indique son surnom, Louis II bégaie, ce qui l'empêche de s'exprimer en public et nuit à son autorité.

Bien que sacré une deuxième fois par le pape Jean VIII, lors du concile de Troyes en septembre 878[4], il demeure un roi sans pouvoir, dominé par la puissance de l'aristocratie. Le Ier novembre de cette même année à Fouron près de Liège, il a cependant la sagesse de conclure avec son cousin Louis de Saxe un accord[5] qui confirme le partage de la Lotharingie effectué par leur père en 870 au Traité de Meerssen.
