Image Link: Carolingian Family Tree: < France-1stCarolingians.pngFrance-1stCarolingians.png> Map Link: The Treaty of Verdun, 843: < treaty_of_verdun_843ce_b.gif?w=500treaty_of_verdun_843ce_b.gif?w=500>

War between Lothar, Louis the German, Charles the Bald and Pippin II of Aquitaine 841 Battle of Fontenoy 843 Treaty of Verdun 852 Imprisonment of Pippin II in monastery

Ideology of familial love vs. ambition 855 Death of Lothar. Dissolution of Lothar’s kingdom Louis II (emperor, r ) Lothar II (Lotharingia, r ) Charles of Provence (r )

Map Link: Frankish Empire, 855: Map Link: Frankish Empire, 870:

870 Treaty of Meersen. Negotiations over Italy begin Louis II (emperor, r ) Louis the German (r ) Charles the Bald (r ) 875 Charles the Bald takes Italy, imperial title

Ongoing conflict over Frankish empire 885 Brief reunification of empire by Charles the Fat (r , son of Louis the German) 887 Deposition of Charles the Fat by Arnulf of Carinthia (r ) 888 Division of empire among mostly non- Carolingians

846 Muslims attack Rome. 847 Lothar allies with papacy Waves of Viking attacks, c Impact of Frankish defenses Viking awareness of and involvement in Frankish politics (e.g. alliance with Pippin II in 855)

Influence of the church: Papal influence, e.g. John VIII (p ) crowning Charles the Bald emperor in 875 Reciprocal relationship of Charles the Bald and the church: benefices, immunities, privileges, preferments

Influence of the secular nobility: Buying support using honores (honours) 877 Quierzy Capitulary: honores becoming hereditary Noble factions, esp. Welfs (family of Judith) and Robertians (family of Robert the Strong)

Influence of the secular nobility: General noble support of Carolingian kingship 888 Death of Charles the Fat. Division of empire when no adult, male, legitimate Carolingian heir available. Arnulf of Carinthia/ E. Francia as illegitimate Carolingian

Reasons for the Carolingian Collapse? 1. Family conflicts 2. Attacks from outside 3. Influence of the church 4. Influence of the secular nobility Also: Dynastic weakness? Division of inheritance?
