KINGS OF LOTHARINGIA
Charles the Bald claimed Lotharingia on Lothair's death and was crowned king in Metz , but his brother Louis The German opposed his claim and in 870 the Treaty Of Mersen divided Lotharingia between the two brothers and subsequently their sons. In 880, the Treaty Of Ribemont gave the whole of Lotharingia to Louis The Younger , son of Louis the German.
In 922, Lotharingia was subsumed into the Kingdom Of Germany . DUKES OF LORRAINE
In 959, Lorraine was divided into two provinces: Upper and Lower, each being given to a Margrave or vice-duke under Bruno. Upon Bruno's death in 965, that of Lower Lorraine, whose margrave had died, was left vacant until 977 . In that year Charles was appointed duke of Lower Lorraine and Frederick I was elevated duke in Upper Lorraine. The two duchies remained separate, following separate pathways, except for the brief period between 1033 and 1044 . |
