    The Treaty of Verdun


    Charlemagne, king of the Franks, died in 814. He was succeeded by his
    son, Louis I (also known as Louis the Pious). During his reign, Louis
    struggled to keep his rebellious sons (Charlemagne’s grandsons) from
    permanently seizing power. After Louis died in 840, his three surviving
    sons—Lothair I, Louis the German, and Charles the Bald—fought each
    other for possession of the Frankish Empire.
    Louis the German and Charles the Bald joined forces against their older
    brother Lothair I, defeating him in the battle of Fontenoy in 841. The next
    year, Louis and Charles made their alliance official by swearing the Oath
    of Strasbourg. In 843, they forced Lothair to sign the Treaty of Verdun,
    which divided the empire among the three brothers. Lothair retained the
    title of emperor and received the central portion of the empire. Louis
    received the empire’s eastern lands. Charles received the western lands.

    MAP ACTIVITY
