See the notes on Lothar's father, LOUIS THE PIOUS, for an overview of theevents leading up to Lothar's succession to the title of Emporer. He isalso known as King of Italy as he spent most of the decade from 831 to841 there. The main reason for this was that his father had banished himthere. There was constant conflict between the two of them. Lothar
used Italy primarily as a political and military base for his activitiesin the north. From the time of the Treaty of Verdun in 843 until hisdeath in 855, he ruled the "Middle Kingdom" which stretched from theNorth Sea to Rome. Although holding the title of Emporer, he had noauthority over the lands of his brother LOUIS THE GERMAN to the east orhis other brother, CHARLES THE BALD to the west. When Lothar died in 855,his
kingdom was divided between LOUIS and CHARLES. His children became rulersof small portions of his realm. LOUIS II, though nominally his father'ssuccessor as Emporer, was in actual fact merely King of Italy. LOTHARbecame King of Lorraine. Charles became the first King of Provence.
