| Louis the German (635 words) |
 | This developed into the Treaty of Verdun concluded in August 843, by which Louis received the bulk of the lands of the Carolingian empire lying east of the Rhine, together with a district around Speyer, Worms and Mainz, on the left bank of the river. |
| The later years of Louis the German were troubled by risings on the part of his sons, the eldest of whom, Carloman[?], revolted in 861 and again two years later; an example that was followed by the second son Louis, who in a further rising was joined by his brother Charles. |
| A report that the emperor Louis II was dead led to peace between father and sons and attempts by Louis the German to gain the imperial crown for Carloman. |
