Encyclopedia > Charles the Younger, son of Charlemagne

Charles the Younger (died 811) was the second son of Charlemagne and the first by his third wife, Hildegard. When Charlemagne divided his empire among his sons he was made king of Neustria, which consisted of Anjou, Maine, and Touraine. His elder brother, Pepin the Hunchback, was disinherited, and his younger brothers Carloman (renamed Pepin) and Louis received Italy and Aquitaine, respectively. Charles was mostly preoccupied with the Bretons, whose border he shared and who insurrected on at least two occasions and were easily put down, but he was also sent against the Saxons on multiple occasions. Charles' father outlived him, however, and the entire kingdom thus went to his younger brother Louis, Pepin also having died.
