Louis the Stammerer (November 1, 846 - April 10, 879), also known as Louis II and Louis le Begue, was the son of Charles II and Ermentrude of Orléans.
He married three wives and had four children. He and his first wife, Ansgarde of Burgundy, had two sons, Louis III and Carloman, both of whom were Kings of France. With his second wife, Adelaide Judith of Paris, had one daughter, Ermentrude, Princess of the West Franks. He and his third wife, Luitgrade of Saxony, had one son, Charles III, King of France, King of West Franks.
Louis the Stammerer was said to be physically weak and outlived his father by only two years. He had almost no impact on politics. On his death his realms were divided between two of his sons, Carloman and Louis III.
2 (846-879), king of France, called "le Begue" or "the Stammerer," was a son of Charles II.
After a feeble and ineffectual reign of eighteen months Louis died at Compiegne on the Loth or 11th of April 879.
The king is described as "un homme simple et doux, aimant la paix, la justice et la religion." By his first wife, Ansgarde, a Burgundian princess, he had two sons, his successors, Louis III.
LouisII, associé à l'empire en 850, demeura seul empereur, par la mort de son père, en 855.
Les démêlés de LouisII avec ses frères avaient donné aux Sarrasins le temps de se fortifier dans le duché de Bénévent et de mettre en danger toute l'Italie.
LouisII, par un édit publié en 866, rassembla toutes les forces de son royaume pour repousser les infidèles.
