After this victory, the three brothers met in November at Nördlingen to discuss the division of their father's kingdom and to have their hosts swear allegiance.

After the death of Charles the Bald, Louis the Younger contracted a treaty of friendship with Charles' heir Louis the Stammerer in November 878 at Fouron, near Liège. The two cousins promised each other to respect the succession of their respective sons and to issue no claims contrary to that. This treaty was put to the test shortly after, when Louis the Stammerer died in April 879. A party of western nobles led by Abbot Joscelin inivited Louis the Younger to succeed to the rule of the western kingdom. Since his wife Luitgard also advocated heeding this call, Louis invaded West Francia. He marched as far as Verdun, but after the new kings Louis III and Carloman ceded their part of Lotharingia to the invader, Louis the Younger retreated.

Since the summer of 879, the Norsemen increased their attacks on the Frankish kingdom and occasionally penetrated deeply into the interior of the land. In February 880, Louis confronted them and defeated a Norman host at Thimeon (near modern Charleroi). His son Hugh, however, was killed in this battle. Louis also drove the Normans out of the royal palace of Nijmegen. In the same month, a Saxon host commanded by Duke Bruno, the king's brother-in-law, suffered a heavy defeat near Hamburg and Bruno and many other Saxon nobles fell.
