Louis the Stammerer (French: Louis le Bègue) (1 November 846 – 10 April 879) was the 
King of Aquitaine and later the King of West Francia. He was the eldest son of 
emperor Charles the Bald and Ermentrude of Orléans. Louis the Stammerer was 
physically weak and outlived his father by only two years.

He succeeded his younger brother Charles the Child as the ruler of Aquitaine in 866 
and his father in West Francia in 877, but he was never crowned Emperor. In the 
French monarchial system, he is considered Louis II.

Louis was crowned king on 8 October 877 by Hincmar, archbishop of Reims, at 
Compiegne[1] and was crowned a second time in August 878 by Pope John VIII at 
Troyes while the pope was attending a council there.[2] The pope may have even 
offered him the imperial crown, but it was declined. Louis had relatively little impact on 
politics. He was described "a simple and sweet man, a lover of peace, justice, and 
religion". In 878, he gave the counties of Barcelona, Girona, and Besalú to Wilfred 
the Hairy. His final act was to march against the invading Vikings, but he fell ill and 
died on 9 April or 10 April 879, not long after beginning this final campaign. On his 
death, his realms were divided between his two sons, Carloman II and Louis III of 
France.
Family[edit]

During the peace negotiations between his father and Erispoe, duke of Brittany, Louis 
was betrothed to an unnamed daughter of Erispoe in 856. It is not known if this was 
the same daughter who later married Gurivant. The contract was broken in 857 after 
Erispoe's murder.

Louis was married twice. His first wife Ansgarde of Burgundy had two sons: Louis 
(born in 863) and Carloman (born in 866),[1] both of whom became kings of West 
Francia, and two daughters: Hildegarde (born in 864) and Gisela (865–884).

His second wife Adelaide of Paris had one daughter, Ermentrude (875–914) and a 
posthumous son, Charles the Simple,[1] who would become, long after his elder 
brothers' deaths, king of West Francia.
