!King of France (898-922). Called Charles the Simple, he was the posthumous son of King Louis II. Although Charles claimed the French throne during the reign of Eudes, count of Paris (r. 888-98) he was not acknowledged king until 898. His reign is plagued by raids of Scandinavian Vikings, to whom he finally ceded (911) much of what later was called Normandy. Charles was deposed in 922 by his chief vassals and imprisoned in Peronne from 923 until his death. [Funk & Wagnalls]

NEWLIN, WAITE LINES

!King of France, 936-954. Recalled from his exile across the sea in England. Louis never trusted the intentions of Hugh Capet who was influential in placing Louis on the throne. Soon open warfare broke out during which Louis was captured. Through the aid of Otto the Great, his brother-in-law, Louis was
restored to the throne. Louis died soon afterward. [Outline History of Mankind]

!In his earlier years, he sought refuge with his maternal uncle, King Athelstan of Wessex, and hence he was called "D'outremer" (from beyond the sea) during the usurpation of Rudolph. Summoned to the throne from his English exile, he was finally protected in his dominion by the English king. The states of France sent deputies to Athelstan, on the death of Rudolph, who took oath of allegiance to Louis in the presence of Athelstan and his queen; and when the rule of the yougn Frank was disturbed by his great vassals, another treaty of alliance between the countries was entered into.

Rather than fight, Sitric agreed a treaty with Athelstan at Tamworth on 30 January 926. Part of the arrrangement included Sitric's aceptance of Christianity, and his marriage to Athelstan's sisters Edith (Eadgyth). But within only a few months Sitric had renounced his faith and sent Edith packing to Polesworth Abbey in Warwickshire.

The Northumbrians accepted Olaf, Sigtrygg's son by an earlier (than Athelstan's sister) marriage, as Sigtrygg's successor, and the boy's Uncle Guthfrith, who had taken the Dublin kingdom after Sigtrygg, came to Northumbria to act as his regent. Athelstan promptly drove out the pair of them, Guthfrith to Scotland and Olaf to Ireland. The upshot of prolonged machination was the Norse-Celtic confederacy which faced Athelstan at Brunanburh in 937. [A History of the Vikings, p. 236]

Within a year he lost to Edmund that part of the by now English-orientated and anti-heathen Danelaw which his namesake had just won. He was driven out by his subjects in 943 and a bro. of Olaf Guthfrithson named Rognvald/Raegnald became king. [A History of the Vikings, p. 239]

!Joined a confederacy of the Hy-Ivar and attempted to regain Northumbria. This attempt failed and the Danes were driven out. Olave retired to Ireland where his power was unbroken until the year 980, when the battle of Tara re-established the superiority of the native Irish, which was afterwards confirmed by the more celebrated battle of Clontarf in 1014. Olave, who was not present at that battle, resigned his authority to Sitric, one of his sons, who survived it, and himself retired to end his days in Iona. [The Bruces and the Cumyns, p. 496]

Note:
!Holy Roman Emperor (962-73), king of Germany (936-73). After subduing an uprising of nobles incited by his brother, Otto consolidated his kingdom by granting duchies to faithful relatives and followers. In 951 he marched to Italy to assist Adelaide, the widowed queen of Lombardy, against Berengar II, who had usurped the kingdom. Otto defeated Berengar and married Adelaide, thereby becoming ruler of northern Italy. Whe he returned to Germany, he again crushed a rebellion of nobles led by his son Liudolf and halted a Hungarian invasion in 955. In 962 he was crowned Holy Roman emperor. In 963 he deposed Pope John XII and had Leo VIII elected in his stead. Otto sought to make the church subordinate to the authority of the empire but assisted in spreading
Christianity throughout his domain. He negotiated unsuccessfully with the Byzantine emperor Nicephorus II Phocas for an alliance between the Byzantine and Holy Roman empires, but was able to arrange a marriage between his son Otto II and Theophano. [Funk & Wagnalls]

FOSTER, BURR, MINOR, NEWLIN LINES - 30th ggrandfather

!Upon his father Henry's foundations, Otto was able to raise the German monarchy to one of its greatest peaks. In this he was aided by a happy combination of circumstances. To the east he unleashed a series of campaigns against the pagan Slavs between the Elbe and the Oder, who were also being menaced from the nascent ducy of Poland under Mieszko I; that helped to provide
territory and manpower with which he might bind men to him. To the west he was favored by the intermittent conflicts between the Carolingians and Robertians which made it unappealing for the dukes of Lotharingia to throw off his rule for they could expect little help from France if they did so. Within Germany marriages of his relatives into the ducal families secured their accession to Swabia and Bavaria, while Lotharingia was bestowed on a son-in-law. To the south the turbulent poltics of Italy provided a fruitful sphere in which to intervene, bringing Otto the crown of Italy in 951, the imperial crown in 962, and a rich harvest of relics with which he could endow the great eastern
bishoprics and monasteries. By appointing bishops to sees well distant from their native parts he helped to create alternative sources of support should their neighbors prove restive and was at the same time able to impose military obligations on the Church to defent the eastern frontier and provide troops for more distant expeditions. Despite these opportunities and achievements he also
faced periods of very great danger. His stepbrother and younger brother regarded themselves as alternative candidates for the throne and in turn revolted; so too did other dukes, including his son, Duke Liudolf of Swabia, when he feared that Otto's marriage to Adelaide of Italy would preclude him
from the succession. What set the seal upon Otto's achievements was fortune; at the time of the most serious of the revolts, Liudolf's, fresh Magyar hosts burst upon the scene. King and rebels united againt this threat and at the Lechfeld, near Augsburg, gained one of the most decisive battles in the course of history (955). [The Oxford History of Medieval Europe]

!Rebellions of dukes of Bavaria, Franconia, and Lotharingia subdued. Victories over the Hungarians; the East Mark, called later Austria, set up. (A mark or march, was a frontier district set up for defensive purposes.) [Leaders & Landmarks, Vol. II, p. 233]

!Under Otto, the Huns again broke into the empire, for the last time in force, when myriads of them were slain or drowned in a battle before Augsburg (A.D. 955). [Leaders & Landmarks, Vol. II, p. 34]

!When Otto I returned from Italy to Germany in 972/3, Haralod Bluetooth was one of a number of monarchs who did him homage at Quedlinburg. A few months later Otto was dead, and Harald wasted no time in testing the mettle of his successor Otto II by some raids on Holstein. [A History of the Vikings, p. 128]

!2nd husband of Princess Edith of England. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 17]

!In 961, Otho, king of Saxony, invaded Italy. He conquered the realm, dethrones Berenger II and sent him to end his days in a German prison. Otho was crowned sovereign with the title of emperor. Thus Italy, after having been annexed as a subjugated kingdom to Greece, and then to France, was now grasped by Germany. For half a century the three Othos, father, son, and grandson, were acknowledged emperors and kings of Italy. [Nations of the World - Italy, Vol XXV, p. 430]
