!Duke of Lotharingia, 978-991. [The Oxford History of Medieval Europe]

WAITE, NEWLIN LINE - 28th ggrandfather

!Voted to be unfit to rule because of his marriage to one of a knightly family. [WBH - France]

!Disqualified by marriage into a knightly family, and perhaps still more by his treachery during hostilities between Lothar and Otto II. At the same time the lordships of northern France, though not yet fully defined and consolidated, had for the most part reached the point at which a further prolongation of the struggle offered fewer rewards than risks, so that Charles's bid for the throne found little support.
