 Charles the Simple
Charles III, King of France, called Charles the Simple, was a posthumous son of Louis the Stammerer and of his second wife Adelaide.
On the deposition of Charles the Fat in 887 he was excluded from the throne by his youth; but during the reign of King Odo, who had succeeded Charles, he succeeded in gaining the recognition of a certain number of notables and in securing his coronation at Reims on the 28th of January 893.
The same year Charles, on the invitation of the barons, jealous of the growth of the royal authority and discontented with the favor shown by the king to his counsellor Hagano, rebelled, and in 922 elected Robert I, brother of King Odo, in place of Charles.
