		At the same time, external threats to the Frankish realm were increasing; throughout the ninth century, ever greater numbers of Scandinavian raiders were attacking the Continent and England, and eventually they even began to turn from raids to attempts at conquest.
		As early as the reign of Louis the Pious, Frankish kings tried to combat the Northmannic threat not only through purely military means, but by settling "friendly" (or at least potentially friendly) groups of Northmen on Frankish soil, in hope that their new Northmannic allies would help protect them from other Scandinavian bands.
		At a moment of extreme military danger, the western nobles did not want to trust their fate to a child, so they turned instead to a non-Carolingian, Odo (king 888-898), who had been the hero of the siege of Paris two years earlier and was thus a proven leader.
