  Lothair II of Lotharingia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On his father's death in 855, he received for his kingdom a district lying west of the Rhine, between the North Sea and the Jura mountains, which was called Regnum Lotharii and early in the 10th century became known as Lotharingia or Lorraine (the later duchy of Lorraine).
Although quarrels and reconciliations between the three kings followed each other in quick succession, in general it may be said that Louis favoured the divorce, and Charles opposed it, while neither lost sight of the fact that Lothair had no sons to inherit his lands.
Lothair, whose desire for the divorce was prompted by his affection for a certain Waldrada, put away Teutberga; but Hucbert took up arms on her behalf, and after she had submitted successfully to the ordeal of water, Lothair was compelled to restore her in 858.

 Lotharingia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The core of the duchy of Lotharingia consisted of those parts of Lothar II’s kingdom which fell to the eastern king, Louis the German, in 870 by the treaty of Meersen.
The division of Lotharingia into upper and lower duchies dates from 958/9, but the permanent status of this division must be questioned up to perhaps 1046, the point in time when the Matfridinger succession began in the upper duchy.
Nevertheless, the counts palatine were associated with Lotharingia and sprang from the Lotharingian aristocracy, and Ripuaria was only a vague notion, for which the boundaries of the diocese of Cologne provided some limited theoretical support.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Coronation
Then the king was interrogated by the archbishop as to his willingness to observe the laws, customs, and liberties granted by St. Edward the Confessor, and he was required to promise peace to the Church and justice to his people, all which he confirmed by an oath taken upon the altar.
For the unction the king was seated and his hand, breast, shoulder-blades, and joints of the arms were all anointed with the oil of catechumens, an anthem and several long prayers being recited the while.
For example in Aragon the king was expected to pass the preceding night in the church with a purpose which was evidently analogous to that of the knight's vigil spent in the watching of his arms.
