 | | Lothair I[lOthAr´] Pronunciation Key, 795855, emperor of the West (84055), son and successor of Louis I. |
 | | He twice (830, 833) revolted against his father, who favored Lothair's half brother Charles (Charles the Bald, later Charles II) at his elder son's expense, and in 833, with his brothers Pepin and Louis the German, he succeeded in temporarily deposing Louis I. However, his brothers deserted him and restored Louis. |
 | | Renewing their alliance in 842 (see Strasbourg, Oath of), Charles and Louis the German forced (843) Lothair to sign the fateful Treaty of Verdun (see Verdun, Treaty of), which partitioned the empire of Charlemagne among the three brothers; Lothair retained the imperial title. |
