| | Louis the Stammerer |
 | | Louis II, King of France, called "le Bègue" or "the Stammerer", was a son of Charles the Bald, Holy Roman Emperor and king of the West Franks, and was born on the 1st of November 846. |
 | | Having made extensive concessions to the nobles both clerical and lay, he was crowned king by Hincmar, archbishop of Reims, on the 8th of December following, and in September 878 he took advantage of the presence of Pope John VIII at the council of Troyes to be consecrated afresh. |
 | | The king is described as "un homme simple et doux, aimant la paix, la justice et la religion." By his first wife, Ansgarde, a Burgundian princess, he had two sons, his successors, Louis III and Carloman; by his second wife, Adelaide, he had a posthumous son, Charles the Simple, who also became king of France. |
