	Lorraine - LoveToKnow Watches
		The original kingdom of Lorraine was the northern part of the territories allotted by the treaty of Verdun (August 843) to the emperor Lothair I., and in 855 formed the inheritance of his second son, King Lothair.
		This kingdom of Lorraine was situated between the realms of the East and the West Franks, and originally extended along the North Sea between the mouths of the Rhine and the Ems, including the whole or part of Frisia and the cities on the right bank of the Rhine.
		The majority of the municipal charters of Lorraine were derived from the charter of Beaumont in Argonne, which was at first extended to the Barrois and was granted by Ferri, in spite of the hostility of his barons, to La Neuveville in 1257, to Frouard in 1263 and to Luneville in 1265.

		Lorraine was then annexed by his uncles Charles II "The Bald" and Louis II "The German", who simply divided it between them.
		The western part of Lorraine became part of West-Francia, which after the death of Charles II "The Bald" was ruled by his son Louis II "The Stammerer", and by Louis' son Charles III "The Simple" after that.
