  • Notes 
    • Louis the Pious (16 April 778–20 June 840), also called the Fair and the Debonaire, was the King of the Franks and co-emperor with his father, Charlemagne, from 813. He was also King of Aquitaine from 781. As the only surviving son of Charlemagne and Hildegard, he became the sole ruler of the Franks after his father's death in 814, a position which he held until his death, save for the period 833–834, during which he was deposed.

      Louis married firstly Ermengarde of Hesbaye in c. 794. Children:
      1 Lothair (795–855), king of Middle Francia
      2 Pepin (797–838), king of Aquitaine
      3 Adelaide (b. c. 799)
      4 Rotrude (b. 800)
      5 Hildegard (or Matilda) (b. c. 802)
      6 Louis the German (c. 806–876), king of East Francia

      Louis married secondly Judith of Bavaria. Children:
      1 Gisela, married Eberhard of Friuli
      2 Charles the Bald, king of West Francia

      By an unknown concubine (probably Theodelinde of Sens) [citation needed], he had two illegitimate children:
      1 Arnulf of Sens
      2 Alpais
