Weis' "Ancestral Roots . . ." (141A:17), (141B:18).
He succeeded his father as king of Provence. In 900, in the midst of a
period of political instability, the nobles of northwest Italy, led by
ADALBERT, MARQUIS OF IVREA (RIN 1468), elected Louis as their king.
He went to Rome, where he was also crowned as Emporer. He lost his
support and gave up the Italian throne to BERENGER I of Friuli in 902. He
tried again to take the throne in 905, but BERENGER captured him and had
him blinded.
In his book, "The Lost Kingdom of Burgundy", Christopher Cope says that
since he died with no sons, his successor was his regent, Hugh, Count of
Arles (RIN 3470*). Most sources, however, hold that CHARLES
CONSTANTINE was LOUIS' son as I've shown here.
