"LOUIS THE STAMMERER (846-879) m. 1. Ansgard 2. Adelheid"
--- Rosamond McKitterick, *The Frankish Kingdoms under the
Carolingians, 751-987*, London & NY (Longman), 1983, p 354-5
. . . "Charles the Bald's son Louis II the Stammerer was a mediocre
sovereign known only for having received Pope John VIII in France, where
he held a council at Troyes. Louis II died after a two-year reign, leaving
two sons, Louis III and Carloman, from a first marriage, and from a
second a posthumous son who was to become Charles III the Simple."
--- Duc de Castries, *The Lives of the Kings & Queens of France*,
translated from the French by Anne Dobell, New York (Knopf) 1979, p 47
