Histoire des fils de Louis le Pieux. Proche et Moyen Orient Work published on the occasionThe History of the Sons of Louis the Pious provides an exceptional, subjective but very well informed account (by a member of Charles the Bald's entourage) of the view that a great layman could have of the reign of Louis the Pious (814 840) and of the dissensions between his sons, which led to the partition of Verdun (843), thus calling into question the unity of the Carolingian Empire and setting the framework for the political geography of Europe.
