Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine


 

Charles of Lorraine (953-993) was the son of King Louis IV of France and Gerberga. Having been excluded from the throne of France, the German Holy Roman Emperor Otto II, made Charles duke of the empire's western frontier of Lower Lorraine in 977. While waging war for the French throne, with his cousin, Hugh Capet, Charles was taken prisoner and was confined until his death in 993. Charles married Adelheid. Among their children were Gerberga of Lorraine, who married Lambert I; and Ermengarde of Lorraine, who married Albert I, Count of Namur.
