"Charles' unexpected birth produced violent discord in his family since his father, Louis I the Pious, son of Charlemagne, had already divided his empire between his first three sons [by his previous marriage], Lothair, Louis the German, and Pepin. Bitter civil war ensued between Louis and the three sons from 830 to 838. After Pepin's death in 838, Louis the Pious concluded a pact that divided the empire between Lothair and Charles; but after the death of LouisI in 840 the civil war resumed and continued until Louis the German joined with Charles to force Lothair to accept the Treaty of Verdun in 843, by which Charles received all the lands west of a line roughly following the Scheldt, the Meuse, theSaone, the eastern mountains of the Massif Central, and the lower reaches of the Rhone..."
"During Charles' reign some of the splendors of the Carolingian renaissance were revived, and his close collaboration with the church enhanced hisprestige and authority."
