Bernard of Septimania

Together, they began an armed rebellion against their father.

The anger of the brothers seems to have been mostly directed at the emperor's chamberlain, a noble from the south called Bernard of Septimania, and their hated stepmother, Judith.

Louis was off campaigning in the rocky and wild region of the northwest inhabited by stubborn and perpetually independent-minded Celtic people, Brittany, when his son Pippin, King of Aquitaine, marched north towards our city in the Seine.

Still, even in these days when the emperor lived in Aachen, Paris was a symbolically important prize.

He likes making sure that laws are appropriate and fit for purpose, so there's still lots of church meetings, lots of assemblage of nobles working together to make things, ensure things are done properly.

What really kind of goes wrong a little bit for Louis is one of his first actions is that he's, he disinherits his nephew, Bernard of Italy.

Bernard of Italy kind of revolts and then for revolting, Louis has Bernard blinded in one eye.

But then it goes, it gets infected and Bernard dies, and then Louis is absolutely mortified that he's caused the death of one of his relatives.

If you just blind somebody, they can go and live a full life, maybe in a monastery rather than as a political figure.

But it, it's not execution.

People are reporting that they've seen Charlemagne in hell be- under attack by demons.

People are also criticizing Louis from beyond the grave for his actions.
