succeeded his father as king of Provence. In 900, in the midst of a period of political
instability, the nobles of northwest Italy, led by ADALBERT, MARQUIS OF IVREA
, elected Louis as their king. He went to Rome, where he was also crowned as
Emporer. He lost his support and gave up the Italian throne to BERENGER I of Friuli in
902. He tried again to take the throne in 905, but BERENGER captured him and had him
blinded. In his book, 'The Lost Kingdom of Burgundy', Christopher Cope says that since
he died with no sons, his successor was his regent, Hugh, Count of Arles.
