Charles Constantine is the documented son of Louis the Blind.
He has traditionally been called illegitimate, but this was almost solely due to his failure
to inherit his father's titles, ignoring the fact that his father was not in a position to pass
anything to his son, having lost all to his enemies (and friends). It is his name that caused a
reevaluation of this maternity. While the name Charles harkens back to his (by this time
distant) ancestor, Charlemagne, but Constantine is a novelty. While one could (and people
have) derive the use of this name to the late - Carolingian classicism which caused Hugh
Count of Maine to use the name David, the alternative solution is really the simplest - that
this name, while having a link to antiquity, relates more immediately to Emperor
Constantine, son of Leo IV, and uncle of the child(ren) of Louis and Anna - that Charles
Constantine was their legitimate son.
