Everything about The Treaty Of Meerssen totally explained
The
Treaty of Meerssen or
Mersen in
870 was an agreement of the division of the
Carolingian Empire by the surviving sons of
Louis I,
Charles II of the
West Franks and
Louis the German of
East Franks, signed at the town of
Meerssen, north of
Maastricht, which is now in the
Netherlands.
Louis II, Holy Roman Emperor, who ruled
Northern Italy and the
Kingdom of Provence, sought a piece of the partition, with the support of
Pope Hadrian II but was denied. The treaty replaced the
Treaty of Verdun. The Kingdom of
Lotharingia - a band of territory stretching from the
Jura mountains in modern Switzerland to the North Sea - was divided between Charles II and Louis the German, in
869, after the death of their nephew
Lothar II, King of
Lotharingia. The north of Lotharingia was under
Danish Viking control and was only divided between West Francia and East Francia on paper.
