CarolmanCarolman (34) (800 - ?) was married to Litwinde (34) (800 - ?). [I've seen this spelled both Carolman and Carloman, and I don't know which is preferred.] Their son was Arnolph I, Emperor (33) 887-899 who married Otta of Bavaria (33). Carolman was the son of Louis I of Bavaria (35), son of Louis Le DeBonnaire of France (36).) From the Encyclopaedia Britannica: Carloman b. 828, d. , March or September 880, Öttingen, Ger. eldest son of Louis II the German and father of the emperor Arnulf. Carloman rebelled against his father in 861 and 863 but in 865 was entrusted by Louis with a share in his authority, being granted jurisdiction over Bavaria and Carinthia. After this he remained loyal to his father, even helping to suppress the rebellion of his two younger brothers (866) and taking part in a campaign against the Moravians (869). The latter by 874 were forced to admit Frankish supremacy. After the death of the emperor Louis II (875), a faction in northern Italy favoured Carloman as candidate for the imperial crown; but Pope John VIII preferred Charles II the Bald. When Louis the German died (876), Carloman succeeded him as king of some of the German territories. In undisputed control of Bavaria, he promptly crossed the Alps on the death of Charles the Bald (877) and was recognized as king in northern Italy. The Pope, however, still refused him the imperial crown. Falling ill, Carloman had to renounce his lands and titles to his brother Louis III the Younger. His illegitimate son Arnulf became emperor in 896. Return to the Genealogy Overview page or the Indexes on the Detail page.
