Charles Constantine died 962 was the Count of Vienne , son of Louis the Blind , King of Burgundy King of Provence , and the Holy Roman Emperor . Name and maternity About his name, he was never called Charles Constantine . Rather Flodoard , copied later by Richar , calls him Constantinus . We know that his proper name was Carolus Charles from a diploma of his father, and from his own charters. Modern scholars have typically called him Charles Constantine, but this was not a name used during his lifetime. Some modern genealogical scholars speculated that his mother was Anna of Constantinople , daughter of Leo VI the Wise and his second wife Zoe Zaoutzaina . However, his father s marriage to this princess is much disputed and rather unlikely. Christian Settipani postulates that his name refers to the founders of the empires governed by his father and maternal grandfather, i.e., to Charlemagne and Constantine the Great . Regarding his birthyear, or age, we have few datapoints. He was Count of Vienne and acting as an adult by but not in December 927. This evidences that his father must have had a prior union. Some speculation would place him born in 901 3 but this is just a force fit to allow Anna to be his mother and his father s wife. Life When Charles father Louis died in 929, Hugh of Arles , who was already king of Italy , took over Provence and gave it, in 933, to King Rudolf II of Burgundy . Charles Constantine for whatever reason, could not inherit his father s right to the imperial throne or his right to rule Provence. This has led many to believe he was, in fact, a Illegitimacy bastard . He did however rule the county of the Viennois , until his death in 962. He was married to Thiberge de Troyes. It has been speculated that Constance, wife to Boso II of Arles and grandmother of Queen Constance of Arles , was their daughter. Through her, Charles Constantine would be an ancestor of the Capetian dynasty Capetian kings of France and the Norman dynasty Norman and Hou ... more details
Sancho IV Garc s Basque language Basque Antzo Gartzia , Gascon language Gascon Sans Gassia French language French Sanche ref There are many alternate spellings of these names, see the Duchy of Gascony Nomenclature of dukes and counts nomenclature of the dukes of Gascony for more explanation. ref died 950 or 955 was the Duke of Gascony from 930 to his own death in 950 or 955. During his tenure, Gascony shrank considerably as his brothers inherited important regions and the de facto and perhaps de jure independent duchy slipped into historical near oblivion. He is mentioned in the cartulary of Auch , as a son of Garc a S nchez, and the Roda Codex Codex of Roda , which mentions him as the heir of Gascony. On his father s death, he inherited the duchy itself, which included the viscounties of Lomagen , Gavarret , Tursan , and Bruillois . ref Monlezun, p 363. ref His younger brothers, William of F zensac William and Arnold I of Astarac Arnold , inherited F zensac including Armagnac region Armagnac and Astarac respectively with the comital title. Thus was Gascony divided and diminished. In 932 , Flodoard records that the brothers Ermengol of Rouergue and Raymond Pons of Toulouse , Princes of Gothia , brought a Lupus Aznar Vasco with them to do homage to Rudolph of France . Lewis considers this Vasco to be the duke of Gascony and calls him S nchez. The duke meant, however, would be Sancho. ref Lewis, 185n. ref Sancho had two illegitimate sons, ref Cartulary of Auch. ref Sancho V of Gascony Sancho , who later succeeded him, and William II of Gascony William , who likewise succeeded his childless brother. A third son was Gombald, Archbishop of Bordeaux Gombald , a noted pluralist bishop, who held the various sees of Gascony as one until being reappointed to the long vacant archdiocese of Bordeaux . A fourth son Udalrich or Odulric is attested in charters probably all were bastards. Notes references Sources Lewis, Archibald R. http libro.uca.edu lewis index.htm The Developmen ... more details
Ermengol or Ermengaud died after July 935 was a son of Odo of Toulouse and Garsindis. His father gave him the County of Rouergue and Quercy in 906 and he governed it to his death. His brother was Raymond II of Toulouse and together they governed the vast patrimony of their house in the first half of the tenth century. In 930, he donated property to the abbey of Abbey of Vabres Vabres in a charter dated to the seventh year of Rudolph of France King Rudolph bearing only the title of comes count . In January 932, he made a similar donation with the title of princeps prince . He was probably regarded as princeps Gothiae , a title which was to run in his family in the tenth century. He and his nephew Raymond Pons of Toulouse , together with Sancho IV of Gascony , went to the court of Rudolph that year to do homage for their lands. ref Flodoard gives this duke as Lupus Aznar Vasco , but Lewis, 184n, takes this as a reference to a duke of Gascony named S nchez. ref This did not have the desired effect, however, of satisfying royal desires for influence in the south and Rudolph accompanied Ebalus of Aquitaine against the Vikings a short while later, strengthening the Ramnulfid dynasty against that of the Rouergue in the fight for supremacy in Aquitaine . ref Lewis, 187. ref Ermengol and his wife Adelais Adalaiz had two known sons and one daughter, though charters of his eldest son indicate that he had other sons besides his two heirs. The eldest son was Raymond II of Rouergue Raymond , who inherited Rouergue, and the second was Hugh of Rouergue Hugh , who received Quercy. His daughter is hypothesized to have married Sunifred II, Count of Barcelona .

Thankmar or Tammo c. 908 28 July 938 was the eldest and only son of Henry I of Germany by his first wife, Hatheburg or Liutgard . His mother had been previously married and widowed, after which she entered a convent. Because she left the convent to marry Henry, her second marriage was considered invalid and the couple split. Thankmar s legitimacy was, therefore, in question. In 929, Henry I arranged for his succession and had the arrangement ratified by an assembly at Erfurt , just before his death. After his death, his lands and wealth were divided between his four sons Thankmar, Otto I of Germany Otto , Henry I of Bavaria Henry , and Bruno I, Archbishop of Cologne Bruno . ref Bernhardt, 3. ref Otto, however, was designated by his father to receive the crown. The only succession dispute was between Otto and his younger full brother Henry, who was kept under house arrest in Bavaria during Otto s coronation. ref Reuter, 149, based on Flodoard and Widukind of Corvey . ref After the death of Siegfried, Count of Merseburg in 937, Thankmar claimed Merseburg. ref name Bernhardt, 18 Bernhardt, 18. ref Otto, however, appointed Gero , Siegfried s brother. ref name Bernhardt, 18 During this dispute, Eberhard of Franconia and Wichmann the Elder revolted against Otto and Thankmar joined them.
