Charles of Provence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles was the Carolingian King of Provence from 855 until his early death in 863.
Charles was the youngest son of Holy Roman Emperor Lothair I, who divided his realm of the Middle Franks (Lotharingia) between his three sons: the eldest, Louis, received Italy and the emperorship; Lothair II received Lotharingia (modern Lorraine and the Low Countries); and the youngest, Charles, received Upper and Lower Burgundy (Arles and Provence).
In 860, he defeated his uncle, Charles the Bald, who had attempted to conquer his realm.
