Lothair (French:Lothaire; Latin:Lothārius; 941 – 2 March 986), sometimes called Lothair III or Lothair IV, was the Carolingian king of West Francia from 10 September 954.
Regency
Lothair, born near the end of 941, was the son of Louis IV and Gerberga of Saxony. He succeeded his father in 954 at the age of thirteen and was crowned at the Abbey of Saint-Remi by Artald of Reims, Archbishop of Reims. Lothair's mother made an arrangement with her brother-in-law Hugh the Great, Duke of the Franks and Count of Paris, who had been an adversary to Lothair's father. In exchange for supporting Lothair's rule Hugh was given rule over Aquitaine and much of Burgundy as more or less a viceroy. Lothair inherited a kingdom where the great magnates took lands, rights and offices almost without any regard for the king's authority. Magnates like Hugh the Great and Herbert II, Count of Vermandois were always a veiled threat.
In 955, Lothair and Hugh together took Poitiers by siege. With Hugh the Great's death in 956, Lothair, only fifteen, came under the guardianship of his maternal uncle Bruno, archbishop of Cologne. With Bruno's advice, Lothair mediated between Hugh's sons, Hugh Capet and the younger Otto Henry. The king gave Paris and the ducal title to Capet, although he later invested Otto with the Duchy of Burgundy in 960.
Formerly known as RFO Sat, the channel was originally broadcasting 9 hours per day only. It was re-branded France Ô in 2004 in order to better show it was part of the France Télévisions group. The "O" stands for Outre-mer (overseas), and the accent shows that the channel was opened to all accents and dialects of the world, but also ensures that the name of the channel is not read as France 0 ("France zéro").
The channel became available in overseas territories in November 2010, replacing the RFO-operated Tempo.
French wine is produced all throughout France, in quantities between 50 and 60million hectolitres per year, or 7–8billion bottles. France is one of the largest wine producers in the world. French wine traces its history to the 6th century BC, with many of France's regions dating their wine-making history to Roman times. The wines produced range from expensive high-end wines sold internationally to more modest wines usually only seen within France as the Margnat wines were during the post war period.
Two concepts central to higher end French wines are the notion of "terroir", which links the style of the wines to the specific locations where the grapes are grown and the wine is made, and the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system. Appellation rules closely define which grape varieties and winemaking practices are approved for classification in each of France's several hundred geographically defined appellations, which can cover entire regions, individual villages or even specific vineyards.

Lothair I
Lothair I or Lothar I was the Holy Roman Emperor, and the King of Bavaria, Italy and Middle Francia.
Lothair was the eldest son of the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye, daughter of Ingerman the duke of Hesbaye. On several occasions, Lothair led his full-brothers Pippin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German in revolt against their father to protest against attempts to make their half-brother Charles the Bald a co-heir to the Frankish domains. Upon the father's death, Charles and Louis joined forces against Lothair in a three-year civil war. The struggles between the brothers led directly to the breakup of the Frankish Empire assembled by their grandfather Charlemagne, and laid the foundation for the development of modern France and Germany.

King Louis V The Do Nothing King Of France (Louis le Fainéant)
King Louis V is often referred to as "The Do Nothing King," and remains one of history's most enigmatic monarchs.
Dive into the depths of his reign to uncover the truths and myths surrounding his time on the throne. Frankish king Louis was from the Carolingian dynasty, reigning at the end of the 10th century.
👑 The Reign of King Louis V
Duration and Challenges: Explore the brief reign from 986-987 AD, marked by political instability and limited royal authority.
Legacy: Despite the negative moniker, Louis V's reign had lasting impacts on the feudal structure of France, setting precedents for his successors.
📜 The Historical Context
The Carolingian Dynasty: Understand the role of Louis V as the last king of the Carolingian dynasty and how this period shaped medieval Europe.
Political Landscape: Insight into the power struggles with the nobility that characterized the era and ultimately led to his lack of notable achievements.
🔍 Why "The Do Nothing"?
Short Reign: Louis V was the last Carolingian king of France, reigning for a very short period from 986 until his death in 987. His brief reign marked the end of the Carolingian dynasty’s control over France.
Ascension Challenges: His accession to the throne was not smooth. Louis V only became king after the death of his father, Lothair, and his reign was marked by nobility conflicts and the weakening central power of the monarchy.
Lack of Achievements: Louis V earned the epithet "le Fainéant," which translates to "the Do-Nothing." This nickname reflects the perception that he was ineffective and had little impact on the kingdom’s politics or progression.
End of a Dynasty: His death without a surviving heir led to the end of the Carolingian dynasty’s rule over France. He was succeeded by Hugh Capet, which established the Capetian dynasty that would rule France for many generations.
Historical Impact: Although Louis V's reign is often overlooked due to its lack of significant achievements and short duration, his rule represents a pivotal transition period in French history, from the era of Carolingian rule to the rise of the Capetian dynasty.
Debunking Myths: We dissect the reasons behind the infamous label, exploring the socio-political complexities of his time.
Comparison with Contemporaries: Contrast Louis V's actions with other monarchs of his time to provide a clearer picture of his rule.
💡 Reflect on History
Lessons Learned: What can modern leaders learn from Louis V's passive approach to governance?
Historical Misinterpretations: How have historians' views on Louis V evolved over the years?

Lothair I or Lothar I was the Holy Roman Emperor, and the King of Bavaria, Italy and Middle Francia.
Lothair was the eldest son of the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye, daughter of Ingerman the duke of Hesbaye. On several occasions, Lothair led his full-brothers Pippin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German in revolt against their father to protest against attempts to make their half-brother Charles the Bald a co-heir to the Frankish domains. Upon the father's death, Charles and Louis joined forces against Lothair in a three-year civil war. The struggles between the brothers led directly to the breakup of the Frankish Empire assembled by their grandfather Charlemagne, and laid the foundation for the development of modern France and Germany.

King Louis V The Do Nothing King Of France (Louis le Fainéant)
King Louis V is often referred to as "The Do Nothing King," and remains one of history's most enigmatic monarchs.
Dive into the depths of his reign to uncover the truths and myths surrounding his time on the throne. Frankish king Louis was from the Carolingian dynasty, reigning at the end of the 10th century.
👑 The Reign of King Louis V
Duration and Challenges: Explore the brief reign from 986-987 AD, marked by political instability and limited royal authority.
Legacy: Despite the negative moniker, Louis V's reign had lasting impacts on the feudal structure of France, setting precedents for his successors.
📜 The Historical Context
The Carolingian Dynasty: Understand the role of Louis V as the last king of the Carolingian dynasty and how this period shaped medieval Europe.
Political Landscape: Insight into the power struggles with the nobility that characterized the era and ultimately led to his lack of notable achievements.
🔍 Why "The Do Nothing"?
Short Reign: Louis V was the last Carolingian king of France, reigning for a very short period from 986 until his death in 987. His brief reign marked the end of the Carolingian dynasty’s control over France.
Ascension Challenges: His accession to the throne was not smooth. Louis V only became king after the death of his father, Lothair, and his reign was marked by nobility conflicts and the weakening central power of the monarchy.
Lack of Achievements: Louis V earned the epithet "le Fainéant," which translates to "the Do-Nothing." This nickname reflects the perception that he was ineffective and had little impact on the kingdom’s politics or progression.
End of a Dynasty: His death without a surviving heir led to the end of the Carolingian dynasty’s rule over France. He was succeeded by Hugh Capet, which established the Capetian dynasty that would rule France for many generations.
Historical Impact: Although Louis V's reign is often overlooked due to its lack of significant achievements and short duration, his rule represents a pivotal transition period in French history, from the era of Carolingian rule to the rise of the Capetian dynasty.

Lothair (French:Lothaire; Latin:Lothārius; 941 – 2 March 986), sometimes called Lothair III or Lothair IV, was the Carolingian king of West Francia from 10 September 954.
Regency
Lothair, born near the end of 941, was the son of Louis IV and Gerberga of Saxony. He succeeded his father in 954 at the age of thirteen and was crowned at the Abbey of Saint-Remi by Artald of Reims, Archbishop of Reims. Lothair's mother made an arrangement with her brother-in-law Hugh the Great, Duke of the Franks and Count of Paris, who had been an adversary to Lothair's father. In exchange for supporting Lothair's rule Hugh was given rule over Aquitaine and much of Burgundy as more or less a viceroy. Lothair inherited a kingdom where the great magnates took lands, rights and offices almost without any regard for the king's authority. Magnates like Hugh the Great and Herbert II, Count of Vermandois were always a veiled threat.
In 955, Lothair and Hugh together took Poitiers by siege. With Hugh the Great's death in 956, Lothair, only fifteen, came under the guardianship of his maternal uncle Bruno, archbishop of Cologne. With Bruno's advice, Lothair mediated between Hugh's sons, Hugh Capet and the younger Otto Henry. The king gave Paris and the ducal title to Capet, although he later invested Otto with the Duchy of Burgundy in 960.
