Charles

Charles (died Jan. 25, 863) was the third son of the Frankish emperor Lothar I. Upon his father’s death, he inherited the Rhone valley of Burgundy and Provence. He was the first king of Provence, but he died without issue, and Provence was seized by his elder brother, the emperor Louis II.
