Louis is preparing for war when he dies at Frankfurt on August 28, 876.
He is buried at the abbey of Lorsch, leaving three sons and three daughters.
His sons, unusually for the times, respect the division made a decade earlier and each contents himself with his own kingdom.
Considered by many to be the most competent of the grandsons of Charlemagne, Louis in the face of the attacks of Vikings, Slavs, and others had obtained for his kingdom a certain degree of security.
He lived in close alliance with the Church, to which he was very generous, and entered eagerly into schemes for the conversion of his heathen neighbors.
